📋 About This Mod
08-23-20- V2. 0 Update: Fixed issue with Eye-Adaptation Effect.
I guess I have more sensitivity to light than most other people, but I personally believe that most modern games over-use Dynamic Lighting. It's a great effect when used appropriately and/or sparingly, but when you're constantly inundated with drastically bright lights during you gaming session, it's not long before eye-strain and headaches makes you quit/exit (at least it does for me).
This mod changes the Sun's intensity, glow, color, eye-adaptation rate, and removed lens flare. It also changes the color of the sky and clouds, and the way light appears (glows) through windows.
All Game Versions (including " The Following"):
No other mods installed:
Copy data3.pak to ....%Dying Light\ DW and overwrite (make backup of original)
Using other mods as well:
"Data" folder from this mod needs to be added/merged to the data3.pak by using WinRAR or 7zip
This visual mod removes the strong glow and bloom effects in the game, and speeds up HDR eye adaptation to reduce glare from windows, sky, and horizon. It also alters sky and cloud colors during sunrise and day. With 215 endorsements and 5,889 downloads, it's a community-approved tweak for players bothered by excessive brightness.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 215 endorsements and nearly 6k downloads
- Targets a common annoyance—blinding glare—without overhauling the whole game
- Simple, focused tweak that improves visual comfort
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be compatible with newer game versions
- Only affects lighting and sky colors, so if you want broader visual changes, this won't cover them
- Potential conflicts with other lighting or weather mods that alter the same effects
For players who find the default bloom and glow effects too intense, especially when looking at bright windows or the sky. If you're tired of squinting at glare and want a cleaner, easier-on-the-eyes look, this is for you. Skip if you're happy with the vanilla lighting or want more comprehensive visual overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using other lighting mods, install this one after them to ensure it overrides the effects properly.
- Test the mod during different times of day (sunrise, noon, sunset) to see the full effect on sky colors.
- Since it's a simple file drop, you can easily remove it if you don't like the changes—just delete the files.
