Custom shaders patch sunlight way too bright

[Jovoorthan]

Hi there,

I installed Custom shaders patch via Content Manager, but when it is active, the sun rays are extremely bright. See examples below:

It is not possible to race this way, because I simply can't see where I'm going.

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

I already tried lowering the ingame brightness by pressing Pagedown (eventually I have negative brightness selected), but this doesn't solve the issue really, it makes the darker spots only darker, the light still is too intense.
I also tried lowering the Lightning FX brightness, but this doesn't help either.

Did you lower Lighting to 100%? If you're still struggling I'd suggest asking on the AC Custom Shaders discord group.

Most likely you want to adjust sun_dazzle effect, page 7

Sol config

cspsol.miraheze.org

Check your PP filter lua file, if there are settings for dazzle there, they have precedence over settings in SOL_Config, so you need to edit the file.

Thanks for the help so far.
I cannot find the file you are referring to and did not have the chance yet to ask on discord. Can you help me locate the file?

Or whatever PP profile you use.

Hmm, I found the issue. I was following the manual to install SOL, but only installed the custom shaders patch. The manual only points to a download link of the CSP (which I thought was SOL), I missed that I needed to download SOL from the topic @ racedepartment.
Excuse me for the confusion I might have caused

I did the exact same thing and this explained it for me, thanks for the confusion you caused! lol

I recently noticed the same blinding effect (with CSP but no SOL), I think it has something to do with either the Weather FX or Lighting FX settings.
Turning off sunrays in the AC video menu got rid of it.

lookup the thread of SOL on the forum and press the download button there

I had heavy sunrays shining into my face at night, driving on the ring , I like the effect during the day (although it is maybe a tad exaggerated), but it seems you better turn it off when driving at night as it doesn't seem to disable automatically. Or maybe I overlooked something?

its a bit late for you, but for everybody that reads it :
just lower your Glare Quality in the post-processing tab
under settings\assetto corsa\video
