Cant confirm, but would expect the gamma changes to not go out as is.

Just so you know, i appreciate the effort.

gamma thing still there after v35 patch

[S0unreal]

Indeed its still there when patching V35. Ultravision also doesnt improve any clarity of the darkness aswell. It seems that even infrared doesnt give a redish hue to the enviroment. Guess we all have to get used to it

So basically, instead of reverting the gamma change, which you clearly could've done, you just made it so it doesn't go into effect until after display is initialized.

Sigh. This was never broken, and it doesn't need a fix. No one was complaining about gamma before this.

Gamma was not reverted back to it's original state, at all.

A quick fix would be to rename the game as EverDark...

Fixed mine by setting up a profile under the graphic cards control panel just for the EQ.exe. Not a blanket adjustment like some others mentioned and having to adjust the gamma every time you're done playing... yet again... Gotta be smarter than the video card people.

Now my loading screen is super bright! Fix it! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Game is still unplayable. It feels like I am going blind and it is straining my eyes looking at the screen.

You've over-saturated and underexposed the screen. Please revert these gamma settings to their original state. This is not only an inconvenience to your player base, but you waited 4? years to do something like this? It looks horrible, it's not classic at all. Classic didn't have ANY effect on your user-interface and overall screen. It merely effected the environment only. You've since darkened my interface to the point of eye strain, when I tab over into windows it's too dark to do anything. This is true for both my work laptop and my gaming PC.

I would say stick to your guns if this change had any sort truly game related effect, but it doesn't. You can't control the gamma on peoples machines and not expect them to be up in arms about it.

I'll avoid the migraines for now and walk away from p99 until this is fixed. If it's never reverted back to it's original state that's fine, but I am sure I'm not the only one who finds this irritating to the point of avoiding p99 all together.
