search for new grafic drivers. i am sure the problem will be found there

I haven't change aything to monitor, but I admit I often change gamma and brightness when im switching from bridge to insurgent

I had the same problem. I went into my armyops.ini and found the brightness, gamma, contrast and noticed that they were all set to 7, 7, 1.0. I believe those are the default settings. I changed them to 9, 9, 1.5 and seems to look better. Hope that helps!

Only thing is is that you still cant adjust setting in-game.

Ive loaded BF3, CS, COD and I can adjust my brightness on all of those games. It has to do something with the new update.

its 100% the update.

no.0b, I'm talking in general. I'm not accusing you of unfairly adjusting your settings to gain an advantage. All I'm saying is that often times, that's what they are used for. Nobody should legitimately have to change those settings if their monitor is calibrated. Some people will whine and say "well they're in the game, they must have meant for us to change them!". That's simply untrue. They're there from the engine. There's a few useless menu options in AA as well as left-over code and broken things. The devs weren't exactly tidy.

Also, Breakout is a horrible example. It's not an official map, it was never tested for balance, gameplay, bugs, or lighting and in fact, it's still a beta map that is many years old. I should have been clear, my statements go for the official maps that were created in a dev studio, not the ones made by us fans. I can't see much anything on Breakout (is that a good excuse for my 0.05 k/d?) I think quite a bit of the lighting on that map needs to be changed to be realistic.

I know all monitors will display different and some can be calibrated more than others but I still stand by my statement. If your monitor is displaying colors as best it can then you are getting as close as possible to the way it was intended. Those settings in-game are NOT for you to turn Insurgent Camp into a daytime map.

I don't think you fully understand the dilemma that the windows 8 users are going through. It's completely unfair of you to label anyone who wishes to change the brightness of the game as "people who are trying to get the better edge on others." and use it as a backing for why this isn't fixed. Furthermore you should really try getting on windows 8 and seeing for yourself what people are having to do to actually play. If you don't know what its like then I believe your argument or point isn't very valid. That's just my opinion. Breakout is also a great map, it doesn't seem unbalanced at all and with the right changes in your brightness and contrast etc, it makes that map even more fun. I don't understand why you are so opposed to the idea of having the ability to change your settings, all it does is enable people more flexibility in how they play the game. If the devs truly wanted you to run around in night vision they'd make that the default view that the game is played in.

Excuse me if I sound like im being rude, but this is a very very frustrating problem. I was playing fine like 4 days ago, one patch and now I can hardly even play.

Jonny Msg'd me and it looks like all windows  8 users are out of luck.

from jonny himself:
"Sorry, its just not possible without breaking some really important stuff we've built into assist over the last few versions."

As much as I hate to say this, but you should really reconsider trying to fix and or reverse the changes that led up to this. Windows 8 is only going to grow in popularity, computers are shipped out with it on the system pre-installed. If you have to reverse a few patches back to try and find an alternate method to whatever it was that was super needed then that's what you should really think about doing. I see a few known players here that play often and are loyal to the the game. It's a shame to see them having to go through this very same problem. I may just have to play on my laptop, which I am not excited about in the least..... at least then I can adjust the colors. Such a huge let down to me to be honest, but I guess we will always find a way to play this beloved game that we've grown to love.

You're not sounding rude, you're actually articulating your points better than a lot of the typical flamers. Again, I'm not doing anything in developing Assist. I'm not saying that the reason it's not fixed is because I hate tweakers. The reason it's not fixed is because Jonny hasn't/won't fix it. My thoughts/opinions do NOT reflect those of the anti-cheat and development team.

I play on Windows 8 and it works fine for me. Yea Breakout is dark but that's just how the map is (plus I have a real shitty 5+ year old monitor). What's the problem with Windows 8? Is it windowed mode? I play fullscreen and it's fine. Maybe because I've not touched my settings?

actually theres was no screenshot of the issue, just big loads of TEXT TEXT TEXT that I don't even attempt to read.

There's a screenshot, that I linked in one of my posts. Although, I dont think it will do much since if you have your monitor settings turned up you wont see the problem as much as I do.
