Gamma

[Anbu]

Ok i got a nvidia 6600 256mb card recently put in my comp and now everytime i alt+tab in l2 the game's gamma stays on my desktop. My desktop's gamma will be very high so i can't read shit on it.

this used to happen with my ati card but i would just open the control panel and it'd go away.

anyone have any way of stopping this or at least fixing it when it does happen?

ty in advance!

I get this on all of my computers that have an nVIDIA card. (4 of them)
What gamma do u use ingame?

i put the gamma on high

everything else is too dark.

Try to max out the Brightness of ur screen, and set the gamma to Average. I think you will be better with that :)

[Anbu]

k i'll try that.

I'm using the "fastest LCD on earth" at 4ms the viewsonic one if that matters . . .

19" LCD.

ms doesnt really matter
Try using contrast around 50 and brightness at 100.
Then set the L2 gamma to average. I think u ll like the result

rofl guess you've never seen a lcd @ 100 brightness cuz it burns your fucking eyes

Unreal's "neutral" settings are 0.5, 0.5, 1.0 for brightness / contrast / gamma.

Default (as seen in UnrealED (old ones only ?) or L2) is 0.8 / 0.7 / 0.8

So technically, gamma is lowered, but with significantly upped brightness, contrast. Either way, it looks like shit imo.

You have few options:

- patch L2 with l2encdec's patcher, then fix the settings in L2.ini to neutral values (http://dstuff.l2wh.com), encrypt back, enjoy normal colors.

- if you don't want patching, grab user.ini from that site (L2 still accepts plain text user.ini) - you can control in game contrast/brightess/gamma + reset to neutral, using [ ] ; ' . / and \ Adjust/remove bindings (and other stuff) as necessary.

I've got the same problem T_T

yup, i did zoomhacks last week and it fixed it. gay having to re-install it every week though. :(

Reinstall every week ? You mean L2 getting patched ?

If user.ini is all you need, just copy your premade versions with whatever "hacks" you need.
