Autohaven maps are TOO DARK
I just had a game in autohaven and i hate those maps so much because they are just too fkg dark... Even swamp isn't that dark anymore so why those are?!
I literally found a key and I CANT FIND THE HATCH BECAUSE ITS JUST WAY TOO DARK 👎🏽 (if you use filters in-game do not answer to this)
BHVR should change the brightness up?

I posted about this. I can barely play that map as killer in daytime without shutting curtains.
I played as survivor yesterday and it looked fine but matches as killer have crushed blacks even in basement which makes no sense to the lighting aspect.
I don't know if it's a variation that was fine or it being survivor.
As killer I went down basement and the corner around bottom of stairs was totally black.
As survivor it looked normal.
As you were survivor maybe the issue is just with some variations. I would say 1 is fine and 2 are wrong (Crushed blacks).
I'm going to take screens next time I get a chance.

Hmmm I DK i have problem in both sides that they are just too dark to see. Swamp is bright now but before that too was unplayable bc of darkness. Let's hope they can adjust those maps like swamp cus it's terrible xD

Yes
Autohaven maps (but also areas of other maps) are too dark / don't have balanced lighting. Maps don't need to be super bright for you to be able to navigate them. But as is, playing in a not significantly darkened environment makes it pretty much impossible to see anything 😅

It's ok
Swamp is still a lot more darker than Autohaven (At least from my experience). Autohaven doesn't bother me that much.

No
I sincerely don't think it is dark at all, maybe it's something related to your setup/monitor configuration? Or maybe something in mine, Idk. I think RPD however is really dark in some areas, like too dark (especially at that bathroom where a generator sometimes spawns), but with Autohaven and even Swamp I honestly don't have this problem with seeing stuff from afar or up close

Yes
Yeah, I noticed that too. Autohaven is like twice as dark compared to the average map. Yamaoka is pretty darker than average as well, though not as bad as Autohaven.

yknow i was thinking like "i dont remember this being a problem for me" but now that i think about it, i think everytime i load into autohaven its followed by me tilting my monitor down so i can see a little better

Get your TV Monitor settings right. Then it is fine.
If you have these automatic Contrast / Brightness optimizers on - turn them off. They make the picture worse.
You should see the different grades of the darkness levels - the automatic messes this up most of the time.
Get one of these photo calibration pictures you find online and use this.

I answered this but forgot I normally have my brightness turned up a notch because in general the whole game is too dark for me (not just Autohaven but all the darker maps are too dark.) But I guess among the dark maps Autohaven isn’t the worst offender, I think Yamaoka Estates for instance are harder to see on that Autohaven (not only are those maps dimly lit but they have tons of dark foliage to hide in too.)
Probably the worst map though in terms of lighting was the old Game before it got reworked. I literally couldn’t see anything in large parts of the lower level on that map, it was ridiculous. The current version is much, much better lit.

i do not have any issue with swamp for me its WAY more lighter than autohavens like i literally cannot see ######### in those maps and i bumb into things etc.
Like no map has this same thing as thease i dont understand it exept the new lampkin lane also many areas are pitch black and i was downed i can hear the hatch near me but its just so dark that i cant see nthg else than those orange lines on the ground cus door were open.. And i have good setting also and none of the other maps are like those so idk.
