Just an FYI we have a medical supply office where you can get help on issues like this and many other technical aspects.

Try typing the following commands into console and report back what the values are set to.

mat_monitorgamma_tv_enabled

mat_monitorgamma_tv_exp

mat_monitorgamma_tv_range_max

mat_monitorgamma_tv_range_min

[Rijke]

"mat_monitorgamma_tv_enabled" = "0"

"mat_monitorgamma_tv_exp" = "2.5" min. 1.000000 max. 4.000000

"mat_monitorgamma_tv_range_max" = "255"

"mat_monitorgamma_tv_range_min" = "16"

Moved to the MSO

not sure if this will make a difference but try turning color correction off if it is on

You can try changing the values to those commands to what I have listed below. I would suggest changing one at a time. If you end up with a screen that is too bright, try changing the value of the last command to a lower number. You have already listed your default values so if you experience an undesirable result just revert back to the default values.

mat_monitorgamma_tv_enabled 1

mat_monitorgamma_tv_exp 2.5

mat_monitorgamma_tv_range_max 255

mat_monitorgamma_tv_range_min 25

Helped a little but in my original post if you look at my screenshot the brightness is all the way up but you still can't see the words that should appear in the box

• Make sure your video drivers are updated and set to the default settings (especially brightness/gamma).
• Remove any config that is in your autoexec.cfg or config.cfg.
• Make sure your monitor brightness is set to mid-level or the defaults.

How do I disable this it resets my binds and my game options everytime I restart the game

[Heresy 1st MRB]

You just remove the "-autoconfig" entry. Did this change anything concerning the darkness in the game?

[Heresy 1st MRB]

Any news on this this issue? Did the last suggestion help? I will close the ticket in 24 hours if there are no further updates.

[Rijke]

No it's still dark I'll just live with it though

[Heresy 1st MRB]

Ok thank you. I am going to close the ticket, but I would still review your video card settings and make sure there is nothing strange in there.
