<div class="IPBDescription">gamma problems</div> I know this has been posted befor i found the post but i would like to bring this up again.

I have a problem and i know many other ppl have it to i even quit ns for now cause of this. My problem is that when i open ns my gamma get reset to default and i have to readjust it and reconnect to the server i was on. If i alt tab my gamme gets reset to default and i have to readjust my gamma and brightness again and reconnect to the server. Some times just after 20 min of play or so it just flickers then goes back to default. I dont know what is causing this but i hate having to readjust and reconnect to servers to fix my gamma. My gamma and brightness wont stay at what i set it to it always gets reset to the default and when its default it's all black i cant see any thing. I use to be able to just press esc twice and it would go back to what i had it set at but i cant do that any more. I can never get it set back to the way i had it unless i readjust it so plz help. thx

Ive been told on irc to dl ati gamma patches and i was dled one. It messed up my vid drivers.

I would really like it if some one could help me fix this.
if you need any more information from me to fix this problem feel free to just ask.

    Uh maybe this should be in the tech support forum? It may be easier to find help there.

    This is an issue with your video card. Try different drivers, and hope that they fix this for your kind of card in future patches =\

    Ya, everyone knows about the ATI prob with gamma (I have 256 9800 XT) the only known compromise is to revert back to the 3.x cat drivers, not sure which one, but if you search the forum you will find it.

    I haev the same gfx card as @nthony, with the latest catalysts (4.5 i think). I get this gamma issue all the time with NS. Its easily remidied by pression windows key, then selecting NS. Sometimes, this will fix the problem, if not, hit escape twice. IF that dosnt fix it, repeat, if that dosnt fix it, i misread your post and i apologise. I have my gamma and brightness metres on full.

    yeah ive tried that but it doesnt work. I made a gamma script to load with the game so when ever i join a game it adjusts it when loading the game but i cant change it in game now but its no longer dark.

    There is a simple fix, just hit ESC, go into the menu, then go back into the game.
