I can't wait until the day comes when I get to see these patch notes and the subsequent tears. The gamma, while not perfected yet, is a great classic implementation that really reminds you what classic eq was like. Pras.

That's fine as long as they make sure all display ratios are covered for full screen. Right now I actually can't play in full screen because there is not a display ratio that matches my monitor. I would love to be able to play full screen again. But if it were forced I couldn't play until I bought a new monitor.

Gamma didn't affect my PC in the least, Made p99 feel nice and dark(classic), and made all them light sources and vision spells usable.

Literally always had my gamma at 100% back during 99-02, maybe the recent gamma fix was too much? but it seemed about right for me. Did nothing to my computer's gamma idk whats wrong with these others.

The issue is the gamma is broken, such that it's a little darker than Erudite levels at night, but the visions spells do nothing. It's also darker in the day. It's like playing Doom 3 without the flashlight.

I'm in cabilis on red, and none of the NPCs are where they are supposed to be. They are randomly strewn about the zone. Sometimes when you walk by them and click on them they will pop back to where they are suppose to be, but sometimes they don't. The bankers and the shaman spell vendors were MIA.

Wait did they finally fix Donal's BP on live to be not OP?!?!

Every time I zone my screen gets dark and I have to reset my settings... help?

[Bumamgar]

The gamma issue is very bad, but it's easy to fix if you use WinEQ, just turn on 'lock gamma' in the options for Everquest.
