Hello all, TL;DR: I have an ENB and my day time is stupid dark. Messing with ingame sliders or .ini files does absolutely nothing. Long version: First off I've recently started using ENBs. Like within the past week. I used Mistveil first and it was quite lovely. Then I saw Insomnia. totes up my alley. I fully uninstalled the Mistveil before installing Insomnia. I followed the instructions exactly. Downloaded required mods, fixed the load order, changed the two .ini files... Started up my game and it was gorgeous, albeit a bit too dark. But it was nighttime. So whatever. Waited until it was noon the next day and clear skies (I found this out by using shift+f12 to disable the ENB)... and I got this. I mean I was expecting that sort of effect at like.. dawn or dusk. With overcast. But not midday with clear skies. So.. I used the ctrl+shift ENB menu thing to mess with the shaders and effects. I pretty much tried high and low values for every light related effect with "curve", "contrast", "shadows", "dark" etc. Also general/daytime ambient light levels. At first I thought I was just picking the wrong ones.. but I tried switching a few to really really different variables (moving a slider from 0.25 to 5.00) and still saw no change. I then tried the enbseries.ini. Nadda. I downloaded the Imaginator in hopes of being able to change something. I had some weird glitch with that, got the MCM menu mod for that, yadda yadda moved some sliders and nothing happened. I uninstalled that, tried the ENB Customizer thing. Nadda. Oh and I reset all of the values back to their originals before trying to change a different setting. Just so I would know which one did what (in this case-they all do nothing) I have tried both the Wrapper and Injector versions of ENB Series, and made the appropriate changes to my ENB preset things when necessary. I could rarely get the Injector to work.. but when I did it was the same dark crap I've been getting with the Wrapper. I got rid of all Injector things and went back to the Wrapper just for the fact that it started up reliably. I started with the Mistveil ENB, no additional mods were required. It looked great. I then switched to Insomnia (Default package). I had to install the core files for Enhanced Lights and FX, Dramatic Clouds, and Revamped Exterior Fog. I also installed the Mindflux Particle Patch at recommendation on the Insomnia page. Loaded it up and you know the rest. At some point I uninstalled Insomnia and tried out Unreal Cinema ENB, to test whether it was an Insomnia related setting or not. I had the same issue in Unreal Cinema. Although I could actually see a few details on my character's face and the sky wasn't blinding white.. it was still awful. I completely uninstalled that and have tried out the Insomnia Quality package. No change in visuals from the Default package. Computer spec stuff: (let me know if I should add some other thing)

Monitor Name: Generic PnP MonitorMod list is attached. I didn't want to spam any more than I already have. I'm not very very knowledgeable on this stuff.. but if someone can at least figure out what sort of issue it is, that would be awesome. And I guess there are two issues.. one being that nothing I do modifies the light levels in game and the other being that it's really f***ing dark. Thanks!
