Guild Wars 2

Every time I launch the game Light Adaptation keeps turning itself back on. So then I keep having to uncheck it. I don’t recall it doing this before. At least not until a recent patch.

I noticed a few weeks back that some video options were not causing the settings file to be saved when changed. I was having the same issue with Effect LOD constantly re-enabling itself. You can work around it by toggling another setting that does trigger a save after turning Light Adaption off. I know either of the character model/quality options will trigger a save, I did not test other options.

Thread caught my attention because my light adaption kept turning off. It has stopped now.

My workaround for this is since post-processing allows or disables light adaptation, I’ve simply turned it off. I actually prefer the look of post-processing off. The game isn’t so glaring in areas and dark areas actually look appropriately dark.
