VFX problem - Zerith-var's skill is WAY too bright, flashes

MoonPile · November 16

Anyone happen to know which skill this is? I'd like to turn it off for now, just pointing it out in case it's also a problem for others & can be addressed eventually.

I just noticed fighting with him out is intolerably bright, it also flashes.

wow that is super bright, another example of why we need Brightness and Flashing sliders for skills

Uhm, that's really odd because I've been using him since he was released and have never seen his VFX that bright....?

Here is a list of skills that Zerith-var can unlock.

From description it look like it could be ultimate skill called Blade of the Crossing.

You cold try to change your displays gamma settings and default colour temperature which is measured in Kelvin.

The bright light on that picture is probably because you have set a colour temperature and gamma a bit too bright combined with background light from [*] "brightness" setting (which can find on both video card apps setting, windows, in game and on displays controls (either physical controls or controlled by software)).

[*]= Most display that aren't OLED based displays need to have small LED to light up in the background for LED crystal to show different colour.

It probably is that, I unlocked his max lvl a while ago but forgot to put the ultimate in until that day.

As for the rest, my display is specifically calibrated for work. In-game I use a very mild ReShade along with gamma settings that are best for screenshots. Everything else looks right, so I'm just not willing to change any of those things for one skill.

Yeah, that would be really nice. And moreover, accessible.

Me too, it must be his Ultimate I had just put in and happened to be in the worst place for it - the contrast of the surrounding darkness made it even worse.

I have his ultimate, but don't recall it looking like that either. I'll have to get in game and check it out though to confirm.
*Yeah, his ultimate doesn't even leave a ground effect.
