darkness/lightness changing on connect

Stop posting screenshots people - they look fine to anyone who doesn't currently have the game program going.

You can't capture the gamma issues in a screenshot.

The only way that I know of to capture the actual gamma problem in a picture is to take a picture of your monitor using a digital camera/cellphone. Even then, the phone automatically tries to adjust the darkness and appears slightly brighter than it really is.

I took a bunch of pictures of the gamma changes on my computer. I adjusted my camera settings as much as I could to get the pictures to look as close to reality as possible - they are a tiny bit out of focus to combat the horrible scanlines ( or whatever you wanna call them ).

Here is 100% gamma, no buffs or lightsources of any kind

Thank you Haynar.

Any ETA on when this update will go in H?

I personally don't mind, i played before at around 26% gamma so it's mot much of a change - I do like how cool the lighting effects look when it's darker, and lightsources / vision spells / races that see better at night seem like a relevant thing now ( which would be classic...right? ) it is unfortunate that it makes the UI darker and anything else your doing on your computer... at the very least I appreciate the thought and effort!
