can someone explain to me why opengl is always so dang dark?! quake3arena is dark, and i found a gamma hack you put in the .cfg to fix that, but i’m having trouble running unreal tournament on my new gladiac geforce2 under d3d. so, i used opengl instead and it plays great, but too dark to see. does anyone know how to fix this?
In quake3, Under system, or options… ( I forget witch one ) then under video, their is a gama or light control… Just increase it, and that should take care of your problem broham!
Yes, there is a fix (and more effective than trying to crank up the monitor/display brightness). There is a file called “Windows OpenGL renderer for Unreal Tournament” that contains a “OpenGLDrv.dll” file and instructions for using it in UT. It works wonders. Not sure where to download, but maybe I could email it to you if you like. If anyone knows a spot to grab it from, that would be preferred.

Quake III Arena brightness hack:
Use Vertex lighting
