Classic Darkness bug reports & feedback

My gamma seems off in certain zones like EC and I can’t fade the chat window dark enough and words are hard read.

Some (very) classic info on Toxx forest visibility from April 1999. The guy was using a 16MB Riva TNT (he mentions his setup here: http://web.archive.org/web/200105170...4/machine.html )

Clip range in Toxx forest was quite low and had a yellowish-green tint.

Here is this guy's clip range in Erudin versus in Toxx forest:

Tox Forest has poor visibility even in the daytime due to fog. I can't see anything at night. You can attack with the spell you had first, and then you decide to buy a light spell.

Specifically on the issue of lighting though, and also from that site: Toxx forest had a red tinted lighting in front of the Erudin entrance. It is missing any lighting at all on P99. Can some be added?

You sure that's not the entrance to Paineel?

I've got an Erud wiz sitting in front of the city and the braizers and torches light the area up quite well for me, is why I ask. I don't ever remember Erud being cast in red, but Paineel before it opens was I think.

[Tywulf]

Yep, that's what will become the entry to Paineel. If you go to that page and look, the next screenshot down shows the two skeletal miners that "worked" just inside the tunnel, they were (are?) for a quest turn-in, Useless Cloth Cap or such...

Found the quest. It's old school.

Infravision functions improperly as a high elf. This is compared to the infravision of a half elf of the same level in the same zone.

We swapped hardware and matched settings. This seems to be an issue with the character.

Please adivese.

I'm also having this problem with my wood elf. I've done everything I can but with little success. Help, please! I was really excited to come back but this is completely destroying my desire to play again. I have vision issues IRL and it makes it unplayable.

To anyone with this problem: someone suggested that I might try to toggle Fullscreen under Display in Options. I'd been using Windowed mode and switching to Fullscreen solved this for me. Positive his will not be everyone's solution, but hopefully, it will help at least a few.
