Dear ZOS, can you tone down the strenght of the eye-glow of this mount, its too strong and it actually "hides" the mount from showing its full glory in detail because all you see is the red bright light, thx.

tactx✭✭✭✭✭I had to do a double-take. Yea it's not like that at all for me either. Glad you were able to correct your video settings.“No one's happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.” - John Galt, Atlas Shrugged1 -
Bokila✭✭✭I'm on xbox and i got the same problem. Not sure i can adjust graphical settings but i hope there's something i can do about it.0 -
Ezhh✭✭✭✭✭Would also appreciate a fix for this. I've waited about two years to be able to finally get this mount and I remember reading somewhere that at some point there was a graphics update that caused the eyes to go like this. I'd really like to know what to change to make it look like it should, because the red glow even appears through his back when I am riding.1 -
tonyblack✭✭✭✭✭Idk if it’s any help, but my graphic settings on low, everything on default for that quality and the mount looks the same as on Scara screenshots.0 -

Call_of_Red_Mountain✭✭✭✭I like these eyes. Bright and unique. But not like on your screenshot. Something wrong with your settings.0 -
Saints✭✭Xbox Series X, same issue and this is with HDR disabled.
Would love this to be adjusted, the mount is incredible!0 -

Initial impressions were from a preview, after acquiring the mount a moment later it's actually not as bad on console, although the viewing angle makes a difference and sometimes it's just insanely intense.
Could still benefit from an adjustment, though it's much better than I expected!0 -

✭✭This bug with many light sources started on Stonethorn PTS; it is very old now, and it affects not only eyes of this mount. It also affects different things like bonfires, wayshrines, some non-combat pets (such as Sovngarde pets), Worm Wizard personality, Psijic Portals... I've reported it many times in the past, both in game and in all details on forums:
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/561438/visual-bug-with-some-light-sources-6-months-and-still-not-fixed#latest
Just a few examples from that thread:
How this mount looked before Stonethorn patch went live:
Without any changes on my machine and in my game settings/drivers, this is how it started to look afterwards:
This not only ruined the mount, but ruined atmosphere of the game whenever there is some light souce with this bug. After many months since my first report, the huge red light source inside this mount's head was toned down a little bit, so that when I rotate the camers, it can be possible to at least see the muzzle... So at least somebody tried to fix this mount in particular
Which game setting helped you to fix the eyes of Shadow Rider senche? I would be very grateful to learn it please

I have video showcase of this mount recorded when there was no light bug, but I never posted it on Youtube. If nobody else, I will try to upload it - no guarantee, sadly. Here are few screenshots though:

It makes same sounds as Frostbane Sabre Cat (apex mount from these crates).
At good background, the roar looks much more impressive
Now I would simply wish to enjoy the cute muzzle like I used to

I'm fairly sure it's your post I was remembering.
If anyone finds any graphics setting that brings the old look back please let me know.Idk if it’s any help, but my graphic settings on low, everything on default for that quality and the mount looks the same as on Scara screenshots.
I really hope there's a way to make it look like that without putting settings to low...
One thing I have noticed is how bright the eyes glow depends on how central the mount is on the screen. If it's in the center of my screen where I will usually see it the light from the eyes is overpowering and all detail on the face is lost, but if I play with my camera to have it at the edge of the screen, it looks like right again.Edited by Ezhh on July 15, 2022 11:52PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Hello, I took the FSR mode off also Ambient Occlusion off, I basically turned every feature off until something happened, when I had turned FSR off something looked different, but not quite there yet, and when I turned off Ambient Occlusion it became like the latest picture. For reference I also tried turning everything back on, even FSR etc, and the eyes was not glowing like that again, they looked fine.

Sounds good but i don't think there's any way to do that on console.0 -
ThisOnePosts✭✭✭✭✭This mount is absolutely beautiful... ZOS, please do not lessen it unless you plan on also offering refunds.
This mount does not have many FX like some of the newer ones.. the FX are subtle in number but also strong and the contrast is amazing.... leave it alone. They can improve the textures if anything (on all older mounts really.. and some newer).0 -

I think you don't understand or the mount might look normal to you but man. On my screen there is a giant beam of red light covering the whole face. I CAN'T see the head. It's just a senche with a red globe instead of head.
Please Zos, we need a fix. Alot of people paid money for it.3 -
Zorrin✭✭✭✭✭I noticed that the intensity of the glare also depends on how zoomed in or out you are from it. The further away the camera is, the bigger and more obtrusive the glare. As in Fischblut's post, this (and seeing the glow through the head from the back) is probably due to a general lighting/ambient occlusion issue and not specific to this mount. There is also a third glow in the middle of the head and I think this is the light source that is really intensifying the brightness, but that's just speculation.
Screenshots taken at max settings using Screen Space GI and Bloom turned off.

✭✭Sadly, changing video settings (including Ambient Occlusion) doesn't affect eyes of this mount for me
All those light sources from my examples remain bugged as well, I specially went to check them out too after changing settings 1 -

@Fischblut try setting all video setting on minimum, then setting each option back to where you had it previously one by one, worked for a friend of mine.

I am playing on xbox and there is not much i can do when it comes to graphical changes. I thought zos were fast when it came to fixing crown store items but this thread seems to be ignored.2 -
Bokila✭✭✭Just uploaded a video showing the issue. For some reason it fixed itself for a bit but once i stopped moving with the mount, the problem came back.

Yeah i just zoomed in and i saw the extra light source in the middle of the head. I don't think that's the main reason the head glows like that because the eyes seem to be brighter.
@ZOS_GinaBruno could you please let us know if this will be fixed anytime soon?0
