it makes my other apps dark too and my desktop. what a shitfuck this issue is.

Exactly. I tab over and everything is completely dark. Adjusting gamma for EQ is one thing, but when you start to effect tabbing and general use of windows, it's royally fucked.

Can't test, everything is dark. Please fix this.

I found a temporary work around using the nVidia control panel. However, you have to reset the settings every time you zone. This is class A retarded.

really though...if this was an attempt at vision correction for races... it just makes me shake my head. who the fuck cares about vision correction for races like that should be way way wayyyy down on the list. i thought this whole weekend was help testing for velious so we get it going... fuck this gamma shit its dumb i'm not even logging in until its over or fixed or i guess its all over for me

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.

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

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.
