darkness/lightness changing on connect

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.

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.

Ah, if "use advanced lighting" is disabled in options then you won't see light sources

fixed that portion

edit: forgot I had this disabled for nro duels due to how absolutely awful it is - a bunch of people sitting around with light sources on a reflective ground makes things awful

The gamma changes to whacky darkness when the loading screen starts between server select and character selection screen...

If it was after character selection screen in game I would be ok with it, but it is not.

Wow that's hard on the eyes. Sun is in the sky and dark elves see like humans with sunglasses on live. Neat. Fingers crossed this gets fixed.

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

The thing about classic infravision was it had nothing to do with the gamma (screen brightness). With classic infravision, everything would be just as dark, but the mobs would stand out, they'd have kind of a reddish hue to them and be just a bit brighter. I'm probably not explaining that well enough, though. If infravision doesn't work like that with this patch though, the darkness is pretty pointless imo.

If it was a sight thing I don't think the interface would be darker... unless...

Do my chars see the interface?? DO THEY KNOW IT"S ALL JUST A GAME??

You cannot capture gamma in game via screenshot/video recording. The gamma will load differently for everyone when trying to show them a screenshot. You have to take a picture of the screen from another device. Cell phone, digital camera, etc.

Guys I'm trying here. I hope this isn't just a difference is my setup versus yours.

Do my submissions seem ok? Or not?
