Quake 3 lightmap brightness?

i love playing games while i am waiting for downloads to......well download! i am playing quake 3 and max payne at the moment unfortunately max payne keeps stuttering and the windows task bar keeps popping up so i just stick with quake 3.

anyway to get to the point:

i play the game with lightmap and for some reason it seems really dark, and i cant seem to change the brightness on it, when i move the brightness slider it doesn't seem to do anything, except when i take a screenshot it seems as though it captures the brightness, so the screenshot will be really bright but in game it's still dark.

does anyone know how to change this at all or can you not change it at all? it's seems weird that it can capture it being brighter than i see, without me actually seeing it.

any ideas would be really helpful
 
hmm, well i did install version 1.31 update but it still seems to be quite dark, i guess i will have to just lump it, ah well, thanks anyway 🙂

 
Do you have the latest drivers for your video card?

Also try deleting your config file and letting the game create a new one.

In addition, make sure r_ignorehwgamma is set to 0.
 
hmm it's funny you should bring that up BFG, cause i just installed Unreal Tournament and the same thing is happening with that game as well, too dark in openGL, must be something wrong with my drivers.

i'll see if i can find updated ones, the card i have is a Hercules Geforce 2 GTS Pro 64MB

will post back when i've tested them out
