So this is a problem i've been having since i installed RadianceV

i went through some posts but found nothing useful.

 

Description: Basically, when i installed it, it looks like all the lights were replaced by the sun itself

during daylight it's kinda normal, acceptable

but during rains or nighttime, i can barely see anything

first i thought it was a problem with my car pack, CHP, until i found a taxi on the street and it's sign was so bright that i couldn't see anything else, i'm using the latest RadianceV on Bright settings.

Does anyone know what can i do to fix this? it's really annoying, i even stopped usign CHP because of this.

In OpenIV, go to mods-->update-->update-->common-->data.  Extract "visualsettings.dat" to your desktop.  Now open it and look for "car.defaultlight".  You will find two options, a day and night.  For night, change to 1500.00

 

Now save.  In OpenIV, click "edit mode", drag and drop the edited visualsettings, then click edit mode again.  All you need to do is go in game and verify if that's better.

 

For the taxi sign issue, check the file comments for Bright Lights, I believe someone included an image that'll fix that.

Decrease it, but don't go down a huge number.  Take it slowly and see what fits your liking.

I've put it on 100, but it's the same, am i doing something wrong?

Are you sure that you’re in edit mode? It’s an easy thing to miss.

Can you take a screenshot showing your day and night settings in the visualsettings file, please?  That still seems far too bright for that setting.

What do you mean exactly? i thought i already posted a print of the files above, is it the wrong one?

and that screenshot is the most current one?  I'm just trying to verify that is accurate.

 

Pause the game and go into GTA's settings, what is PostFX and ShaderQuality set on?

Yup, most recent screenshots

Everything maxed out, well except for density and such, my specs aren't so beefy

but i made sure to check the PostFX and ShaderQualtiy when i installed RadianceV. they're on very high

i've set the emission to 10, i'm gonna try it out

This is where i am, on the OpenIV

Try lowering PostFX and Shaders, at this point those are the only things I can surmise which might be causing the lights to be that bright.

Are there any other mods that does the same as RadianceV?

i was considering bright lights but i stopped when it said it was not realistic.

 

"Have you ever thought what it's like to be wanderers in the 4th dimension? To be exiles?"

VisualV is also pretty good, have you tried that?

The ENB? i had downloaded it but i'm a bit confused on the installation, i mean, it's a ENB so it will hit my FPS a lot, i don't know how to install just the needed files for the brightness

PostFX and ShaderQuality set on normal

You don't have to worry about installing it, VisualV has an OIV installer, which auto installs for you.  All you need to do is in OpenIV go to tools-->package installer.

This one -

You can either do it manually or auto, I believe.

 

Yup, i'm installing it now

but i think i'll suffer from a major FPS drop, are there any other alternatives?

This is my visualsettings.dat right now, it's on 10 and still bright as hell

I did these steps:

Opened OpenIV, extracted visualsettings.dat to desktop, editted it with Notepad++, saved it

deleted the visualsettings.dat on the OpenIV, and replaced it by the edited one, opened the game and...nothing

Could you by any chance please upload your visualsettings.dat so i can be 100% sure this is not an error on my part?

Update: Installed VisualV, lights are very dim, i will update my visualsettings.dat to fix it

and yes, FPS drop, and when i go to LSPDFR i know i'll have a even bigger FPS Drop, any tips on optimization?

I'm sorry, I cannot as redistributing game files is against Rockstar's TOU and our guidelines.  At this point, the only thing I can think is that you have an ENB or other mod installed as well, because changing the visualsettings should 100% lower or raise brightness depending.

 

There is a way to determine if your visualsettings is the problem, though.  In the main GTA V directory, rename the mods folder to _mods

 

This will disable the folder from being used.  Go in game and see how the lights look.
