How to find brightness value?

[HonoredShadow]

In game is just a slider. But I would like to see what I have it on. Is there a way with an .ini file located somewhere? Thanks all.

No brightness, only gamma. You need to adjust brightness and contrast from your built-in monitor setting, or better calibrate your monitor.

My TV is OLED and perfectly setup for my games. How do I find the value in game for gamma then please?

There is a Brightness slider in-game, but in my case it is greyed out most likely because I'm playing it windowed. Anyway in the config.cfg file (can find it into Documents/ETS2 folder) I can see these variables that may be related :

uset r_color_saturation "1.0"
uset r_color_yellow_blue "0.0"
uset r_color_magenta_green "0.0"
uset r_color_cyan_red "0.0"
uset r_color_correction "1"

and

uset r_gamma "1"

Can edit it with Notepad, don't forget "" around values.

Simple way to find out - take a copy of config.cfg from both the base directory and your profile directory, start the game, move the brightness slider in one direction or the other, quit the game and compare the config.cfg files. If nothing has changed then the information is not stored there (unlikely IMO) otherwise you will discover which variable it is and what sort of scale it has.

Thank you for the suggestions! Will try these later.

I now get to see the number I had the gamma at. Thanks!

Do you think saturation changes anything? I turned it up to 3.0 and down to 0.1 and I don't think I saw a difference.

Tested it me too in both full screen and windowed, saturation and correction, each color too and found no differences : / Maybe my ancient GPU (or monitor) is not up to the task ^^'

I found the solution for saturation not changing!

In the config change uset r_color_correction "1" to "2" and the saturation setting now changes.

I have saturation on 1.3 for my OLED. Looks poppy without being over done like Crayola crayons lol

Downside is that after updates and changing graphics settings in game it will auto change back to "1". So either write protect the file or just keep an eye on it ;)

@kaki_gamet. At least it might not be your GPU after all :)

I also have uset r_gamma "1" changed to "1.4" as that allows the day to seem a little brighter and night to still be dark but not overwhelming and can see detail in the bushes and trees beyond etc...

Will try it immediately : D

[HonoredShadow]

Let me know if it works!

[kaki_gamet]

It works, and I didn't notice it before because I was expecting to see it on menu screen directly, never tried it in-game world ^^' Gamma instead works on menu too : )

[HonoredShadow]

The colours just make the game look more 3D to me and feel alive a little more. Gamma up a little is nice also for not so dull and seeing details in wheel arches and areas with crush black.

Found how to spend the next few days X D
