    No matter how I tweak the engine file, colors are still washed with overblown skies. How can this be fixed? This wasn't the case before I had to reinstall the game. [​IMG]

    That's how the game looks like then. This is what I have as well and it looks not bad.

    This is how the game looks, I do not see anything more washed out then I'm used to see.

    put clouds on 32% usually helps tame the sun.

    On your PC system settings, have you got anything set up to automatically applied HDR to unsupported apps? I don't know too much about PC gaming, but on ps5 and xbox, if auto HDR is on, the game looks washed out a bit

    In Windows you can't activate HDR if you did not have a HDR supported monitor. Windows blocked that option until you plugin a HDR certified monitor :)

    I have to say, it’s difficult to understand what you’re talking about. ‘Washed out’ means de-saturated. What in that image is de-saturated and how is the sky overblown? That’s pretty much exactly what the sky looks like for real. The way the sky looks differs by time of day, season and position of the sun. It’s not deep blue all day every day

    Nothing will change because you’ve re-installed the game btw, it will be exactly the same as it was before.

    My engine.ini has reduced the oversaturation of blue and the greying out of all the shadows visible in your screenshot, so it should be fixable.

    Can you share the lines, that makes shadows less black especially at evening?
    Is there a way to reduce shadows multiplier?
