Game launches in Window and screen brightness for entire PC changes

[salimoneus]

I had this issue, and if EQ crashed/froze for whatever reason (sometimes caused by screen saver/sleep) my PC would be stuck with the gamma set by the game, until rebooting.

I solved that by exiting EQ, editing the eqclient.ini and changing the following value:

Gamma=5

It may also be able to be set from the Display options in the in-game settings but I'm not entirely sure. You may also require a slightly different value. It may also cause the game to be darker in general than it would otherwise be. But at least it doesn't mess with my PC's gamma any longer.
