Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems Help with visuals

ok i tried playing and realized that i could barely see the character and the bed. Anyone have some help so that the game becomes a little brighter. this haapens to me in a lot of games as well not just DD. The brightness and contrast are fully tuned up on my monitor as well but still dark. I wouldn't care except i cant play cuz i dont know what im looking at. plz help me thanx

In the Options, under Video, Visual, switch Darkness to 50 and increase the Gamma (mine is at 1.35). Adjust the gamma during day (outside) in the game, to make it bright enough to see farther, but not so much to cause eye strain.

'Brightness' sets the black point (how dark black is), which can be done exactly. 'Contrast' adjusts the overall luminosity of the screen (how bright white is), which should not effect the black point. A site I bookmarked is no longer there, but I found it cached at Google (minus the pictures, though);

Is your monitor still under warranty? If you set the black point properly, but can not increase the Contrast enough to display white as white, you should consider getting it repaired. Check it on a different computer / video card, if possible.

it wont let me change gamma
its blacked out
and i forgot to mention this is for the demo

The demo is based on pre-release code, so some options are not available. There is suppose to be an updated demo released at some point (according to the FAQ), but I don't think I'd hold my breath waiting for it.

Does your video card itself have a gamma adjustment? Right click on the Desktop, select properties, then the Settings tab, then click on the Advanced button and poke around.
