brightness doesnt work

How can I adjust the brightness? The slider seems to be disabled.

In-game brightness is controlled by the r_gamma variable. From the command-line, you can set this manually, e.g.:
quake3 +set r_gamma 1.5
This is a floating point value (and much past 1.8 is unbearably bright, even on really dark cards with really dark monitors), and the default is 1.0.

You can also change it in-game by bringing down the console and typing:
/set r_gamma x.y
/vid_restart

Note that you have to do the vid_restart for the change to correctly take effect.

last option will be:

.. From your monitor's menu, set the brightness to favorite level while quake3 is running.

What u lookin' at, bra ? I'm back !

Never heard of using /vid_restart to apply r_gamma changes O.o I have an r_gamma toggle so I can adjust brightness on the fly, it prints out current value to the console.

Maybe you have accidentally put /r_ignorehwgamma to "1"? Best value is "0"...

i try
r_ignorehwgamma to "0" nothing happened

r_gamma 1.3 and vid_restart commands are already in my cfg
i execute my cfg many times sucsessfully before i installed v2.0a

In-game you must use /vid_restart after typing /r_ignorehwgamma 0

r_ignorehwgamma 0 is default value. You have to set it to 1 if you want change something :roll:

Yea but setting it to 1 makes the brightness regualtion disabled (afterall it says to ignore gamma), at least on my pc.
Gangster...did you try to change "seta r_ext_gamma_control" value?
