Help....

Hi all...

May be somebody has the same issue/problem.

I recent changed my NEC Croma Clear CRT by an LCD 19" 5:4 300C, 2000:1 contrast, 4ms, by LG (1900R Phantasy).

Well, compared with my ancient NEC Croma Clear, this LCD LG is just a piece of s@##$, the NEC may be old, but it is superb !

Initially i used the builder program to calibrate the monitor, but it is bad, i can reduce the bright enough, so i decide to unistall the program and use the windows control panel divers settings to adjust it, it work nice, better than LG builder program.

whats the problem...

it looks nice, but when i load up SH IV, play a mission, and tehn back to my desktop, the gamma is changed, windows seems to still taking the SH IV settings instead the control panel settings.

If i go to the control panel or rebbot the computer i recover the settings...

Why SH IV override my OS settings after the sim is closed ?

Any help...will be welcome !!!

Try messing with the game details, set to low/high, if refresh rate available, set exact like the monitor, resolution the same as the monitor.
If nothing happens, try pressing F5 after exiting the game...:hmm:
Update video card drivers?

Had this problem with some games.
Temporary workaround:
In control panel, change resolution and then set it back again at original...

Hmm, I haven't experienced that either... I had the same situation when I've changed from my 19" CRT to my new and shiny 22 LCD widescreen...

Are you using some kind of tweak programs for your graphic card?
Also I would recommend completely uninstalling the drivers, reboot, install new once again... Might help

Good luck!

Do you have Catalist 7.4 driver?
Use ATI Tray Tool?

Many thanks GakunGak, MaxT and Anvart..

Happens with diferent drivers version.
F5 makes nothing.
I use 1280x1024 in desktop, but 1024x768 into SH IV.
1280x1024 into sim, droops my FPS.

No other game/sim makes it... only SH IV.

I do not use ATI Tray Tool, i use ATI Tool, to Underclock my card to avoid anoying graphic glitches.

MaxT.dk · 05-28-07, 04:25 PM

Have you tried to run it windowed (since the full resolution lags anyway)?

05-28-07, 04:44 PM

If low-end video card, try lowering details...:hmm:
If possible, set refresh rate to 75Hz.
Update to latest drivers.
Close all background programs...
Try that.

I think setting the refresh rate on an LCD monitor would not have an effect...

LCD displays

Much of the discussion of refresh rate does not apply to LCD monitors. This is because while a phosphor on a CRT will begin to dim as soon as the electron beam passes it, LCD cells open to pass a continuous stream of light, and do not dim until instructed to produce a darker color. Pertaining to LCDs, see also response time and Input lag.

Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate

By the way, I found this in MAX PAYNE's manual:

Quote:

ATI Radeon graphics cards (Radeon, Radeon VE, Mobile Radeon)
We recommend that the D3D Hardware T&L setting is used on all Radeon cards that support it.

ATI Radeon based cards don't support the in-game Gamma control. You should adjust gamma from ATI Radeon's display driver control panel if needed.

:hmm:
