WTF - Win 2K and Nvidia Opengl brightness

[Rapier]

I just installed Windows 2K and the 6.31 version of the nvidia 2K drivers for my Geforce DDR and now my opengl applications Q2/Q3 have gotten real dark and I can't seem to get them to brighten up. Will someone with 2K and nvidia video clue me in on whats going on.

Hrmm.. I dunno. I had the same problem with Ref. 5.32 and Quake3 in Win2K, the gamma slider wouldn't work, though I reinstalled it under 98SE and it worked fine.. seems like it's something to do with the fact you're running on 2K, never found a solution, I just use 98 for gaming.

i work around it by using powerstrip. even the free eval version has a default hotkey bind of alt,ctrl,+ and - to bump gamma by .2 on the fly...so when i start a game i just hit it a couple times to brighten things up, then alt,ctrl,F1 to go back to default when im back on my desktop. you can find it on download.com

Sh*t, this is the only problem I hae with Win2000. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

 

[lsd]

r_ignorehwgamma should do it.

 

[Rapier]

Thanks for the suggestion, but its still not the same. Sh*t, I don't wanta go back to 98.
More ideas....

Is your machine fast enough????

Overclocker3, It's fast enough to kick your little butt at the LAN Party this coming weekend. If you get yours sold you can buy the beast.

powerstrip really takes care of the problem. try it.

I just use r_overbrightbits 0, and the gamma slider works in win2k.

Go to the site above and download the new 7.17 version drivers. They kick ass!!!
