Can't change brightness of the game (Solved)
Can't change brightness of the game (Solved)
Hi there.
I had to reinstall my computer recently and did install the game again. It's way too dark! Some parts of certain maps are completely black.
Everything works well, except that I can not change the brightness of the game. Hitting f10/f11 is not doing anything, and sliding the brightnes -level -bar manually is not working either.
It does work in Software Rendering though, but not in OpenGl something, and als0 not in Direct3D. I can't play in software rendering, it's way too pixelated for me.
Before the installation I did not have problems. I tried some different numbers in UnrealTournament.ini but not sure if I entered them correctly.
Other games are running fine, and have not this problem...
Any clues? Help would be appreciated.
Edit: got it working now. Hooray!

Re: Can't change brightness of the game
There was a recent thread over on Hermskii's forum about something similar...
I had a similar issue a few years ago but it turned out the issue was with my monitor and not the game.
Maybe you need a new graphics card?
Your situation seems different, as switching to OpenGL fixed his problem.

Could it be driver-related? As I update my driver frequently.
I never had this problem before, that's what makes it so strange.

Re: Can't change brightness of the game
The method OpenGLDrv used to change the display brightness no longer works on Windows 10. If you are indeed using Windows 10, then I recommend switching to D3D9Drv.
Re: Can't change brightness of the game
Wow that sucks "Windows 10" is a pig.
Are we able to fix this somehow because OpenGL is a necessity :/
Maybe old unreal drivers help sort the problem?

Re: Can't change brightness of the game
How do I do that, without interfering with other games?
Here is my dxdiag:
I have Ryzen 5 3600 6 core 3,6 ghz. 16 ram ddr4
rx580 8gb and windows 10 uptodate.
The patch link is not working

Re: Can't change brightness of the game
Here's the link for D3D9Drv: http://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/utd3d9r13.zip
Unzip into your game's system folder, then open the UnrealTournament.ini file.
Look for the "[Engine.Engine]" section and locate the GameRenderDevice, WindowedRenderDevice and RenderDevice lines. Change each renderdevice to D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice (e.g., GameRenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice).
Now, scroll down to the bottom of the file and add:
[D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice]
SwapInterval=0
GammaOffset=0.2
Use larger gammaoffset values for higher brightness.

Re: Can't change brightness of the game
I did what you asked me to, now the game won't start . Giving me errors starting up. I did make a back up of the .ini though. gladly. When replacing it,( old to the replaced one) the games starts fine
Is it this horror windows 10 causing this?

Re: Can't change brightness of the game
It's weird that Windows10 causes everyone so much problems.
Was worried about that myself when I upgraded, but it's never negatively impacted my UT. You've seen the screenshots, everything looks great.

Re: Can't change brightness of the game
I got it working now! Hooray. I think I made the mistake by fist editing the ini file then adjusting the video driver.
Starting over with the clean ini file then switching to dx9 in the options menu got it working for me !
Big thanks! I can play UT normal again now!

Worked for me but now everything is running with ultra speed so I had to go back to previous settings T_T Any idea how to deal with this superspeed issue ?Here's the link for D3D9Drv: http://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/utd3d9r13.zip
