Uhm, no you're not the only one having problems with the gamma setting.
On my rig DW without the beta patch doesn't have any gamma problems, after the patch its a complete mess.
Everything is dark, can't see the submarines, consoles etc....
I have to configure the gamma directly on the dangerous waters .ini file but after exiting the game the desktop becomes to bright and doesn't automatically go to its default gamma.
Oh, well its the price of the beta patch, hopefully this won't happen in the final version.

My DW is the stock version without any kind of mods.

I have no such problems...

FERdeBOER · 11-24-05, 01:57 PM

Me neither

I don't have a gamma problem, but I have another gamekiller to cope with.

I've only tried the ffg, but it has some serious issues as far as speed goes. The only two reliable ways to set a specific speed is "all stop" and "flank" (though I haven't tried reverse)

The rest sometimes gives the speed you want but usually not. By numbers or keypad or by taskbar or by throttle, the text and speech acknowledgement say the correct speed, but the actual speed you get (which can be read off the throttle control) is somewhere 25-75% of the speed you entered.
(4 knots became 1, 17 became 12)

(Is this a side effect of the torpedo speed fix I read about? Was it a "shortcut fix"? Sorta like fixing a car that drops its tires with duct tape?

)

MaHuJa,you are right about FFG speed! How annoing! I ordered 12 knots and instead of doing 12 knots ship speed actually dropped to 8kts!

Took my 688i forever to get from 200ft to 100ft. Went back to 200ft in no time however.

Actually it should be the other way round.

DivingWind · 11-24-05, 03:36 PM

Looks like the new patch is denying all laws of physics!

Why *should* it be the other way around?

For those who have problems with gamma settings :
in the dangerouswaters.ini file, go to =>
[Graphics]
.Gamma "0.89"

this is my gamma setting
the lower the gamma value, the brighter the screen.
1 is average, 1.xx is lowering gamma and 0.xxx make it higher.
you can try yourself different values to find the good one for your screen.
just insert value inside the 2 "" in front of .Gamma

I immagine its because submarines have a positive buoancy so that going down is more slow than going up.
