Weird auto brightness function.

[easyeb 137]

So I have this weird auto brightness function that is a bit annoying.

What it does is when I look at something light, like the sky, it turns the brightness down. And when I look at something dark, like rocks in shadows, it turns the brightness up.

What is frustrating though is that when I use weapon sights, most of the screen will be dark since the sights/optics often are black and it turns the brightness up – making it so that what I'm aiming at is too bright/washed out.

What I'm wondering is if this is an Arma feature, and if so, can it be turned off?

I've tried adjusting everything in the video settings to no avail.

Cheers!

I too am also having this issue. 😞

Have you found any solution?

The effect you describe is HDR. It's a core part of the way the game renders scenes and cannot be disabled.

Try changing the HDR setting in video options to see if that reduces the effect. If you are using mods, try the game without any mods loaded (poorly configured mods may potentially increase the effect).
