Thanks for the work/coding you do devs.
All about being classic, but gamma still changes after server select screen. Loading screen to character select screen is when gamma goes dark. Not even in game yet...

Thanks for the patch devs. However I'm still having issues with gamma (I've been posting in the technical discussion thread all throughout beta).
Tested dark elf ultra, my human with infravision gloves and light-source, along with maxed gamma and flux and it still too dark to be playable. FWIW Haynor the Blackburrow tunnel being completely dark without a torch was how things were pre-patch on my machine. My first day on the server in August I died to the two gnoll guards at the tunnel and had to get a torch to see anything at all. Not sure if I'm in the minority but this is frustrating. The problems seem wide-spread, let me know if screenshots or system specs are helpful. Edit: Added dark-elf SS at PoD from my system: [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

This is completely different. The gamma is being set on the client itself completely ignoring race, items, illumination sources and whatnot. It is dimming the entire screen and everything on it to include inventory, icons, menus, chat. I'm all for classic race bonuses/restrictions as that is what made the choices actually mean something, but this is a bug, an error, an attempt to simulate the lighting that didn't work out. The devs have posted they've realized it and are working on a fix. | |||

I think they rewarded me for beta testing, my ec tunnel toon is wearing a full set of gnome skin armor.

Here's some sanity:
The gamma changes are not affecting every user equally. Some are experiencing an unusable UI with total blackness, and others (such as myself) simply have darkened graphics which are totally usable and readable with none of the glitches seen in screenshots. It's also untrue what some have said that Infravision/Ultra vision have no effect. Again, this seems to vary from setup to setup but on my own machine there is a marked difference between unaided sight and the vision buffs. They're certainly having an effect, if not working as intended. The people that bring us this game are very experienced coders, and I cringe every time someone insinuates these gamma changes were tested on a single machine. These guys aren't so foolish as to roll out a graphical update like this without testing on a few different hardware setups. It's obvious some long-term players are having very negative results from this patch, and it's sad to see for sure. It's my hope the Dev team will do something to fix things for these people. I just want to be on record as a player that has experienced nothing but a darkening; I'm having none of the issues being presented. We may not be as vocal as those experiencing glitches, but we exist.

UI was either the old white square box (so wasnt an issue) or velious UI that used white buttons and old ui inventory. the issue is the custom UI.

Sad to hear so many are having issues. I'm just coming back to P99 again after at least a year away. I grabbed the spell effects project and logged into beta and was extremely happy with what I saw. Classic lighting is huge to me, this effort can't be abandoned!
But I hope all of you guys having issues get it worked out or they provide a fix for you. I know even some DE's are complaining. But i swear.... back in the day my DE carried a beatle eye still cause zones like sol b were still a bit too dark. So many of my brain cells have parrished since then though, I could be mistaken [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||
