The System Chat color of yellow was so bright it was difficult to read any chat next to it.. I modified the color settings.

The overall appearance of somethings in the games (stone buildings, the roads, and foliage) take on a very odd yellow tint.

The yellow on the map is brighter, the old and worn look is gone.

As already mentioned, I have a high-end 4k screen. The game looked fine yesterday. Now the color is oversaturated and the gamma or shadows (or something like that) is just wrong. I play on max settings, with a 3090 card.

Btw, are there any new graphic settings in U41?

I didn't notice any significant difference in saturation apart from the unbearable new menu screen and probably on the yellow and orange at a sunset in High Isle. But in Summerset I did notice something wrong that appeared to be related with the shadows, but not everywhere.

I really hope they don't change the game. The light and colors in this new menu is kind of scary, but I didn't notice anything as bad as it in the game yet.

I don't mind, too much, the bright orange background, since I don't look at the load screen very long.
But, that is one of the main times to see how your character's face looks, and the lighting makes their faces all dark and craggy.

My login screen had a some reallly bright reflections that actually kind of hurt to look at, particularly on characters with light colored hair.

I lowered gamma a smidge, changed to nvidia dlaa, and used the space gi on ambient occlusion and it looks much, much better. I turned up shadows and subsampling as well, but those are going back to potato next time I am in Cyrodiil lol.

I also fiddled with the contrast on my monitor but I don't think that made much difference.

This is my main issue too. My characters' faces are in so much shadow, their eyes all look like sunken pits.

Looks like everything in the background is on fire. This is a 1080p 40 inch HDTV screenshot. Not going to be critical or ugly here as I have moved past that. Colors are definitely bright and saturated. If there is a way to tone them down that would be great but if not that is ok as well.

Part of the issue is the lighting is all wrong. The sun is clearly behind all the trees and yet the trees are being lit up as if the sun is lighting the face of them. Depth of field actually mutes the colours on the trees and makes them look more realistic ( i don't like playing with DoF though since it doesn't work with where your eyes are looking it just doesn't work.)

Also the character shadow in the second picture is facing the wrong direction again as if the lighting is coming from behind in front of the NPC (in the first pic shadows must be off or something since there are no shadows at all.)

So yah, it's too bright in the wrong way, shadows are in the wrong direction so it all looks a bit weird. I do like the colours, but the scene just needed a bit more attention to the lighting details.

I'll try recalibrating my gamma but I *am* running max settings. I can't remember what graphics card I have but I know it's a Radeon 5000 series, think 5600?
