Brightness Issue

nobloodyname · 02-16-2012, 11:28 PM

I have a 3D Vision set-up with a suitably bright monitor but I am not using 3D Vision in this game since the implementation is currently broken.

With that out of the way (monitors for 3D Vision *are* bright), I just cannot get the brightness down far enough in the settings menu to make the 'not visible' line, um, not visible. It doesn't appear to be referencing the Nvidia slider settings through the desktop (I checked deliberately) so it looks the only way to solve this if the developers were able to deepen the scale of the brightness settings at all?

I've tried reducing the monitor's brightness to zero and that doesn't make the text disappear, either; it's still very readable.

It's not a deal breaker, admittedly, but it'd be nice if I could play the game in the dark atmosphere intended.

So, Remedy, is there any chance you could deepen the scale of the brightness settings, please? Not sure if that's possible but it's worth asking, right?

Yeah, the game does seem abnormally bright. It's the first and only game I have actually had to adjust the brightness on, and I literally have about 120 or so installed (so that's saying something). My situation isn't quite as bad however - I have to reduce it down to two bars, but it is set 'correctly' at that level according to the text boxes, so at least I can actually set it correctly.. It makes Steam overlay very dark though, which obviously isn't an issue with other games.

I may be wrong here, but is this an issue because of the way it was ported from Xbox? To my understanding, Xbox 360 and TV's in general handle colors very differently to PC monitors (this is why Xbox has a black level and color setting for adjusting it to suit LCD/LED PC monitors), so maybe this causes it to be extremely bright on a standard PC setup without the color correction setting like that of the Xbox?

Just a guess, but yeah the brightness on the PC version does seem far too bright,

Think of yourseves as lucky to have that problem. 99.99% of hardcore gamers out there (me included) can only dream of 3D gaming.

I'm not sure jordNZ has 3D Vision, and I take your point of view, but my post is not really about that. It sounds like your brightness is fine, and that's really cool.
