Textures and brightness issues on Console

Is any other console player struggling to make out survivors in game?

Recently, I have been struggling to see and track survivors on the particularly darker maps (MacMillian, Coldwind, Yamaoka, ) and I think it is mainly down to the fuzzy textures and dark corners and shadows that can be found on these maps.

Is there anything I can do to improve this outside of the game settings?

It's getting to the stage where I can't even track scratch marks and that was difficult at the best of times .

    I play on PS4 and there is no brightness or gamma setting. On some areas of maps it's hard to see, both as a survivor or killer. In the Gideon Meat Plant I have to stop playing because I can't see most things.

    I have a 55" 4K HDR TV and never thought I'd have an issue with seeing something :(

    I heard textures were blurry on console, it must be pretty hard to discern a survivor from other objects at a distance

    I'm on ps4 but I'm not really experiencing problems with brightness. It might be because I have my TV brightness turned up all the way tho, maybe that's your problem

    I know 4 killer mains that have stopped playing DbD until various bugs get fixed including this very issue.

    As far as I know there is no way to fix it anywhere. I've tried changing the settings on my TV and it still looks like I'm viewing things from inside Chewbacca's buttcrack cause it's all dark and fuzzy.

    Throw in the sound issues and it becomes The Helen Keller Simulator.

    Hopefully the mid chapter patch will fix some part of this issue.

    Yes, this just reminds me why I'm taking a break, I had one moment at a gen in the cornfields behind the killer shack where survivors kept tapping it to stop regression and between the messy textures and other visual issues I could literally not discern where they were even though I knew at least 2-3 were there from the scratch marks. It's crazy right now, just wondering if I need to do as @PhantomMask20763 stated and up my brightness but it's already pretty high, it wasn't this bad/dark/blurry pre-fps update though. I used to have minimal problems tracking in the cornfields now it's just sad and I can't hear anything over the chase music anyway...I don't notice it too much on Macmillan but it's pretty bad all round right now.

    I play on Xbox and it looks awful. It is hard to see survivors even if you're right in front of them, @Mat_Sella. Everything looks blurry and out of focus. I can't play long because it hurts my eyes. Hopefully they fix it.
