PC What's the recommended brightness setting?

[Ray Garraty]

I remember nights were really dark in A16-17, it was reckless to walk around on foot at night because you could easily stumble across a wolf or a zombie

Now the general brightness level at night and inside buildings feels too high, almost to a point when you don't need to use flashlight or torch at all. It kinda ruins the tense atmosphere that once were in the game...

So what's the recommended brightness setting in 1.0?

Just noticed this myself. Even at 50% brightness the night vision is a waste of dukes

Yeah, back in A21 upon entering the building light level decreased almost instantly, which was noticable. Sadly now in 1.0 this effect is gone

Some people are turning it down to 0 and still feel it is too bright.  I agree it is too bright, but I leave it at 50 because I feel the colors look better when you don't change the setting.  There is a mod that makes things darker, but apparently even that isn't as dark in 1.0 as it was in A21 and older.

A link pls

I've never used it, so don't have a link and don't feel like searching.  But the mod that was mentioned is DoughPhungus's Dark Nights.
