Screen too bright after closing Tremulous.

[Hendrich]

Hello everyone.

I have been playing the recent game-play build/1.2 beta/whatever and recently when I have exited the game, my screen's brightness went way too high.

I have been searching for a similar question, but none of the solutions I have found worked for me. I tried booting the game up again, exiting, turning down the game's brightness (etc). If I try to turn down my own monitor's brightness, it just looks dark with an upscaled contrast.

This happened to 2 other PCs, the difference is that now I can't seem to fix it. A reboot would work, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a more convenient way. I don't want to reboot every time I exit the game. I am using Vista btw.

Cheers.

Umm, I'm not quite sure what your problem is?  Is it that in game tremulous is too dark, so you turn your monitor brightness up, which causes it to be too bright when you exit tremulous?  If that is your problem, why not just turn it back down after you play tremulous?  If this isn't your question, could you elaborate on your problem a little more?  You could also try changing [wiki=R_gamma]R_gamma[/wiki], but it sounds like you already tried that.

Best of Luck,

I believe I know the problem of which you speak and I have been able to remedy it by opening tremulous and then closing it.

Problem: In tremulous, I turn brightness up to see. When I exit Tremulous, my screen becomes too bright or "locks" into whatever brightness I chose after exiting the game. I tried exiting the game again, changing gamma, messed with my monitor's brightness, etc. Nothing works. Requires reboot. I am asking for possible solutions. Thx.

What graphics card / drivers?
Maybe see if there are newer drivers?

This same problem happens to me if I type in game_restart. Apparently some people managed to fix a similiar problem in Trem 1.1 by running Trem in compatibility (xp) mode and I think maybe with admin privileges.

This happens to me if Tremulous ever freezes and I have to manually end the process through task manager. My fix has always been opening Tremulous, setting the gamma back down to default, and manually end the process again. >_>

Going to desktop properties and messing with brightness there used to fix it in WinXP.
