Lighten up the Darkness (No More Dark Corners) Balanced Engine.ini Fix

About this Mod

I found the game's lighting a bit too dark in many areas, so I worked with Google Gemini for several hours to create this balanced Engine.ini fix. It improves visibility and shadow intensity without washing out the colors or ruining the atmosphere.

This was tested on Linux (Garuda) and should work on Steam Deck and Windows as well.

What it changes:

• []Better Lighting: Adjusts Skylight and Mid-tones to fill pitch-black corners.[/]

  []Clearer View: Reduces heavy Ambient Occlusion and Fog Density.[/]

  []Stability: Tweaks Eye Adaptation for a more consistent brightness.[/]

Global Accessibility (40+3 Languages)

I wanted this fix to be accessible to as many people as possible. To achieve this, I spent five hours in a collaborative session with Google Gemini, carefully translating my original German instructions into 40 major languages plus 3 bonus languages.

Each language has its own dedicated Text file to ensure the instructions are clear and easy to follow.

You can find the full list of supported languages (from Arabic to Vietnamese) in the included "00 - Overview" file.
