Brightness Contrast Gamma Video Settings
« on: Saturday, July 20, 2013, 19:33:01 PM »
These no longer work. Since the last few updates, the brightness contrast and gamma settings appear to look like the default regardless of the settings. Attempts to change the setting in game, on the assist program and directly in the armyops.ini file have been to no avail. Repairing and doing a complete re install does not work either. The game appears to be way to dark to be playable on some maps such as pipeline.

There are no clear fixes for this issue many of us are experiencing.

try changing those on your GPU panel

Is that really a long term solution? I cannot change my video settings exclusively for the game.

Problem solved:
http://www.calibrize.com/

I tried Calibrize, but it doesn't fulfill the requirements, That program only helps calibrate your monitor's colors and brightness; you can't even specify different brightness levels for different full screen programs. It's essentially useless trying to use Calibrize for significant in game brightness improvements.

I'm guessing you aren't experiencing this problem Spanky. How about you go in game, put the video settings to default and see for yourself if Calibrize is the proper solution.


I'm under the impression that the only solution is to make the fixes to Assist that would allow many of us users to change the settings in game as we always have.

That's the point. It calibrates your monitor. No need to mess with other settings. Once you calibrate, that's it. You're seeing stuff as you're supposed to.

I'm on Windows 8, I've been in-game and I always play at the default settings.

I'm glad you're able to keep playing unhindered by this inconvenience. Still, several users agree with me that the default setting is not enough. The game brightness is too dark, and we need to have the in-game settings restored.

Jonny's already said that it won't be fixed. If your game is too dark then that's due to 1 of 2 things:

1. Your monitor isn't calibrated.
2. You think the devs got that map wrong.

Reason #2 is only valid if it's a mAAp map. The official maps have already been tested wide-scale on a variety of hardware for balance, bugs, layout and yes, lighting. If there was a problem, the devs would have fixed it.

JB, can't you make a game profile on your GPU panel? so it chages the stuff only for teh game.
I'm on Win XP and I don't use AMD Catalyst(my card) so I don't even try :)

I have this problem too. It's obviously a bug that needs to be addressed as it has ALWAYS worked in the past. Calibrating doesn't help and game profiles can't adjust brightness. I'll be waiting for a fix, if it doesn't get fixed I'll move on to another game.

As requested, in Assist v7.34 look in the settings tab in assist and click the tick box for 'Windows 8 Gamma' and adjust the 'Windows 8 Screen Gamma' slider as required.
