After doing this I don't see much, if any, change in darkness to other OS things

Thanks, definite improvement. Running EQ still darkens everything, but not to the same extent. It's more useable now, but still an intrusive implementation, imo.

Zone that had skies before patch but don't now and are permanent dark -

Plane of Growth
Wakening Lands
Cobalt Scar

Possibly missing - Plane of Mischief. Looking at Alla screenshots the sky is dark grey, but mine is the same pitch black.

All screenshot I take in these zones have the same BRIGHT white sky/tinting that my previous screenshot did. In game Black, in screens white.
Other zones are fine. I have tried every combo of sky on/off/layering I could think of.

My video card is shite. I play on an old laptop. It's an Intel HD Graphics card. Windows 7

Haynar you have outdone yourself - this is worse than the 1% spell resist patch in it's unclassic implementation. Whatever you did, it destroys the gamma on entire computers, not just EQ.

I noticed that the titanium client's built-in ultravision is still present, so I don't really see how this patch makes vision spells any more useful. I still get the titanium auto-ultravision that kicks in 30-40 seconds after logging in, which makes all the geometry of the landscape blueish. It's just like 80% darker now.

I like the intent behind this change but definitely think it needs some re-tooling before it's implemented. Please revert.

I don't care so much that it fucks with EQs gamma. If you want us to play blind, that's your prerogative. But the fact that my comp's gamma is fucked while playing EQ (read: can't see shit even when tabbed out, Captain) really pisses me off.

Fix it, please.

Was it an improvement?

What kind of system do you use? laptop, desktop?

[derpcake]

Way dark even with gamma at max.

Rest of comp fine.

Great Divide is now Fubar as well.

Funny thing here is the screenshot is dark until I upload it to imgur, at which point it became blinding.

I would really like this to turn out to be a user error at this point. :|
