Does anyone know how to make Siptah less dark and gloomy? I mean in general – not for nights or specific events like the Maelstrom. I mean, just walking through the Redwood forest in broad daylight feels like you just about need a torch. Its too dark. Anyone know how to brighten it up? Is there a setting to be changed or a mod that “fixes” the gloomy appearance?

I think that is by design. Forests are darker than other areas. If you climb up the tree it lightens up.
Yeah, that is by design, given the fact that it was changed to be darker. They may have overcorrected slightly, but it is an improvement IMO. Siptah used to be much, much brighter overall. So bright that night just wasn’t really a thing at all.
Other than the gamma slider in settings, no.

I tremendously dislike how gloomy Siptah is, and the sad thing is the big lighting patch swapped things around. Exiled Lands used to have some pitch black areas that were unpleasant in anything but full daylight and when they created Siptah they fixed the lighting - Siptah was bright and enjoyable! You could even play the game at night! But some people hated this and complained and so now we have a Siptah that is completely hideous (because I play 80% of the time with night vision) and meanwhile that same patch that ruined Siptah made Exiled Lands lighting pretty damn good.
There are only a few places and times in EL when you need night vision, and when you need it it works well. In Siptah a lot of the time I could kinda get by without night vision but they’ve added so many small detailed things to interact with that I end up using night vision just so I don’t miss stuff. And everything looks terrible. Oh also on my screen gamma 2.05 is great for EL, I have to crank it up over 2.5 for Siptah, but of course it’s a global setting that is not map-specific so I have to keep changing it (or suffer).
i disagree on it being much brighter even back then i thought it was dark but now they made it even darker lol

I was very disappointed that they reverted the changes to the night. I was one of the weirdos that liked it the way it was.
“Weirdo’s” like me :'D that want nights to be dark as they were in the vanilla game on the vanilla map (Exiled Lands).
Conan is already arcade enough compared to other survival build sandbox games.
Torches or night-vision potions are the solution to dark nights

I thought it was pretty and I enjoyed looking at it.
I see,
Sadly some of us like me felt like it was a step down, from dark nights on Exiled Lands to nights which were bright as day on Ilse of Siptah, it just didn’t make any sense why the nights would have been light D:
only developers can. Because different areas of the map has different lightning
I think the worst thing about Siptah is the frequency of the Maelstrom makes the game darker than it needs to be. On official Siptah servers I feel like I’m playing in darkness 75% of the time because the Maelstrom is always appearing during the day.
