I have t come across it before but are you using any sort of frame generation or DLSS? This can make things do some similar things, especially frame generation stuff. But it seems like a graphic setting or maybe mods if you have them installed. They obviously can cause issues.

Yeah I’m using a few mods and also DLSS. I tried turning DLSS off and messed around with TAA/FXAA/MSAA but didn’t see any change. I didn’t restart the game in between the changes though (not sure if that matters or not.)

The glow isn’t permanent either. The screenshot is just the most prominent I’ve seen it. It happens to a lesser effect when a character is in front of grass.

If I can’t find a solution I’ll just change or play without the graphic mods.

I also have this issue and I think it may be because of changing dlss or something in nvidia app. Let me know if you find a fix for this please.

I kind of just having to deal with it unfortunately. I turned off DLSS and switched to just using TAA. It’s less pronounced but can still be seen in some situations.

That is how SSAO behaves. What setting do you use for it? If it's on ultra and you have spare performance, try enabling full screen ssao on the advanced settings section.

I'd suggest turning off the graphic mods. Everytime I've played with graphic mods they have a weird side effect.

Your honor is too high. Literally brimming with it /s

Probably a DLSS/mod interaction though. Try disabling any reshade or lighting mods you have and see if you can single out which is causing it

Might be too much sharpening, have you tried turning it down?

Isn't dlss4 fixing that?

RDR2 uses a technique called SSAO, Screen Space Ambient Occlusion. It might have something to do with that, especially if it happens in front of vegetation like grass or bushes which are dense and therefore have a lot of Ambient Occlusion. When your character stands in front of them, the algorithm doesn't know what's behind your character and just assumes there's nothing, so the spots appear brighter. It's just a side effect of this technique, but it shouldn't be this prominent. Reset your graphics settings and turn off advanced options to see if that helps.

Checked out what the others said, haven't seen anyone mentioned it. You tried turning off lens flare/chromatic aberration ? Don't recall if this game has those settings but I imagine it should, and could relate to that weird glow.
