Is anyone having difficulties with seeing on the new Coldwind rework?

I swear they made this map worse.

The map is so damn bright (even without filters) to where I struggle to see scratch marks and see survivors. The corn is significantly worse and they made it thicker than before and overall made corn blindness worse.

    Survivors is invisible on this map now. I dont know how they can make worse? There is 2 answer: The Game & Coldwind

    Yes, it's so bright that it makes auras difficult to see as survivor or killer.

    Yes. The map is way too bright and auras are near impossible to see.

    I'm perpetually discombobulated on new Coldwind. Red auras are hard, yellow auras are harder, and sometimes chase music starts and I just spin around going 'huh?' because I did not and still do not actually see anything through this extra-strength corn.

    Wish the brightness was toned down to Glenvale levels, at least. Make it dawn instead of midday.

    The Game at least looks substantially better. I don't think old Coldwind looked that bad in comparison to the new version. And maybe it's just me but the brightness of new Coldwind makes it worse even from an aesthetic standpoint.

    There's nothing good about the new Coldwind in any regard from my pov

    I can imagine yellow auras being hard to read. Red ones are ok to me so far, but scratch marks are extremely hard for me to see on the map in general because of how bright it is everywhere, and especially in the corn. At least on old coldwind you could get used to corn blindness. The corn is literally too thick to adapt to. Or it could be the lack of contrast of the corn with the overall tone setting of the realm.

    Yep I honestly hate the new Coldwind as survivor too. My aesthetic preferences aside the map is legitimately difficult to play on from a vision perspective. I also know of some colourblind players who say that new Coldwind is so bright that the colourblind settings are basically ineffective and they can't see scratch marks.

    I think they really need to tweak the brightness of Coldwind again. It's deplorable to play on.

    Glenvale levels would be perfect. I think the corn also needs to have more of a contrast with the brightness of the realm. The lack of contrast makes the corn look "thicker" and subsequently basically almost impossible to see survivors who go through it.

    What's bothersome about the Coldwind changes is that people will be getting this realm a lot in general since it's one of the OG realms and it's one of the realms with the most map versions.

    It's the pale pink ones they use to distinguish character models. They get drowned out in the paleness of the rest of the map.

    The fact that they literally made the map so bright it becomes impossible to see on combine the fact that they really didn't address any of the actual disgusting loops that can be chained together, and braindead loops that are impossible to mindgame. Add all of it into a bag, and you got maps that literally became more nasty after an update you'd expect them to not make the maps as survivor sided, but hey they did it to the game map and crotus prenn, so what else could I expect? Making fractured main building a little bit less weak does not make up for the fact of everything else they messed up in the process.

    so far i havent had any issues on them tbh.

    even the corn, which i at first thought was going to be horrible, ended up being not as bad as i would have guessed.

    in fact, i prefer them a lot over some of the really dark maps such as Autohaven where yes, there wont be corn blocking my view, but therefore any Claudette cant just blend in with the background even mid chase, making me lose them super easily.


    though i havent played on them a lot yet, so i cant really form an educated opinion on them yet.

    I’ve been in general having trouble seeing the rework because I haven’t gotten Coldwind once since the update lmao

    When I was playing Nurse this was "one" of my least favorite maps to play as her because of the corn. Now it is "the" least favorite for me.
