Did they change how the NV scope works?

[War Barney]

Not sure if I just didn't notice it on esamir before but I logged in today and when using the NV scope on esamir I was constantly being blinded by a almost completely white screen when using it outside. Its so bad that I literally can't see people outside while using the NV scope on esamir (not checked other conts yet) as its just a white screen with no outline of a person at all.


Is this just a random bug that should be fixed next time I log-in or has some change been made so the NV scope isn't useful during the day now?

It's been this way for some time now (Edit: If not always, as postal pointed out). The IRNV is brighter on Esamir, for some odd reason.
There's been a some confusion when it comes to figuring out what SOE is trying to do with the sight, from a real life technical standpoint. Personally I think it's just an unfortunate consequence of how the ingame mechanic works.

I'm guessing that you have shadows turned off, right? Turning them on does alleviate the issue.

I can't recall the IR scope ever being useful on Esamir.

It's so annoying when people start to smoke the shit out of bases at Esamir since I NEVER use the night vision scope on that continent. I sure hope they will fix it sometme.

Its proabky my most used scope mainly cause I forget to change it :)
I've never had an issue on esamite or any other cont with it whiting out.

you have two possible ways to fix it.

number one is when your pc is great and you can handle the insane bloom: set graphics quality to high

number two instead gives you 99.99% invisible infiltrators: set graphics quality to low
