Dear god, how the hell do you turn of the ridiculous amount of bloom in this game?

[Bootsykk]

...I like roses, too. 8]









...what is bloom? D:

[AdamTaylor]

Bloom is that stupid lighting effect that the 360 was so proud of... and made several of its games pretty much hideous to look at.

It's super over the top lighting... which results in massive over-shiny objects.



Have you ever tried staring into the sun?

Well, bloom lets you get that effect off of every reflective surface in the game.

[Fragglespank]

Orlando Bloom?

[Mariah5]

Just go to options, then choose the brightness screen and tone it down.

Oh.

...Like Shepard's face whenever they had a chat with Kaiden?

I certainly hope there's a way to even it out.

Thanks Bioware, for getting rid of the .ini



In the first game you could disable it via BioEngine.ini, in ME2 they don't have any options.



Game is almost unplayable with it.

Brightness = / = Bloom.

Yeah, unfortunately turning down brightness doesn't stop the bloom.
It's still there, shining away... just looks more... dull... while everything else is downright dark.

Um...how are you playing mass effect 2 a bit under a week before release?

I'm not.

Lot's of people already have it.

Mom & pop stores usually put out games as soon as the stock's in. Even if they're not supposed to.



And I know the local EB Games has had it since last week, cause I was watching the clerk playing it in the backroom.



I could have gotten my copy already... but I have enough stuff I'm still playing, so I can wait.

What are you saying? Sure? Is that supposed to mean something? 

[javierabegazo]

Then don't play the game

Almost unplayable?  Stop being a drama queen, gesh.

Bloom killed Fable II for me, and it is rather bothersome in the Presidium. Bloom just puts this weird and ridiculous light glow around something. The metals and such in Fable II cast a visible haze of light a few scale inches around the metal objects.

I assume you aren't referring to lens flare though, which casts a sort of glare across the screen. That I mostly enjoyed. It is much like Star Trek with the lens flare thing. Pretty cool IMO.

I don't have any real problems with Bloom. Fiddling with my tv settings for a while made it even less of an issue.

[Popstick]

So there wont be a BIOEngine.ini, BIOGame.ini BIOEditor.ini etc? Well that sucks. Editing the BIOEngine.ini file was the only way to fix those botched shadows from the first game before Demurge released the second patch.

I must be the only person in the world who thinks that bloom sometimes looks good. ;_;

Anyway, how do you know that the .ini files are gone?

It can look good. The issue is, it looks good in moderation, but it seems rarely used in moderation. Whenever a game uses it, it seems to pump it into all the metal or objects that are near a light so that far too much in the scene has the bloom effect.

If I am in some cave and there is some hole in the ceiling letting light in to shine on a shield, sure give me some bloom. But If I walk into the Presidium and the leaves of trees are bloom lit...

No. Trees leaves don't blind me in real life. They shouldn't be blooming with bright reflecting glow light.

I never had problems with the bloom in ME1. In fact, I never even noticed it. UT3 bloom on max settings is pretty bad, I'll agree, but ME1? Please...

ME1 bloom was less intense, and you can turn it off via BioEgine.ini

Mass Effect 2 doesn't have a config ini, no joke. Basically no way to turn off bloom or that ugly DoF. Strong consolization here.
