darkness/lightness changing on connect
 

after copying the new files into the EQ directory when i enter the server my game stays really dark, it used to when i connected to the server my game would brighten up to acceptable levels.

I kinda assumed it was my graphics card being funky but with this change it instantly stopped correcting itself.

any idea's?

Having this same issue after copying the new files into EQ directory.

Sounds like Classic UI darkness it looks like went in.

Woot.

Get your night vision spells out.

H

This will take some getting used to! BUT i remember getting totally lost back in the day, and only because of client darkness. Should be good times.

You can change it by going into your gfx card settings but whenever you log or zone you will need to re-apply via the Nvidia panel. The game over-rides.
It might be classic but my PC isnt 15 years old and i kinda like to see things >< Just looks like lumpy dark shapes otherwise.

Tryed with ultra vision and dident help anything it is stil realy dark

I realise its a 15 year old game but being able to run everything at max and actually have a gamma setting to see sharp detail was nice. Going back to crappy dark gfx might be classic but it just makes the game look awful.

screenshot test

this is what I'm seeing (click to enlarge)

Gonna head over to that zone and see for myself. Looks way brighter than my woodelf vision is allowing.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think gamma settings will show through screenshots.
