2.5.0 Patch Notes

Hi all! Same as last time! We're requiring you to follow the format below (you can copy paste it). Please, please, please follow this format, and check to see if what you are reporting has already been said:

 

**Explanation**:

**Evidence**:

**If  replicable, how**:

**Platform**:

 

By doing this, we can use the upvote system to measure severity/frequency and also provide the developers with more info than simply, "Hey, this thing is not working, can you fix? Thanks." While allowing less severe/frequent bugs some more visibility instead of flooding the thread with the same bug. If you wish to report a bug and see that it's already reported, then just reply to that comment. If you have a workaround for that bug, then comment it on that post.

As someone that is colorblind so it's effecting me more... This is really sad to read :(

The entire game looks washed out to me to the point I'm having trouble spotting enemy players let alone determining which loot is which. This change doesn't need to wait until "next patch" but be hot fixed asap tbh. I'm already tired of not being able to tell what gun a drop is until I'm right next to it... and then on top of that I need to actually read the rarity to know what exactly I'm picking up.

I really don't mean to be rude because I love all the hard work you guys do but I'm basically not going to be able to play your game until this "next patch" hits and that's super disappointing. What good are performance optimizations if it comes at the cost of making your game not worth playing.

On the issue of the game generally being washed out, would you be able to provide any specific examples (an image, or just a specific time of day and location that caught your eye) We want to be super-super extra sure we’re on the same page about this!

Explanation: The colours of the weapons in the ground are so bad, we can barelly see them properly

If replicable, how: just look at the weapons in the ground

Platform:PC

Please fix this

We have a fix for this lined up for the next release!

As noted elsewhere, this was intended to be an optimization. This issue actually prompted us to improve our pipeline for approval of new gameplay affecting visuals before they get into the game.

Sorry about this!

Thanks for your reply and I'd be happy to provide any information that can help. To preface this I'll add this nugget: My specific kind of colorblindness is Protanopia. Prior to the 2.5 update I always had a slight bit of trouble differentiating between blue/purple items as well as a slight bit of difficulty seeing at night.

With the 2.5 update when I have the most trouble seeing enemies is at night time just as before but its waaaaayy more pronounced. On multiple occasions already my friends have had to ask me "why I didn't shoot that guy reviving his teammate" even though they are in the middle of my screen (just as an example). Since this update the entire game feels less vibrant, hazy, and almost like it's running at a lower resolution (although I'm sure that's not true). All colors are seemingly running together now which is ultimately what's making it difficult for me to differentiate between items, enemies, backgrounds, etc.

The specs I run the game off the top of my head:

1440p/144hz monitor 3d resolution: Epic Draw Distance: Epic Textures: Epic Shadows: Off Anti-Aliasing: Off Effects: Medium Post-Processing: Off

I'd be happy to come back later and provide screenshots of what's troubling me when I get the chance... even compare it with some screenshots of some of my older video clips too. Thanks for taking the time to post on reddit and respond to concerns.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

We did some side-by-side tests between older builds and 2.5 earlier today and the biggest difference we found was that night time is a little brighter than previous. I’ll be sure to do the same test with your settings- I know in the past that low settings with post processing has been darker, due to “auto brightness exposure” being disabled. Try turning that a notch higher and see what happens.

Any pictures would be very helpful!
