Hey,
I Got A Problem>>>A Serious Problem...
k so as you all know I got vista because Air France said that it is a easier way to make a tremulous server...so i got vista...it F!@#ed up my computer. But I fixed it. But I have 1 problem....tremulous....the screen is dark black...

Ill tell you what I already tried and the results.

I tried:

\r_gamma 2

Result:

SetDeviceGammaRamp failed.

I Tried:

Going to Esc>Options>System>GFX Software>Raising the Brightness to excess

Result:

SetDeviceGammaRamp failed.

All I tried any more ideas?

vista comes with very bad opengl support, install graphics drivers from nvidia/ati/intel/whoever made your graphics card.

Or uninstall Vista.

Vista sux! Uninstall it and install Windows XP.

P.S. If you have problems with Tremulous server on WinXP and you have router look here: http://portforward.com/
