OT: 3fx gamma question

by Scott Moor » Sun, 17 Jan 1999 04:00:00

Just a quick, non-sim related question for you Voodoo specialists out there.
I have a Monster 3D I, with the latest drivers and Glide 2.43. It worls great in everything except Quake II--no matter where I set the gamma, the screen is so dark that Q2 is unplayable. All my other Glide programs are fine, so the question is: Is this a common Q2 issue? I've tried evrything I can think of, so I hope the vast knowledge possessed by simmers can help me out....thanks in advance.

there's a brightness adjuster in quake itself - have you tried that?

I've got the same problem with NFS 3. I think it's the Diamond drivers....  the gamma sliders work for all my games except NFS 3.  Don't know about Quake 2, I haven't played it in months, but I'd guess it's the same thing.

solved the problem in q2. Now i can see once more!
