hi guys,

 

great new version! but i have one annoying problem: every 2minutes (sometimes even just 30secs) the gamma changes to a very dark picture. if i click at the gamma-bar in the menu and move the value a tiny bit, it gets back to normal.

it doesent matter if im ingame or just in the menu. i played every official version of tdm and i didnt change anything about my system and i never had this problem before.

 

any idea?

- Do you have aligned your gamma in your graphic's card driver? If yes, switch it to 1.

- Do you get the same issues fullscreen/windowed?

- Do you have some sort of injecter like enbseries or sikkmod installed?

- Maybe ppdate your driver... which one do you use and which graphics card?

I don't know how to solve your problem, but here's a temporary (more pleasant) solution.

 

When you have your gamma how you like it, pull down the console (ctrl alt `)

 

 

Now type r_gamma and hit enter to see your current gamma setting. Now pick a key you want to bind and type something like bind g r_gamma 1.x, where 1.x is your preferred gamma. During gameplay, when your gamma gets screwed up, just hit g to set it back.

Maybe gamma resets because you run another executable in 1.08... try to run TDM via the D3 executable. (Unfortunately, I don't know if it is possible in 1.08 because it crashed for me if I try it.)

You're supposed to use thedarkmod.exe. On the subject of exes, what graphics card do you have and what utilities for it are running in the background? Could one of these utilities be resetting your gamma? Does it happen if you play Vanilla Doom 3?

thank you for your ideas, but i use the thedarkmod.exe (was in the readme) and a have a gamma bind in a convenient place.

it's not too bad, i enjoy both new missions but i am working on some video ideas which are impossible to try out :(

caedes: When the gamma resets, could you please open the console and look at r_gamma? Is this value the same that you use, or was it changed?

 

(If r_gamme stays but the screen changes, it is some external program. If r_gamma also changes, that it must be something inside TDM doing the change).

the gamma doesn't change. strange thing is that i have absolutely no graphics-tweak-overclock or whatever program installed. and i have no problem with other games.

and i also reinstalled the game, but the problem stays.

Oh dear. I found this thread with someone having a similiar problem (in Quake3 I believe), and no fix in sight.

 

Since you have an ATI card, maybe this helps:

thank you. i played around with the driver, but it doesn't help. i like to play q3 two or three times a month and there's no problem there.

 

but i will have to reinstall my OS next week, so i hope this will fix it :)

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
