Schrullenhaft Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Then you'll need to apply changes on your monitor itself. CM doesn't take the values set by the video card drivers (even if they're supposed to affect DirectX). If Alt-G doesn't help, then only physical adjustments to the monitor itself (the monitor's controls) will help. I know of no utility or control panel applet on the PC that will change CM's brightness outside of the Alt-G command within CM. Sometimes, though I'm not sure in CM's case, different versions of video drivers may affect the gamma. I know quite awhile back (v.3 - v. 6 Detonators) NVidia changed the default gamma in their drivers (and possibly their Video BIOS's, but I'm not sure). So it is possible that certain video drivers may have different gammas, but I don't think that NVidia has changed the default gamma in quite awhile.

Ex Bellator Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Other people including me have had problems with CMBB's gamma even at max setting so you're not alone. I use Powerstrip which I run in the background, and amongst it's abilities is the option to crank up the gamma in any program at any time by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Keypad +. Works like a dream with CMBB. There is a link to the shareware version at the bottom of this site. If you don't mind a bit more clutter running in the background, then this application should solve any gamma problems you have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
