you can alt-tab and it will work. Open the game, change the tab to anything else you have opened like Chrome and open the game filters Alt+F3 or whatever you have set it on, and you will be able to move your mouse

Yeah I cant use ultra settings as the shadows are far too intense and I cant see unless I use filters. My PC is more than capable of running at ultra but I use low so I dont have to use filters due to heavy shadows

this is a PC game originally, and most games allow filters. Just because you're not happy with something on console, doesn't mean that most of the player base which are using PC have to suffer.

Filters help with visibility only. Some might have low end PCs, or low end monitors, they might have issues with their sight

And if you would like filters on console, take it up to the companies - Sony and Microsoft

It was stated that is not a bannable offense and, excuse me but using game filters doesn't give you an advantage because you still can see the player... if someone is hiding well, i.e. Claudette in a bush, then you won't see it, no matter how many filters you're using.

Its a feature that comes with the video card. It's not an illegal program and if its available it's allowed.

Consoles are closed platforms. What this means is that its complicated for developers to add certain features, even troubleshooting technical issues can be a problem and a complicated process. Everything that happens on console needs to go through Sony or Microsoft respectfully.

If you have issues with your console, even connection issues, you need to take it up with either Microsoft or Sony. This is not the same for PC. PC is the opposite, in this case the game support team can send me troubleshooting for my connection issue or my lag, or my technical issue. I don't need to contact my video card manufacturer.

If you want filters on console, you do need to take it up with the company that makes your console.

PC and console are incomparable in these regards

>game developers can disable this feature if they want to.

well thats the point, they should.

Only thing the filters do for me is to make the game prettier. I dont get any advantage from them.

I use them to brighten my game since i play on ultra and the game is way too dark on some maps to even play. I also use colors to make the game little bit more nicer looking for me instead of the normal gloomy colors.

I've noticed lately the filters do make my game lag quite a bit and now i cant access the filters since my mouse stops working but i figured out how to access them them.

Behaviour if you dont want people to use NVIDIA filters stop making the maps so bloody dark you cant see infront of you. please :) Also put some color into it!

Yeah i brighten the game. Again it doesnt brighten the dredges nightfall at all so no advantage there. It doesnt brighten the pitch dark house in garden of pain map, no advantage there. Only thing i get is prettier looking map and little bit lighter look to it. It doesnt give me any other help but to see where im running on the map. The dark places are still dark.

I would get this same result putting my graphics on low, but now i can have the same brightness and have my graphics on ultra and actually see some details.

I'm sorry i have NVIDIA i guess and i can use this to make my game look nicer.

You can adjust your monitor/tv settings you know? That's what I used to do for Docked mode on Switch

Thanks and then change it back everytime I watch netflix or play other game. Every other game even before you get to see a menu lets you adjust brightness, HDR and other stuff like that, but not DBD. But hey, you can use filters to see anything that can't be seen. Dark? No problem, filter applied.

I play mostly survivor now and I use filters.

The maps are way to hard to see the killer, the survivor, the generator, the flower in the corner, the walls, the rock, the plant that's not passable and the one that is. It's not about killers, it's about everything else.

No, still works. But why would they?

it doesn't work for me, the overlay simply won't open. It's like it's not installed.

I'll run a reinstall for my graphics to see it changes anything

thanks anyway

The horror element will be gone regardless after a max. of 30h of gameplay. Then the killer is just the obstacle hindering you from escaping

You are not wrong. Lighting was always a wonky balancing factor due to different screens, equipment, situation at home, eyesight etc.

Watch some streamers in the main building of Garden of Joy and compare that to your own experience. Why are some players subjected to this while others have the light switched on? With base settings that map is way too dark.

Dude, I still sometimes get jump scared and spooked, but the killer is no longer the big bad scary slashermovie killer to me, but, well, the killer. He hunts you, you loop him, throw a palette in his face and eventually go down. But it's a far cry of how stressed out I was when I started and even the shifting sound of the gen would scare me.

Err, no. I've my monitor nicely calibrated for everything I use my PC for (work, casual, gaming, social, etc).

DBD is literally the only app that requires color/clarity correction. I'm not messing with my monitor every time I want to play, and then have to switch it back.

I've no idea how the devs calibrated their displays but the comments saying that they're way too dark, there's too little contrast, etc, are far too wide and numerous to suggest this problem is with the community and not how DBD manage the colour palette.

Even though you cannot use Nvidia filters you have the option of buying a monitor that includes built-in display adjustment options. Aorus has a good selection. They include remote controls for easy display mode changes.

so in order to match pc 3rd party software i got to get a new display?)
