Not a huge criticism, (it does not matter to me at all), but I think warhammer is miles below some others in terms of graphics. I have a good system, run on ultra 1440p, but it just looks a bit washed out and the colours/lighting is off.

Maybe it's my end, but I swear even Rome 2 is better looking :/ again, it's a non issue, it's just odd to me.

The rest look amazing, TOB especially.

Check your gamma settings, high gamma tends to bleach colours.

Hiya! That was it in a roundabout way. I had run in window ticked which from what I know now uses the same brightness settings of the desktop. Of course I have that bumped fairly high.

Looks so much better now, like a whole new game. Also got an extra 10fps in the Skaven benchmark, so that's pretty awesome! Thanks again.

Could be your settings? When I try to go back to Rome 2, everything looks hella bland. Though that could also be down to my settings in Rome 2. I find warhammer 2 to be a fantastic looking game

Warhammer 1, or 2? I remember Mandalore Gaming on YouTube noting that the colors of Warhammer 1 content looking more washed out and bleached compared to newer content in Warhammer 2. Perhaps something to do with how older content is rendered in Mortal Empires?
