This is not a new issue, this started several patches ago.

As soon as any component on my mech goes critical damage my mech chassis that i can see from the cockpit lights up ultra bright red and my FOV goes real dark.

Only happens on forest colony and will happen with any mech I use. I do notice that my cockpit frame does occassionally light up ultra red on other maps but i do not get the dark screen FOV.

Steps to Reproduce
1. Boot the game.
2. Login to the game.
3. Play on Forest Colony
4. Get Critical damage
5. Observe Dark Screen and ultra red mech frame.

Seriously this is a game killer on forest colony and should be addressed.

I definitely still get similar issues on FC. It's strange because it happens while I'm under fire on that map, but seemingly only on certain parts of the map. It almost seems like the screen is supposed to become a tad darker when you're hit...say -10% brightness when someone scores a hit...but that each time a new person hits you it subtracts more so you end up completely unable to see. That's a total stab in the dark (appropriately), but it describes the nature of the problem pretty well.

Same issue, though it is happening on multiple maps for me.

I get this when I take weapons fire on forest colony. All I see is black and bright flashes.

I just noticed this in the command chair section...

HDR/Glowing Mechs [Resolved]

Screens fade to pitch black when looking at very bright objects, primarily glowing BattleMechs. Our engineers have identified and located the issue which has two parts. An adjustment to the HDR settings and a fix for the glowing damage texture. Expect a fix in the November 6th patch.


they do realize this hasn't been fixed right? i mean in my experience it's not even really marginally better

Known issue, work in progress.

@Dagger6T6: Used to happen on all maps. Now it's just on Forest Colony (you'll notice it doesn't happen on FC Snow). Something to do with the fog effect that map has, I think.
