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

its annoying same as my mouse sens problem, i think update has a little mess in it

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

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.
-
confirm button is there xD but I cant test it right now, no Server is updated yet xD
-
Lol u cant change these ingame amymore.....cmone guys u push ppl to for gpu tweaks? haha .u should override tje gpu changes which allow ppl see further not to emcourage them to go play with itby disabeling option which is same for everyone thus same playing chance for everyne but some gpus can be tweaked betrer than others so=imgame advantage

then don't use it, play vanilla AA.
Were trying to help for fuck sake.
-
you noticed that there is a button in the updated assist Client? no need for gpu driver tweaks...
-
This stuff makes no sense. Just restore the original settings? It's been like it was for over 10 years why isn't that good enough now? I seriously don't get it. On win8 I can get my screen brighter, but on Linux still no go...
-
Then dont use Linux j/k :D :D :D
-
ITS NOT US, Its changes in the operating system and drivers!!!
I have given you a tool, its the best i can do.
-
Operating systems are evolving all the time, Linux unity desktop and Windows 8 metro interface are not allowing us to take direct control of the display any more without triggering a UAC and running with admin privileges, I can't allow armyops to run on your pc with admin privileges for your own protection, we cant allow armyops crashing to take down your whole pc, its just not how the pc world works anymore. we all have to work within the user space. I have given you a gamma adjustment tool which executes separately from armyops but on win8 sp1 this also triggers a UAC so that will not work great for very long. So please stop blaming Assist.
Before you say I can still change gamma on my other games, are your other games 10 years old and using directX 8?
EDIT, Have removed admin flag on Gamma tool so should now run on all system without triggering UAC. It if still does delete the GC folder in 25Assist's home folder.

Good Answer johnny
-
Then why did it work 2 patches ago? I didn't update between these patches. And yes on Operation Flashpoint, which is older, I can adjust brightness etc. and it doesn't need admin privileges.
I don't mean to attack anyone, it's just that it worked, we get a patch, and then it doesn't work.

I made a lil vid of Operation Flashpoint without admin privileges and working brightness and gamma control. A 2001!! game ty.

JonnyM, your Windows 8 gamma option does not do the trick unfortunately. When launching the game with windows 8 gamma on max, my monitors flash to an intense brightness at the splash screeb and it quickly subsides as if there was no gamma increase whatsoever.
It appears that there may only be one option for the affected players: Dual boot into Windows 7.
The arguably necessary security changes JonnyM made has unintentionally and irreparably force a few of us to go out of our way to play.
Spanky. Please stop posting on the forum regarding this issue. You are not contributing any helpful information, and you are most certainly not calming us down.

Try pressing f8 f7 in game and see if it works, try adjusting the gamma control app in your system tray.

I tried EVERYTHING Jonny
-
What happens when you adjust gamma using the gamma control app.
-
The gamma control stuff is not working well. One time it works the other it doesn't. Anyway you got proof brightness control can function how it always has, also on Windows 8. I'll check now and then if it's fixed. Until then, if it will be restored even, I'll be on other games. 25assist went to Recycle Bin. I came back to play AA 2 after like 5 years, played two weeks and now this. Bye.
-
Dude, Come on. We are trying our best. Go into the 25Assist home folder and delete the GC folder and then try again. This system works on all my win8 test rigs.
-
that much about "old school players".
lol, sorry lol
-
Well anyway....
If you have the latest version of the GC you should be able to Increase gamma by holding down F7 and Decrease by holding down F8 while in game or while on the desktop.
-
Bye.
I know you guys can feel raged, that something has changed your gameplay blablabla, but don't be a jerk and react like that
-
Let him go. One less Insurgent Camp daytime player.
-
Silly me, I had f.lux installed which quickly overrides the gamma control of your program. The game is playable now. I just can't make much use of my other monitors while playing,
Thanks Jonny
