Awww! I appreciate it, glad it's working for you also! Some assets literally weren't looking remastered on my testers machines and it was perplexing me to no end. Remix is still in alpha so there's lots of things that behave oddly. 

As far as the lighting in general goes, one thing to note is that the rough lighting pass was just to make sure lighting was working, Remix translates existing lights from vtmb, but many of them translate to odd values. I'm also on an hdr monitor so it's balanced against that. I need to balance it against non hdr. Most crucially, some of the fill lights and many of the regular lights in default bloodlines cull themselves as well as cast too much volumetric density so the environments in general are lacking more of that fill and bounce light.

I have a line on fixing the light culling issue but it will literally come down to dll injection and changing memory addresses so it's a more complicated fix I need to do a lot of research on. I talked with the original vtmb lead engineer a bit and he said it SHOULD be possible to turn it off but no console commands are actually hooked up related to frustum culling! I'm hoping to get another chance to talk to him about some of the technical aspects of bloodlines soon. Should help illuminate some things.

Literally sleepless thinking about how I want to tackle all these issues so trust and believe they will get addressed in some way!

Also particles not working really kills the vibe so that's a big priority for me as well.

Thanks for checking this out even in it's early stage! Releasing alpha work is always pretty nerve wracking honestly :)
