hi man the presets seem ok (a but too saturated for my taste but that can be fixed easily), however the sun makes any surface way too bright.. how can i turn that off... i messed around with the settings but can't seem to find it (i mean bloom is turned off in the presets)
The adjustment for brightness and glare can be found in the \SweetFX\Presets and alter the Arcania Gothic 4.txt .
Alter the lines under [HDR settings]. By altering the values under #define HDRPower and #define radius2 you can reduce the lighting glare.
Also don't use post processing in the advanced video options, this will create white glare.
so why exactly is the readme file for kingdoms of amalur?
oh I didn't notice that before must have got them mixed up. Just follow the description. I'll re-upload that was doing them in groups originally must have placed the wrong readme.
Got it fixed now, thanks for pointing that out.
