Extremely Bright Sky

[CreamyRaccoon]

It may look like it in the screenshots but the sky in my game is extremely bright.  It's almost completely white/yellow depending on the time of day.  Only mods that I think would change it are the weather mods in the guide.

When you run the launcher it creates new versions of Fallout.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini in  %USERPROFILE%\(My )Documents\my games\Fallout3 . If you have an existing "Fallout.ini" and "FalloutPrefs.ini" in the Mod Organizer profile you are using then it will overwrite the one  that the launcher just created. When you run the launcher you need to delete these two files in the MO profiles folder you are using and reapply the ini tweaks from the guide. The guidance in the Skyrim ini guide also applies to Fallout. I'll copy the relevant parts of that guidance and put it in the Fallout 3 guide.

I don't have this problem in the game I'm playing. I have the brightness in the game settings at roughly half. I have ENBoost enabled, but I don't use a regular ENB.

[CreamyRaccoon]

I'm not using an ENB. So you have no idea what's causing this? Also the sunlight on the world is extremely bright too.t

Do you use any mods which mess with image spaces ? It looks like you might have a mod that have disabled the adaptation effect.. which will cause that too happen since the game was designed with values that assumed you had that effect to compensate.

I was fiddling aroundwith the settings in the launcher disabling hdr fixed it. thanks for the replies.

What graphics card are you using? I have an AMD R9 290X and I am able to use HDR.

 

I added to the guide pointers to the STEP instructions on setting up video cards since these are the same as for Fallout. They don't explicitly mention HDR, but if the HDR box is checked after the game detects the video card it is usually, but not always as you discovered, OK to leave this checked.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760

Whenever I have HDR Enabled the game is extremely bright.  Been google searching for a while now but to no avail.  If anyone has suggestions I appreciate it.

[Kelmych]

Users of other games have also complained that the screen is too bright when using HDR. I suggest not using it since it obviously causes problems for you.

[CreamyRaccoon]

I know you probably hate me right now but indoors this happens with HDR disabled.

Try disabling Realistic Lighting Overhaul and see if this changes. Try running an MO profile with just the vanilla files or only a few files such as fixes and UI mods and see if it happens; you should have such a profile from when you finished the installation of the initial UI mods.

Disabled RLO and it was still there but it less noticeable (was in the distance or not as close to me).  The clean save didn't have it all.

It looks like my settings in the launcher are being overwritten the light and specularity fade specifically.

Thanks for being extremely helpful I know I seem helpless and stupid but your replies and answers have helped me quite a bit keep up the great work!

The guide has been revised with the INI tweaks moved to a new Fallout 3 INI Tweak subguide. This subguide includes the details on editing the INI tweaks and the use of the Launcher mentioned in my previous post.
