Could not set gamma

[BigGunZ]

I've had this problem for as long as i can remember, although when i first installed AC i don't think i had this issue.

here is my startup

[SELECT ALL] Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\AssaultCube_v1.1.0.4>bin_win32\ac_client.exe --home="?MYD
OCUMENTS?\AssaultCube_v1.1" --init

Could not set gamma (card/driver doesn't support it?)

init: mainloop

I've also tried reinstalling AC as well.
when i actually try to change the gamma via the AC option it seems to change but its as if its only changing the brightness/lightness making the image more washed out as the setting is higher.

Mods, please move this to help forum -.-

is gamma not just brightness?

have you tried updating your drivers. Also try /gamma # (# meaning a number)

nvidia card? sometimes you have a control panel you have to tweak before it'll let AC control the gamma

This is true of my AMD card as well. I would imagine that most decent graphics drivers come with some proprietary control panel that configures which settings applications may and may not override.
