While I know classic was known for being dark, I do recall being able to crank my gamma up to see. Tradeoff was that everything was washed out and looked milky, but you could see in the dark. With this change, cranking the gamma brings it up to a "normal" level. I realize it's trying to emulate classic but I think this "fix" is kind of crude and not really representative of how classic gamma actually behaved, at least by my memory.

this is what my VLC looks like now, just like EQ with basically anything that is dark colored is unreconizable.

Game was super dark for me as well, Ultravision didn't give me that normal blue glow to see better. It acted like it made the entire place normal pre patch look. Sometimes gamma bugs out if you DC or force close EQ, and you have to open EQ to fix the gamma again and either leave it open or restart your computer. I use my video card AMD tool to force fix gamma, and I am able to crank it up so its almost back to normal pre patch but I don't think everyone can do this or knows how.

So I have a different issue, namely the sky appears to be missing in some zones

In game all that white is black. It's 9am in that shot. PoG is dark as hell and wasnt two days ago. WL is the same.

Also my UI is not that bright. This looks like I washed it out, but its a straight screenshot.

Did you try disabling or enabling sky/sky art?
