Screen display very light after crash


Oldjim

Recommended Posts

When I have a crash on TDM 2.03 I find that the screen display is very light and the only way I can fix it is to log off from Windows 7 and log on again

Is there another way round it as I assume that a change made by TDM isn't reverting to the previous standard setting

Is the gamma affected system-wide, or only in TDM? If the gamma was permanently modified in Windows, find the gamma slider in the Display menu (somewhere in Control Panel) and simply move the slider back and forth once to reset it. I know because I've had many games do this to my system in the past, as well as permanently changing the resolution... on both Windows and Linux! This is typical after a crash, if Windows relies on the engine to tell it when to set the resolution back after a clean exist.

It's an old HWgamma OpenGL problem (really well known, it's related to how an application handles the exclusive fullscreen mode gamma) :P

 

Nostalgia :v

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
