The gamma option on the game menu are separate from the shader option.

If you want to increase brightness you will have to open the shader options (home key) and do changes there.

Assuming you are on preset-1 it is very likely that the HDR option is causing your screen to go darker. Try to disable it or fine tune it. You can save the shader option or create a completely new one which fits your needs.

Ok i didn't know i can tweak shader but that resolved my problem i completely remove HDR i mean i unticked 2 squers and now im satisfied. Shader option window is a bit hard to navigate but i menaged with keyboard ty for a tip

Ive quickly tested new launcher and it works well. I have only comments to the launcher's overal look. To me it seems like central three squares and CF news network do not fit into overal design or together with other parts. Dunno, it could be just texts colour difference or some small detail like that nice red line below top crossfire text which is only there. Also icons on the right opens separatelly, icons on the right side opens all at once. ... however, it is just 1st look feeling, Im not sure what exactly feels to me disruptive.

Ok it seams that louncher not working same for everybody for me its perfect if someone like to look i provided small video as attachment. Sending as zip file Louncher preview.zip

Laucher seems to work well with all the options present and looks great. But it seems that clicking on any option opens 3 tabs in the browser, not that im complaining, I have enough RAM and more than enough, but there are people whose computers have problems with that. One question offtopic it seems that when I click on the gamma options in the game it gets even darker, do the shaders have locked settings and I shouldn't actually be touching them? I'm currently using those trial dx10,11,12 v2 shaders and overall I'm happy. I would like it to be even brighter, that's why I picked gamma options but nothing is perfect

Okay, I didn't see how big the file was when I downloaded it. In fact, I've never even seen that 3.1GB version. There are 2 places to download and both have a file size of 2.9GB Here on the Swat portal and on the MODDB page. So maybe you really downloaded something wrong. Since you have already downloaded the real archive, there is no need for me to give you links, have fun playing

Maybe you have taken everything into account, but I have to ask you, which version of windows are you using? Never mind, try to start the installation as an administrator, because sometimes Windows 10 does not allow writing to the system partition, so you need admin permissions or you simply install on a secondary partition. If you haven't unpacked the archive, but started the exe file directly from the archive, that also can be a problem. It is also possible that your antivirus has deleted or blocked some files, this is called a false positive reaction of the anti virus. Try to disable the antivirus while the installation is in progress. Don't worry, I am 100% sure that there is no malware in the installation files.

I just did a quick test of the new shaders. First of all, let me mention that I got a slight FPS drop from a stable 144 (which I locked) to a little over 100, but also stable without affecting the game, no lag, no sudden drops in fps, so the game runs smoothly. What is important is that the colors are good, in my opinion, brighter is better, unlike the old shader where everything was much darker. Just docking at the stations looks better, you can see more details, it's cleaner and without errors, which by the way were a lot on the old shader, to be honest. For those who like to watch the complete animation of entering the station, the experience is much better, or maybe I didn't pay attention to it before. In combat, seeing more details makes it easier to spot and hit the target, I guess because everything is brighter. Overall, I'm super happy with this, I haven't noticed any major flaws. I would like to mention that I personally prefer a brighter environment, maybe someone likes it more when it is darker.

Just tested, textures of vanilla ships do look much better like there is diference in a good way . No gliches btw this game looks better and better thanks to this mod. Great job you people are tireless. Have you done somethig to shaders? Cos the game now runs smooth

So it seams that diferent hardware have diferent issues.We need too much testers to help you. The best option is to wait another shader update and try to play as it is for now i think you cant handle so much problems and working on mod improvements at the same time. Noone is blaming you but we put big preasure on you crying obout small details. I sugest to open new thread obut this shader problems and game problems global so evrybody can post there issues and exange ideas of potentialy fixing them. If you need to test some fixes im offering my help every time dont hesitate to ask, maybe someone will also do that so we can test on diferent systems.

you should not share your device ID or Product ID in public. Here its ok i gues i consider this as healthy enviroment but do not do that on other sites.

Btw that shaders seam to use dx11 maybe integrating install of dx11 into the mod installer solves our little problems? So all we have to do is fresh install of game

I also experienced freezes but no stutter fps is fine. Think i solved little problems by updating the SP first then MP then run it at windowed mode and its working fine now its just ocasionall freezes at MP (i was thinking its server related lag) i dont try SP tho. Well with diferent computers diferent problems i use 2K resolution so graphic card do all heavy lifting CPU usage is almost zero even GPU usage is at 20% top. On 1080p CPU do most of the job. If you ask me problem is in shaders it self maybe reverting to older versions that worked will help. I need to mention that i did fresh install of Windows 11 and fresh install of the game but i neeaded to force install dx11 and all versions below also you need all redist packages dx12 not neaded but native to the windows.

Depending on your graphic card either via the ATI or Nvidia software.

Alternative to that you probably also can use the window mode in the launcher options. I think window mode does not have vsync on.

Yep windowed borderles mode dont have vsync on and solved my alt-tab pain in the ass problem

so I'm trying to push the game for faster FPS as 60 is ok but my monitor (and Gcard) can push to 144mhz refresh for 2K resolution (2560x1440).

could people share how they boosted FPS please?

Bear in mind I have done the graphics card thing to add my 3060

(have marked as tech difficulties because it technically is

Yep there will be pach in meantime you can turn off VSync in global setings at nVidia controll panel or for this game specifically seems to be a shader bug

There is an answer to my problems ty OP i had to update dx11 by force to my system that solved FPS drops but still locked to 60 i run win 11 and dx12 is native. It would be awesome if i can use dx12 in game ill provide feedback after this updates cheers

I was at work when event started i was not able to attend Im hoping that someone organise that or similar event again so everybody can attend.

Mannheim station Frankfurt system or Mainz Storage Facility that was few days ago my memory bluring But im sure that happen in one of those stations in Frankfurt

I also found a bug at Manhaim station Frankfurt system you enter at bar next picture is open space with ships mooving oround it was funny But seriously bar was inposible to use i didn't make a screenshot but its true

new title unlocked: "the ancient one"

That was the idea

Yea yea enjoy the journey until you reach your destination. I don't want to convince you of what I think is better. Obviously we have a difference of opinion. I thought I was old (my son keeps reminding me of that) but you guys are ancient Never mind i respect everyones opinion and i know when is time to let go
