OpenGL not working correctly

[Spiders]

Yo,

I'm using OpenGL for Unreal Tournament
But when I start UT with it (OpenGL 3.4), the whole screen is very dark, and no matter what I do with the brightness control, it stays dark
I'm using an ATI Radeon 9600XT video card

Thanks in advance

Increase the gamma offset of your UTGLR driver by adding the following line to the [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice] section of your unrealtournament.ini:

GammaOffset=0.3

[Spiders]

Thank you!
Finally a solution for it!

ah nice one Ive had this problem for a while and had to use D3D8, finally I can use opengl again

[SoNY_scarface]

umm this didnt work for me :s im using an x800gto

[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
Translucency=True
VolumetricLighting=False
ShinySurfaces=True
Coronas=True
HighDetailActors=True
DetailTextures=True
GammaOffset=0.3

Then try another higher number.
You start with low values and move up.
Make a copy of your UT.ini first in case you screw it up.

yep didnt work for me either
I tried higher values upto 3.3 and there was no change at all in brightness

is there a way to reset the gamma back to normal after UT crashes and windows displays an awful picture?

I used this when D3D crashed out on me: start UT again and close it back down. If I remember correctly that restored the gamma of the desktop back to default.

Of course, you've already tried that, so I'm just saying this for others for whom it might work

[medor]

For ati user if you whant use d3d without smother the mouse you can set that

Take d3d9 http://unrealtournament.99.free.fr/u.../utd3d9r10.zip



and add this in your ut.ini

LODBias=0.000000

And Select it on your UT

Yeah, I have a XL800GTO too and it starts the game real dark and then leaves the windows desktop all washed out once you leave the game sometimes.

I found that setting your brightness slider in the UT options up 1 notch and then back down often corrected the brightness issue. The washed out look on the desktop after leaving the game was usually only resolved by restarting the PC.

This is part of an email that Chris Dohnal (the maker of the Enhanced OpenGL and D3D9 renderers) replied to me with concerning this gamma correction issue I asked him about when using the enhanced OpenGl renderer:


For my simple put the gamma correction back program, go to
http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/setgamma/. However, note that the reset option won't necessarily reset it back to what you'd want if you adjusted it to anything from the 1.0 default in any video card color controls. Anyway, it's just a simple command line program I use along with an icon to have something to quickly click on to put things back if need to. Also,
shouldn't need to reboot when get stuck with the wrong gamma correction
settings. Just go to wherever your video card's color control settings are,
and then bumping one of the sliders back and forth will usually take care of
putting it back.

omg, thanks man! this solved the washed out issue for me!

Try with UTGLR3.5 : http://unrealtournament.99.free.fr/utfi ... tglr35.zip
