Not sure if you're meaning how to get rid of the colored halo - if so, drop the tab tab slider Lens Flare Intensity to zero.

Cheers.

@OldFlak. Doubt it. Is it even considered a bug? More an old fashioned technique that has never been updated since release

Yeah, sadly probably not.

But I have never seen a flash light in RL act like the one in GG:

so I just hope it is seen as a bug.

In settings.fx we can lower the lens flare intensity and adjust the maxflashlight.
I don't know if it is still a requirement to have 'pbroverride=0' in the setup.ini in order to make changes to the settings in the fx file.
You have to recompile i believe by setting forceloadgameshaders=1 in the setup.ini and when changes are done, set it back to =0

There is a little problem which i've spotted while testing, the flashlight seems to only properly illuminate at the sunside.
But apart from that, i think the flashlight works ok, this object has metalness from black to white.

Yeah, Looks ok in that pic for sure

I have heavily lowered the PBR settings in FX in order to get lighter coloured metals to look ok in current PBR setup - they get total washout with default settings using light colours.

I have also lowered the lens flare in settings FX , and lense flare in tabtab is only 8. But in all my tests thus far, the flashlight is not at all good on light coloured metallic surfaces.

I may have a play with the flashlight settings in FX and see how it looks, but will most likely disable it for this level.
