Pre-expansion verup gamma issues. [screenshots][fix inside!]

[Epical]

Since the update where the SE windower was implemented, my game's brightness has been seriously screwed. Here are some shots of random areas with said lighting issues:

This extreme brightness starts around 10:00 game time and lasts until around 14:00. Anything before that is just brighter-than-usual environment/players. I've tried to alter the gamma from the Windowerwindower console, but that adjusts your whole monitor's gamma and screws with other applications/your whole PC.

I know I'm not the only one with these problems, and since I can't think of what would've caused this or how I can fix it, hopefully others can be helped through this thread.

Having the same problems. It makes it almost impossible to see any mobs.

I've also experienced the same problem, I tried reducing the game with FFXI Config with no result though going to the game menu and reducing the gamma there helps a little. (Config > Gameplay > Gamma Adjustment)

-6 gamma works for me.

-6 gamma works for me.

-6? Where is this setting?

I feel stupid for not trying this earlier but the solution is pretty simple. All you have to do is uncheck start game in window mode in FFXI config and that should solve the gamma issue if you are playing in windower.

Start Menu > All Programs > Playonline > FINAL FANTASY XI > FINAL FANTASY XI Config

Thanks very much.

And i dont wanna play ion keyboard.

I tried as many configuration as i could but didnt found one good enough.

If anyone can help me i have a Ge Force Go 6150 on a HP notebook model 6110.

FFXI has always been very bright unless you've used the windower, which ran at a normal gamma rating. -5 is what I'd have to run at if I ran FFXI pre windower patch or unwindowed/windowed post patch using theirs.

Is Rolanberry Fields [S] extremely bright for anyone else? The other zones seem normal, but Rolanberry is almost blinding.
