Night is too dark for me

[Dr Rockso]

I have an asus laptop and for some reason most games i play are darker then on other pcs and notebooks. But for me Rust is unplayable. Night is black, pitchblack. As in "i can't see ♥♥♥♥ infront of my face". I tried messing with gamma (in RoK it actually fixes the problem) but to no avail. Any tips? Is this just my laptop?

Yeah, not the way i see it. If it looks like my screen is turned off, it might be a bit too dark. I used torches but that gets you killed. And other people seem to see just fine at night.

You've answered your own question "My laptop screen is darker than other pcs/notebooks". This will happen over time as your laptop ages.

Therefore its not Rust that needs to change, but rather you need to get a newer laptop (new ones are almost too bright), or see if there is some settings on your laptop to increase the brightness, or the gamma overall.

That way, not only will you solve it being too dark in Rust, but being darker in other games than you would like.

I have a new asus laptop. I play most games on high or ultra settings. Rust is the only game where if i mess with the setting of my screen it would not do anything. Take reign of kings, same problem but if i change the gamma of my screen in my config, it would be solved. Rust does not respond to that. It remains black.

It's a measure to prevent people from using their gamma to see during the night, Rust has some image noise that becomes louder the darker it gets. You can try to use your gamma to see but the noise makes stuff actually become more black, so it's gonna be dark anyway.

the dark is dark always

It's the game design. I know it sucks but it gives you some opportunity to hide and stuff like that. Or you could carry weapon flashlights or NVG.
