I have found that upon the release of the initial 0.60 experimental build and recent 0.60 patch both my brightness and gamma settings are not adjustable in game.
I have also found that upon switching back to 0.59 stable these settings are not adjustable in game either.
As a result the apparent default settings of brightness and gamma result in a nighttime that I find to be too bright.
With the latest patch I asked a streamer on Twitch whether they could adjust these settings. Thankfully they complied with my request and were able to adjust the gamma with visible results indicated that they were working but did comment that they were disabled if you were in Windowed mode. To test this they tried to adjust in windowed mode which did not work.
I have tried
- uninstalling the game completely and reinstalling: Did not work
- Deleted the Dayz folder to refresh the config files: Did not work
- Manually manipulate the gamma and brightness settings within the Dayzprofile file: Did not work
- Calibrate my laptop monitor to adjust gamma: Did not work
- I checked my config file to see if the Windowed command line was set to '0' which is was: This did not resolve the issue.
- I manually set windowed mode = 1 in config file to see if the inverse would work and checked whether i could adjust settings: Did not work (as expected).
