    More vibrant colour in STEAM version?

    Hi folks...

    I have just done a complete re-install of CLOD on my PC...Just a spring clean really...Got it running well after a few usual tweaks which I expected...So all good...and loving the new screenshots in there too by the way...

    Just a question...The colours in the version that is now available from STEAM seem to be more vibrant...the game looks lovely...I just wondered if that version has been tweaked?...It could have just been my old setup as I had been playing around with REShade and stuff and not sure if I uninstalled it properly...and obviously I haven't been able to see each version side by side...so may just be my dodgey eyesight...

    ...Lew...

    So you finally switched on your monitor? No wonder you had problems spotting contacts before

    Re: More vibrant colour in STEAM version?

    Hi mate i spent a long time arsing about with reshade and my tv settings 43inch screen. I got it looking spot on with nice colours and can spot contacts a good distance out.
    The funny thing is a lot of people i know just have minimal reshade settings on whilst i experimented with mine and have a lot enabled at least 7 off the top of my head and i find it a lot better with more on. Each to their own i suppose. Just thought i would throw this out there . The best thing to do is spent some time looking at various settings on reshade on your screen it takes a while but is worth it in the end

    More vibrant colour in STEAM version?

    Make sure 'full' colour is enabled in your nvidia 'change resolution ' output dynamic range option. Deeper black and more vibrant colours.

    Re: More vibrant colour in STEAM version?

    Ok...I'll give Reshade another whirl...I only would like a slight vibrance and contrast tweak I think...and I seem to remember uninstalling it as I couldn't spot contacts...I may have encountered some crashes with it too (I can't remember)

    @Mindy...I'll look into those setting too..That sounds like a better option as its not Reshade...

    Thanks for the info bros...~S~

    Haha...excellent....I just adjusted the vibrancy and contrast in my Nvidia Control panel...and it works great...Instantly...no downloading and installing Reshade...How come nobody told me this before...lol...took me 30 seconds..

    I did have to go into 'Adjust desktop colour settings'...I didn't need to go into 'Change resolution'...the option was just below that...I can knock it back for anything else...

    A little tweak on the digital vibrancy (like 1 or 2 notches) really brings Yellow noses out at a distance for me.

    But having just found out my screen has backlighting after 6 years has made something of a different too!

    The only option I see there is "Limited" color. How would I change it to "Full?

    Check the button to allow nvidia card to manage colours then you can select the 'full' option

    Got it in "video color settings", rather than "change resolution".

    Re: More vibrant colour in STEAM version?

    This is what I played with...Lots to tweak in there...and you can set it back when not ingame...I had problems with ReShade crashing as I had other programs all working at the same time (ie. MacroGamer, OBS, TeamSpeak)...Something was crashing my game or a conflict somewhere was do it it...This way there's no conflicts...I don't know why I never thought of this before...

    I had never bothered to go into Nvidia settings for this....the only problem is that it obviously won't show in your videos for other folks...

    I wasn't sharing that screenshot to show my settings as such...They will be different for different PC's and monitors anyway....Just was to show the actual page of the Nvidia Control Panel as some folks aren't finding it...

    I think I've now found a setting that works for my desktop and vids AND CLOD so I don't have to tweak anything now...
