UT 99/GOTY OpenGL Low Brightness / Brightness Fix

[callmejed]

I searched for a few days until I finally came across a couple extremely helpful posts from a few other fellas. Fixed my low in game UT brightness issue and its not responding to brightness updates via the Unreal UI or config .ini.

The answer was to switch UT to the OpenGL renderer, and update the current OpenGLDrv.dll found in the UT/System dir with the one found at this link (I ended up just renaming the original OpenGLDrv.dll to OpenGLDrv.dll.old just in case I may need it again):

And this is a useful guide to help anyone missing arguably essential bonus UT packs, including the lovely ChaosUT mod:

Have a lovely day and happy gaming :3

Thanks! That fixed all my problems with UT on Win10! Now its better than ever on GTX960!!! Thank you so much....

I'm impressed what a modern card can do with such old games ;-)

there is also updated directx renderers. d3d9 and d3d10. opengl messed up bots for me somehow. they still worked but were not godlike. using the new direct3d was a very noticable difference. they went from never hitting me to being able to actually kill me again.

Still brightness doesn't change

using d3d9 and making gamma 0.70000 will help
GammaOffset=0.700000
GammaOffsetBlue=0.100000
GammaOffsetGreen=0.100000
GammaOffsetRed=0.100000
