Brightness and Gamma reset


Antsan

Recommended Posts

Started playing TDM this week and I've got to say it is damn awesome.

Although there is one problem: For me to see anything at all outside of direct torch light in TDM itself I need to set the Gamma and Brightness values relatively high. When I end the game those values are not reset and my desktop is blindingly bright, so every time after closing the game I need to open my settings and readjust the values.

 

I am playing TDM on debian testing and a NVidia GeForce GTS 250. I normally run the game from a terminal and the last line is always a memory access error.

 

If I should be reporting bugs elsewhere I am very sorry and thankful for directions.

 

[Edit]Urgh, I just now saw the support forum. Obviously I am blind.

We were talking about this in a beta test thread as well. I'm also on Nvidia experiencing the same thing. Alt Tab out of the game and gamma/brightness on the desktop are also bright. When I exit the game, my desktop looks fine though and doesn't retain the elevated settings.

 

I don't know if its 2.01 related or Nvidia driver related though users with ATI said they weren't experiencing the issue.

 

Another curious thing was that I can set my Gamma/Brightness high in TDM and it lightens everything up however if I take a Screenshot, the screenshot does not reflect the elevated settings which is odd.

I don't know about 2.0 because 2.01 came out so quickly but in 1.08 when I took screenshots, my gamma/brightness was applied to them. I don't really care that much about gamma/brightness effecting desktop when I alt-tab because when I quit the game it resets back to what it was. Screenshots is the pain... for beta testing I have to lighten every shot individually... urgh.

      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)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
