So I posted this in General, but it seems more like a bug than anything else, so moved it here (if a mod could be nice and delete my post in general, would appreciate it).
So it seems there is a glitch with the Shader in the Graphic settings. I think it happened after the Dragon Bash update, or after the Sky Pirates. Never noticed it before, until after one of these patches.
Basically, it is way too bright. To the point of glowing. Even the text is glowing. Some screenshots below to show what I am talking about. I am pretty sure this is not normal.

I noticed that the lighting changed after the patch late last night. My game has crashed twice since the patch. I think I crashed 3-4 times between beta and 1600 hours in live, so two crashes following a patch that messed with lighting has to make me wonder if the two aren’t related.
Thought I’d bring this back up, as I am still having this issue and haven’t yet found a solution to it.
Any help at all would be appreciated. I am drawing a blank. Someone said in a different thread that it was post processing that was causing it, but turned it off and still have the same results.

I noticed this yesterday for the first time, as well. So, I am guessing after the one of the more recent updates. I can’t remember where I was exactly, but the glare from a large-ish light area was so strong it made half the screen impossible to see.
I’ve only come across it once or twice, and I haven’t done any Personal Story quests recently, so I can’t comment on that.
Well in game (out of cutscenes) it isn’t too bad. It mostly seems to act up during cutscenes more than anything else.
Screenshot below to show regular game footage (I know, not the best light, but figured I’d take one randomly while in game so you can see that it isn’t a constant thing). And another of a cutscene right afterwards. It seems to mostly be cutscene related.

Today I did the Sprint, and the ‘bloom effect’ (I guess it’s called) was really bad! It really slows down the race because you can’t see anything but a big white glare. It goes away by itself after a few seconds (maybe 4-7), but that certainly can put you in last place. I haven’t changed anything in my settings, or my drivers, so I’m guessing it’s something in the last patch or two.
I had this issue as well. I think it was on Monday. I was doing my personal story and I was wondering why there was a glow around my character. mine had a greenish tint to it. However that could be because my armor is green. I agree with the timeframe. Possibly after Dragon Bash but Definitely after Sky Pirates.
Is this all cutscenes in game? Does this happen with all of your characters? Screenshots are appreciated!
Thank you!
Hard to tell on my other characters, as they have all done their personal story already so don’t have any other cutscenes like the PS ones to test it with.
But so far, from what I have seen, it seems to happen with all my cutscenes on that Necro that I kept showing screenshots for. Was leveling her through her personal story and all cutscenes had that intense bloom effect going on.
EDIT: Made a new Sylvari to try it out on something different, and while it is not as bright as it is for my Human, it is still kind of bright. Screenshot below to show it, and added another screenshot of my graphic settings so you can see what I am using. The resolution got cut off, but I’m running at 1600×900. Also added my Nvidia settings to see if maybe it is a conflict between the two.

So, is this kind of ‘blind’ different than the blind creatures place on you? I’ve been blinded for 10 months, and never lost the ability to see what’s on the screen before this last patch or so.
That also doesn’t explain getting this effect when no creatures or other players are around, though…

That blind is different from the regular blind, I think it also has a different tool tip. The game lighting has changed though. I think its fine with my shaders on low. If you just want to mess around and see exactly how bright the game can get, drink any alcoholic drinks in game until the screen starts swirling then go to a snowy map.
Sorry, I don’t have post-processing on, so I don’t see the effects of the alcohol. Regardless, this kind of bright-white ‘bloom’ wasn’t present before, and now it is. I am hoping it is a bug that can be corrected; otherwise, sadly, the game has taken a turn for the worse graphics-wise.

Because its a race its meant for you to Block your view,and jump miss etc.
Didnt get screens, but I just did story events from the water temple in straights of devastation till the end. On every cut scene I got exactly the bloom effect above – everything blown out and glowy. I agree that it was somewhere around dragonbash / sky pirates.
