Hi,

I had the same problem before...dont remmember excatly how I solved it,but maybe try different resolution and color mode (32 or 16).Is your windows color mode and q3 color mode the same? (32-32 bit f.e.)

WOW! The "r_ignore"-line fixed it!!
I had this problem since a year! Always solved it by switching the resolution in q3. <-Ugly 'cause it takes a lot of time. In the same way my second monitor gets a brightness which kills my eyes.. :roll:

Thanks for your advise! Now Q3 is never gettin' this damn' grey-filter and my second monitor works perfect, too (cause now it is keeping its own gamma)
\:D/ //can't believe it right now this problem is fixed... THX!
