Specular maps are just too offset in DDo error

VisceralD

So I was using DDo with great results, so I made a file and it looked great, but I could never recreate that again. Using the exact same settings and maps. Something is just off with the specularity of it. See below

Before(good results)

After(bad results)

My setting are very simple I used legacy preset white warn weapon, then added a metallic rust. Yet now the results are terrible in the previewer it is just too bright, and when I export things its too dark. I already tried reinstalling DDo 3 times and every time the results are terrible, What could it be?

Maybe you changed the exposure setting in the previewer? The background looks a lot brighter too.

nope not that, because the specular maps actually come out darker.

Ok figured it out, Surprisingly it was my cavity map, it was what screwed everything up.
