I have a very annoying problem right now in Quake3.
Which i would like to see be solved Happy , i cant figure out myself anymore about what it can be, so the moment is here to ask some help from others.

The last time i played quake3 (e+) everything was fine, i quit the game and turned off pc.
The next time i started up my pc, and started up quake3 there was something wrong. The screen was sooo dark.. not playable anymore. So i tought i boost contrast and brightness, this helps but it fucks up the colours and screen (everything is so ugly then).

So when i switch between windows (where all the colours are good / normal) to quake3, some kind of setting get fucked up. The first time u notice is in the intro from ID Software, you see the good colours for about 1 second, and then u see it switching to bad dark colours..

I have tried to replace all my config backups (where everything was good) , but this didnt help. so i think its not a quake3 config related settings, but i also dont think it is a monitor related setting (cuz the colours in all other games and apps are good)

Does somebody know this problem?
Or can somebody help me???

Thanks in advance,

typ!

Its maybe just the brightness setting in display, I have this problem if I get a pop up while playing q3.

I need to reconnect if it happens cause the it fuks up the brightness settings, even if I put it it to full its still darker than it was b4 Sad
