when does the experimental patch go stable?

When TFP feel it is ready to. Keep in mind that they are testing internally on the console version as well.

Maybe not the point,but this is easily fixable by just tweaking some monitor/graphic settings if you want darker nights.

I have friends who complain they can see nearly nothing at night as TOO dark and some who say night doesn't exist as too bright.

It is worse playing the game natively on Linux and the brightness adjustments do not work at all. There is no fix short of adjusting brightness prior to game so you can not even see your own PC desktop, then start the game.

The current workaround for that is to switch from OpenGL to Vulkan. We're doing a lot of testing on some other performance issues with the Linux build as well.
