F.E.A.R. brightness

Increasing the gamma in FEAR totally washes out the colors... my monitor is already at 100% brightness. The game only looks good to me at default gamma... but at default gamma, I can not see ANY of the bars that say "Clearly Visible" and so on. I tried using Nvidia's settings, and it washes all the colors out on my desktop and makes fear look... decent... not that much better.

Is there any way I can brighten this game up without sacrificing colors?
 
Stupid question, but just making sure: Have you tried messing with the monitor's contrast while moving the ingame gamma?

Well, contrast doesn't make a difference because its a brightness issue. Thsnks for your help anyway.

I must have a dark monitor or something. :confused:
 
nah same with my monitor, thats the correct gamma they intend for people to play. I dont like the game being that dark so I just turn on ultrabrite 3 and increase the gamma.
 
If you take away the darkness, you're losing tons of what makes the game so creepy/fun, though. One of my friends is playing with an older system and the shadows show up as more of a dark gray than a black, whereas on mine there are parts that are completely 100% pitch black. From the sounds of it, the game is far more intense to me than to him, and we're both guessing it's because of the darkness. It's not like Doom3 where things just jump at you from everywhere and you don't have a decent flashlight. In FEAR, it's not very often that things come out of the shadows unexpectedly, plus you have a flashlight available at all times. But the fact that it's a possibility (and happens sometimes) keeps you tense the entire time. Really, to me the use of the lighting/shadows sets the atmosphere for the entire game. I really would recommend against turning the brightness up beyond where it was intended. The game will still be fun, and it will be easier, but it will take away the atmosphere, which is IMO the best part.
