Tremulous too dark

[Zordos]

My problem seems to be in Windows 7 (x86), that the graphics start way too dark and cannot be set by options.  I have to drop to compatibility mode and run it within that and set parameters; which I really don't want to do.

Try /r_mapoverbrightbits 5 on console and /vid_restart.
Increase or decrease the number until you get the brightness you want.

Thanks Journeyman, it worked.  The brightness is quite unusual but better than before; at least it is now playable.

Lol. Doesn't work with my crt. It just shines in my eyes.
My best solution is to minimise trem, open trem, r_gamma 3. Done.

Thanks Virus, I will try that one also.  It seems that with the reset explained by Journeyman, it works; however, I need to do it each time, as it resets back to dark, regardless of what I put in the autoconfig.
