darkness/lightness changing on connect

[Trax]

Adjusting the racial night vision is one thing, but destroying gamma for EVERYTHING is another. You've disabled the ability for most people to clearly see their user interface. A majority of your players use windowed mode, and now windows is completely dark as well. P99's client has taken full control of the gamma settings which is absurd.

Several temporary fixes have been found but it's merely a band-aid for an issue that shouldn't even exist in the first place. You want classic EQ then let people actually see what they're doing. Yes, people were "blind" in classic EQ, and made traveling at night difficult for some races but they were at least able to see their hot buttons and interface.

Either fix this problem, or remove your gamma adjustment entirely and revert it back to the way it was prior to this patch. For me, and many others this falls under the category of completely unplayable.

This is extremely close to how I play with f.lux

Honestly, f.lux isn't super bright at all - on my human bard I had to buy a froglok crown to see in dark tunnels.

I've been fully immersed in the darkness for years now, ya'll playing eq on the surface of the sun or something

when I disable f.lux (completely close it out and restart eq) it's extremely dark - I use the same UI nilbog, and mine is hardly readable since the UI becomes so dark as well as the game.

edit: also noticed no light sources seem to be working?

This is my video for light sources:

At this point I'm really interested if people are seeing things differently than I am.

I'm definitely seeing stuff different than you. No matter what kind of character I make and regardless of light source and vision buffs, my client still looks like Trax's. Whats weird is my UI is much darker. I notice because I picked Vert Pepto as a UI because its easy to see. Its no longer bright pepto bismol colored and instead it has a shitty brown hue now that ruins it.

f.lux also fixes the problem for me, although it's still super annoying to have to adjust f.lux to the brightest possible setting in order to have EQ look relatively normal, since I normally use f.lux when I'm not playing EQ to dim the brightness of my monitor.

I will give you a bloomin onion and a double down to tell me how to see again.

Okay, apparently streaming doesn't capture gamma. I will take a picture with my phone with in game gamma, and using the nvidia override.

Video/Screenshots won't work for other people. I posted a screenshot of my nearly pitch black screen in ThurgA:

but then rebooted my PC, and that^ screenshot suddenly looked perfectly fine.. But when I load EQ, its back to pitch black to where I cant even see the color of my or other peoples armor in both ThurgA and Skyshrine.
