Overview
Are you tired of your game looking like too bright on parts of Half life 2? Type this in the console and everything should go back to normal, more or less
Console commands
Note: To the two people that have no idea how to enable the console, just go into options > keyboard > advanced > enable developer console. Then press the ~ by default and it should open up
Type in this in order:
mat_dxlevel 90
mat_hdr_level 2
mat_hdr_enabled
mat_fullbright 0
Or just all in one line: mat_dxlevel90; mat_hdr_level 2; mat_hdr_enabled; mat_fullbright 0
Keep in mind that this solution won’t work for everyone, but you’ll know if it worked when the lighting is no longer burning your eyes. Props may still look bright but picking them up should make the original lighting return
