📋 About This Mod
~~EPILEPSY WARNING~~
Under certain rare, uncommon conditions, the eye-adaptation and contrast
enhancing effects can occasionally be driven to change rapidly in response to
unusually severe lighting events.
Under no normal circumstances should Seriously HDR produce visual discomfort.
If you have found a setup that is causing a serious problem I am 100% interested
in solving it and I encourage you to contact me.
Seriously HDR has been tuned with compatibility and long-term usage in mind and
will play well with most content, but I can't guarantee there isn't a mod out there
with bright lights being used in a weird way that interacts with the eye adaptation
negatively.
The only notable place I've found in the GOTY edition that makes a lot of screen
flicker is standing very near the Shivering Isles portal with the Medium Roast.
Everywhere else is very good. Sometimes very bright, flickering lights in close
proximity will cause major brightness changes. Lightning from thunderstorms can
also cause a very severe flash at night with certain Roasts. The HDR algorithm is
rather susceptible to particle effects blowing at the screen, so certain areas with
magical mist or other luminous sprite effects can cause significant and rapid
dimming of the screen. Sadly there is very little control over the eye adaptation
parameters that could permit a safer setup.
There was a glitch in foggy weather that caused the screen to strobe when
looking at the horizon, and for some reason the "DefaultWeather" weather has
broken/different HDR behavior than the other weathers and selecting it via the OBR
menu would result in the screen pulsing and strobing before I found a solution.
Classic Roast and Espresso Roast are probably the "most safe" as they have a
much lower emphasis on using the eye adaptation to increase contrast and should
therefor minimize the amount of "flaring" and full screen dimming.
This mod is packaged with:
OR Additional Effects Volumetric Fog and Bokeh DOF Addons
