107365 2002-12-18 21:23:00 Anyone know how to make the graphics brighter on CS? i know its not my video card its my screen that makes it dark and its annoying. Any console commands that work? Anything? using TNT2 32meg. Jimmy D (2061)

What I usually do is just turn up the gamma from the nvidia driver properties.

Or have a gander at:

Mmmm... Gotta love the latest set of Detonators :D Only thing is its a bit of a pain later to reset it again.

Turning it up in-game does help a lot. Check under the config as Tim said, and there are also console keys so that you can adjust it in game, along with mouse sensitivity and many other things too!

107370 2003-01-01 03:55:00 yeah ive tried the "brightness" and "gamma" commands but they dont do anything, its just the same, i am using OpenGL. It could be i need the update, waiting for i Beef to give me the update so it saves me from downloading 116megs on a 33k :P

try fiddling with options in cs, you might find something, something like the contrast.

107372 2003-01-01 10:37:00 Thats interesting, I have a TNT2 on my other computer and used to have that problem. How do you know its not the video card? segfault (655)
107373 2003-01-02 21:38:00 Well i know that its not the cards fault that its dark because when i plug newer screens into my comp its a lot brighter, but yes it must be the TNT's fault i cant change the settings any higher.

i kind of agree with attaboy, CS isnt that great, i'd much rather play AQ2 any day :)

segfault if u used to have that problem, how did u fix it?

If a new screen gives you a brighter color then the problem might be with the screen rather than the card or game gamma setting.

If ur screen brightness/contrast has been set to maximum and you still can't get any joy out of it then I suggest taking the screen to a qualified technician for a tune-up or buy a new screen.
