Cranking Gamma to fix UI INTERFACE FEATURES + TEXT CHAT was NOT Classic! IDIOT!

Now that I've stated the obvious, this is still giving me a completely darker screen on a global scale, I already provided computer info in previous posts. The ghetto fix involving F.lux still works.

Edit - Thank you for the understanding of the situation, Haynar.
Khanable's still a moran.

Only way to change gamma in classic was to change it on your monitor.

Partially true;

Originally EQ had a gamma correction, which just did some 1/gamma function weird thing (I read an article on it once and didn't care to absorb it fully) that basically didn't work on anything that wasn't using glide. So people using non-3dfx cards had to use desktop gamma to change it.

I'm not convinced once the gamma slider made it in game for everyone that it wouldn't adjust the entire screens gamma. Is it even possible to only adjust gamma on a specific area of the screen?

Does the tutorial from the Kunark disc allow you to change gamma? that'll be an easy way to find out. Lots of you saying it didn't change the UI - I dunno if that's true.

Yeah exactly, maxing my gamma now puts the game slightly darker than it was at 21% gamma prior to this change. That is just not classic.

I don't understand why this change was made when things like this usually require such a high burden of proof to be implemented. Where is the evidence that classic EQ ever looked this way?

Again I support the intent behind this change but it's doing more harm than good in it's current state. Vision spells still don't function at all like they did in classic, the game is just dark as hell now and so is anything else you're doing on your computer.

Posting screens doesn't really show the problem. I don't currently have my client running, thus my system gamma is normal, and that screenshot looks normal. Rest assured, were I to load my sham and go to seb entrance right now, it would not look like that.

VVV Ditto that screen.

I have tried setting my titanium client to full screen but that just crashes the game and fucks up install cannot get the game to laod post using the full screen option in game . I keep a back up clean install for just such bullshit . Replaced buggered copy back to titanium windowed client mode lol Dark as all hell. Pleas revert it back to the way it was... I learned this very important thing in life maybe like to pass on, if it ain't broke don't "fix" it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
