When I turn Frame-Buffer Effects ON, my game looks like in this screenshot:

When I turn Frame-Buffer Effects OFF, my game becomes quite dark:
http://img41.imagesh...9110716542.jpg/

It might not look very dark in 2nd screenshot but believe me sometimes the game looks VERY dark. One more example when Frame-Buffer Effects are OFF: http://img121.images...emogant651.jpg/ .

I don't want to use Frame-Buffer Effects because my FPS drops quite a lot (from 50 w/o FBE to ~25 w/ FBE) but the game looks too dark and I don't know how to make it brighter. I have checked dragonage.ini file where settings are but it only has "EnableFrameBufferEffects=0"...

I use Nvidia GT 240M. Maybe I can set something in NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL? Or maybe there is some official/unofficial patch which would expand options so you can control more things (not just texture/graphics details, vsync, frame-buffer effects on/off and AA settings)?

P.S. Does anyone else has the same problem?

P.P.S. Since I use notebook, there aren't any new official video drivers for my graphics card but I have downloaded newest drivers from laptopvideo2go.com today.

If you're not playing in a window then just simply goto video options and increase your gamma.

I have already tried this but it changes not just game world's brightness but also UI brightness and I just want that game world wouldn't be so dark without Frame-Buffer Effects.

Looks like HDR/Bloom/Dynamic lighting is being completely turned off when you disable Frame Buffer effects, which makes sense. I'd agree, more granularity controlling the post processing effects would be great, I'd love to turn off the Depth of Blur without losing all the lighting effects, but it doesn't look like that's possible currently.

I thought that there might be a lot of various effect under one name ("Frame-Buffer Effects") and you have to use them all at maximum options or none at all. Also Depth of Field for me looks quite ugly. It might be related to the fact that I use just 2x AA (same fps drop problem if I use more).

What's more, I tried to change values for these options which can be found in DragonAge.ini (settings) file but it didn't affect brightness.
UseTrilinearFiltering=[0/1]
UseTripleBuffering=[0/1]
DisableMRT=[0/1]
DisableAspectRatioCorrection=[0/1]
AnisotropicFilteringLevel=[0-16]
ForceLowSettings=[0/1]

Hopefully, BioWare releases a patch to enable more options which can be adjusted and/or tuned off/on.

You should stay outta the ini when you are so woefully ignorent of what the things you were changing even do.

I understand one all these options mean but DisableMRT. I was just desperately trying to make game look better by not changing Gamma and with Frame-Buffer Effects OFF. :/

Why should he stay out of it, it is easy to just delete the .ini and upon next load of game it *should* make a new one unless there is poor and or lack of code somewhere which stops this.



We own PC's so we can adjust settings tailored to our needs not to sit there and ponder if we are too ignorant or not, if we all had this logic we would never learn..
