i might have put the wrong thing in the first thread.

But you know what i mean.night time then dawn then daytime?

whats happend to the dawn?
it kinda sucks when i min it`s night time then stright to daytime without the dawn some how it just dont seem right now.
plz i would love to fix it.

btw and why has it been taken out by the patches.
thanks for any help.

hey 20 views and no reply is not uncommon.

but you're right, on my PC the 'red' dawn effect has dissapeared as well, suddenly it's night and then it's day again without that nice transition

I don't even remeber the red dawn. Perhaps it's location based (i.e. only in Aleroth)?

thats funny because before the patch i never had "red dawn", but after i did <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Sorry, but I don't even understand what you mean !

(Having a lot of "hits" with no replies is imho a good sign for a) people not understanding the matter , b) understanding it, but not having an solution , c) understanding it, knowing an solution, but thinking "someone will post it anyway".)

You are right. The dawn is gone...

When the game changes from night to day, there is a pleasent red glow to signify dawn. Perhaps you've never had it happen due to the same bug we're all finding.

I'm playing with the German version and I even did not know that there might be a dawn effect.... I never saw something like that.

it was nice. too bad Larian hasn't responded to this yet

Bump.

plz lar can you respond to this thread?

i would love to have it fixed as i kinda like the dawn effect.

Thanks for your help.

Yep - no transition effect anymore - instant on and off for day and night. Not a really serious problem tho - imho.

I know it`s not a serious problem,but i still would like it back the way it was.

the game just dont seem right now it`s missing.

prob just a simple command in your config.lcl.

hope lynn or lar can help to find the prob so we can have it back:-)

I never played the unpatched version, but i did think it was kind of cheap that there was no daytime/nightime transitioning. It would be nice if they found a way to make it so there is again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Yes, with the patch 1.32 i had the effect of the dawn/sunset, now with the patch 1.34 have disappeared...

yes if it was taken away i would like it back <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

it must be some kind of bug, because i never had the effect till after i did all the updates first i re installed the game and installed each patch in order started a new game and there it was <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Nevemind missed that you knew about spotch problem line <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> did you recheck that line to make sure patch didn't overwrite?

Content removed....

well, I just upgraded to the latest 1.34 release and my sunrise and sundown effects are gone too. Before I had this nice pink but now it is all sudden pitch black ... this looks very strange.

is there anyone out there that HAS the effect after the update, besides me? Never had it before, but do now.........and i like it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

I think i still have. I only noticed it until now. I think i had it al along but never payed attention to it. Till now.

what i do know is that in the early weeks The Larians decided to eliminate the "composition" (spelling) between night and day. because there were alot of sprotch problems. the screen would saturate with color thingies making it not nice to see. there for the orange colors in the sky was eliminated with the hotfix early on.

you have have to check on the old forum in "color sprotch" of something

I'm using 1.34 and sometimes when I play I have sunrise/sunset, but other times I don't, just poof, the sun goes and and click, it comes back on.
