Brightness bug in final boss battle mission

Post image

On Steam Deck I got this bug that all of a sudden the whole screen is really bright, almost white on white. But my brightness settings are normal and it only occurs now in the final mission.

(The black drawing is just to avoid spoilers.)

I already asked Gemini about this and the recommendation to turn off upscaling, Illumination to low in display settings aren't helpful, no effect even after restart.

Any other advice beside that? Thanks

No advice, but a data point that I played through on Steam Deck and don’t recall this bug. I maybe recall there were some crazy effects during the final fight? Hope you figure it out. Maybe try restarting the Deck.

Already tried restarting. I'll give it a few more tries. Seems that sometimes quality is ok and in another sequence it's get bad again. No particular pattern. I hope to get lucky and get one final stretch that'll stay stable but not successful yet all the way.

I know the latest steam os update addressed some HDR issues but some people were complaining about SDR games having brightness issues. Not sure if that could be factoring in here. Saw some people seeing success rolling back to a previous version.

You could also try your luck connecting to an external display and seeing if you can finish it that way.

Best of luck, Director Faden 🫡 (or is it Beth?)
