Crysis 2 has the VERY SAME ISSUE!
My GAWD you'd think a so called PC developer house would eventually learn about the small things like a Brightness slider that actually works? A FoV you can actually set higher than 80? Someone time machine me back to the 90's when PC dev's actually listened, and knew how to make pc games!

Gtx680 with newest(314.07's)drivers and i'm forced to crank my panels brightness up in order to play your games Crytek! I'd say it was my own issue but NO other games on my list have this issue.

Crysis 1, 2 and now 3, that's it!

FIX IT!

Well if it bright those night levels would just be too easy wouldn't they.

Disable color grading using the CVar configurator. Are you folks even using this utility? It's kinda a must have tbh to set the game visuals to your liking.
