After the latest patch my LSPDFR stopped working and I couldn't fix the problem so I had to reinstall the whole game including all mods. After around 3 days I've managed to get it running, but now the lights of my police cars look very dull. Before the reinstall my lights have been really bright, so bright that I could hardly see anything during night patrols. Now I got the exact opposite -> my lights are so dull that I can't even tell if they're on during day time. I've installed Radiance V as well as Visual V but that didn't help. (my graphic settings are all at maximum)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :/

Did you install RadianceV after installing VisualV? VisualV replaces the same file that RadianceV replaces, so be sure to install RadianceV second. Also, make sure, if you're using a mods folder, that you've placed the files in the mods folder. If you have the visual settings file in the mods folder but you replaced it outside of the mods folder, it will use the file inside of the mods folder.

Thank you soooo much!!!  I followed your tip and installed Visual V first (this time with the package installer and not the manual install) and after that Radiance V - now it works like a charm! /hug

I understand what you're saying about the search bar, but I've just searched "lights dull" in the search bar and nothing helpful is being returned apart from "Install Radiance V and Visual V" as the OP has already done. Before suggesting they search, maybe check to see if there are helpful results when you actually do search first?

I also don't see anything about dull lights in that guide of yours, only how to correct an all white lightbar.

I'll guide you to this topic that had a similar problem, I've made a detailled answer to this. 

White and dull lights are similar problems that are corrected the same way if you installed things correctly. Something the OP apparently didn't, and should have checked in the first place.

But as I said, that topic isn't returned when you search for the terms related to this topic. It's clear you still haven't actually used the search bar to see for yourself why your advice was useless in this situation.

Regardless of whether or not they're similar problems, they may not appear to be the same to someone inexperienced. As well as this, just because something has a similar solution doesn't mean you're going to look in the same place for the answers.

Your topic does not mention Radiance V or Visual V. How on earth do you expect someone to go into that topic, find a different problem, which states a different solution and then infer an answer is beyond me!!

Also, in that thread regarding White lightbars:

Just set your Shaders and PostFX settings to High or above in the graphic options tab of your game

That's not even the solution for this users problem. Your guide has nothing to do with this!

No shit detective?! That's why they're asking for help. If they knew it was installed incorrectly, you think they'd be asking for help?

Not only do you give the advice to use the search bar which doesn't necessarily yield results, but you also link to a long ass guide that doesn't contain the real solution to their problem.

For the future, for whoever uses the search bar and finds this topic, here is your answer.

Dull lights can be caused by:

- Having Shaders not set to High/Ultra, same with PostFX.

- Not having Radiance V.

Glad you got it fixed.
