Simple poll, do you like the Bloom effect in the mod?
Personally no, I almost always turn it off since I can't recall which .dns I need to delete... I hated it before I learned I could turn it off in the Tau's, I almost went blind. :wacko:
Yourself?

I think it's fine, but in bright systems like Omega-49, it becomes almost impossible to see stuff. I usually just leave it off.

It make gameplay better for me. I don't like playing with it off.

What does Bloom even do? I always leave it off.

Light sources become more bright, can be pretty in the right places, but too much degrades the experience to me.

Voted "I don't care" since I am playing on lowest settings all the time anyway. Though, Bloom is something nice if you like it. I would have voted yes in case I would have a better PC.:D

I don't notice a difference between on and off. I have it turned on....I think. When I press fnF12 (without FN it turns my WLAN off >.> because HP is weird) nothing happens

on all the time.
computer can handle it fine and it looks good most of the time.
BUT it could use some tweaking.
in 4.85 i used a modded one which was much prettier.
sadly i cant find it anymore.

' Wrote:What does Bloom even do?The best way I can describe the effect is it is kind of like anti-aliasing for light sources. Instead of having a hard light source, the lighting is diffused and spread out across all the surfaces. The background is less pixelated, clouds are softer, asteroids are less jaggy, etc., because everything is a little bit of reflected light and more diffused. One downside is clouds glow a little because of it, and if there is a heavy light source they will glow really bright, so a couple of systems are blindingly bright.
You can wiki for the real definition, that is how I see the effect.

Shift + F9 to invert bloom, for systems such as Tau-37 and Omega-49. Instead of making bright areas brighter, it makes dark areas darker.
Shift + F12 to deactivate bloom in-game. This toggle only works if you installed Bloom during installation.

On topic: I use the Bloom mod all the time, except for systems like Tau-37/Omega-49, when I invert it.
