Hi Folks,

I'm having a problem with my Brightness setting in D3 under WinXP Home. The brightness slider, which I've set at 1.40, is ignored when I load a game. Every time I need to goto the brightness slider and slide it up to 1.42 (or back down to 1.40 depending which way I went last time) then click apply.

Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions out there, such as a config file setting or something?

I have D3 and the Mercenary expansion pack installed (and no, the problem existed before Mercenary was installed).

Thanks.

I had this problem also on my last XP pro build. It happened when I updated the monitor drivers for Windows. I've since reformated and haven't triued D3 yet.

Sounds like an ATi problem -- anyone ? Deadmeat ?

I do have a Built by ATI 9800 Pro/64. I hope it's not that...

Mine was ATI 9800 Pro 128 Meg. Try udating your monitor drivers.

it is most definitly an ati driver problem!! Thier d3d driver usually works ok, but i had major issues with thier opengl driver!! it wasnt that it crashed, just peformance suked and standard things like gamma, vsync ect, didnt work. the gamma issue came up over 2 1/2 years ago and i waited for over 9 driver releases and they never fixed it... guess they still didnt.

Rats. OK thanks for your input folks.

The other setting which doesn't like to hold is render distance, but I guess a few gotcha's like this will persist.

I've had quite a bit of success making older games run under XP, including Forsaken, Red Alert, Colin McRae Rally 2, 688(I) Hunter-Killer, Homeworld, F22 ADF...

See you in the mines!
