Posted August 30, 2017 At night things are brighter than with the old stable client but lanterns and lamps don't lighten the area around them. Whether they are on or off, the brightness of the scene is not affected. There is a glow around them but no change to the rest of the area. Same in caves.

Posted August 30, 2017 If you got the dynamic lights limited to 1 nothing won't be lighted up as the primary light is sun/moon. Best to set it to 8 (anything above will cause a huge performance drop) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2017 I have it set to this, but I have noticed that unlike before, I have no longer any need for lanters. Caves are completely lighted up and I can see just fine even in clomplete darkness. What causes this? Can this be improved? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2017 Noticed this as well. I've had dynamiclights turned off, set to 8, and currently at 16.. no need for lanterns anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2017 Oh, so there are new settings in the client? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2017 Well, this isn't an improvement as far as I can see (pun intended). Not at all "immersive". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2017 Can that setting be changed in-game? Or only before you press "Play"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) The default brightness of the (soon-to-be defunct) client is currently far too dark at night, even with high-quality lamps and lanterns, so the brightness of the new client is a welcome change. Just need lanterns and lamps to add to it, and it'll be perfect on that front. P.S. "muh immersion" is a stupid excuse; some (most?) of us like to actually have the ability to see in darker situations without abusing things like contrast. P.P.S. Please have rarity actually make a difference with lamps and lanterns. Edited August 30, 2017 by Delacroix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2017 I think there should be a balance between seeing nothing, and being able to see like if the room was lit. Whats the point of lamps if I can see everything wherever I walk around? I'm not talking seeing shapes, or knowing where I am walking: I am talking that I can see everything like a fully lit room. I also haven't messed around with my settings or anything, so is not that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 12, 2017 A display brightness slider has been added to the client for those who prefer to change the amount of dark/light they want to see. I'm closing this as resolved. https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/157878-patch-notes-28sept2017/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
