screen brightness


(jmsnclr) #1

No matter how i adjust my screen brightness the maps are too dark. I run into a room with little light and for me it’s complete blackness. It’s really annoying. I’ve treid adjusting the game and the computer res but it doesn’t take. when I adjust ingame, the brightness is there but only for a fraction of a second then it goes right back to being dark. when i try it on the computer side I get a “correction” message from the game and it goes back to being too dark. ANY ideas would be appreciated. (seta r_gamma “x.000000”)has been tried.
Thanks

I have binded r_gamma 1, 2 and 3. I usually use 2, but in the hardest spots I might consider using 3. One note. When I do use etmin to minimize, it goes dark even when the gamma is set to 3.

So to come over to the solution, the reason for the bindings: as it gets dark I quickly just press gamma 3 and then back to 2. Or what ever are the values you use. This happens to me only if I minimize or get a popup or something. So if you do use gamma 2 and get dark, just set gamma something other than 2 and then set it back to 2.
