For most people it worked as intended, for the most part, but for some video cards it was so dark that literally the only thing you could see were the nameplates. I'm really glad that this bug occurred, because even with Ultravision the game was stupidly and unclassicly dark, and they would've kept it like this just because it would've been "more classic" than the way it currently is.
It's a pointless inconvenience anyway - in 1999 all I did was adjust gamma settings to get it to look the way it does today on P99. Similarly, when they implemented the "fix" here, the only "immersive" aspect about it was the inconvenience of having to change gamma settings to get it to look the way it did before. It would've been a pointless detriment to quality of life, almost like: "Well, in 1999 most people had shitty connections, so let's create artificial lag for everyone that connects to the servers!"
