Can't adjust gamma setting

[CosmoK]

Hey, having issue with the gamma slider in game. The gamma stays the same no matter how i adjust it. There is no apparent change at all .

Hi, some users have reported that this issue only happens sometimes and restarting the game / PC can solve this problem.

The issue for me is constant, and a game restart does not help.

Hi there, I'm a certified computer technician in North America. I'm running an Intel Core 2 paried with an nVidia GTX 570 (laugh all you want, it was cheap) so there should be no AMD/nVidia conflict issues. Check my Steam library: all my other games run fine.

The gamma slider had no effect on the look of the game, neither at the lowest or highest setting. Everything is blown-out, as you can see:

Restarting does not help.
My monitor is set at minimum brightness (I kept it low already, it's at the lowest setting now).
I reinstalled the game four times due to the issue with the gamma slider not appearing.
I restarted the game numerous times because of the gamma issue, I've got the prologue memorized.

Darkwood is extremely bright, though. If I find a fix I'll report back here.

And done:
Darkwood after EXTREME changes via the NVIDIA Control Panel: Brightness to 17%, contrast to 34%, and Gamma to 56%.

Results:

By the way, there are no issues with the sound quality, frame rate, or game functions.

Let's put it this way: it was after midnight when my girlfriend begged me to play Darkwood for the first time. The whimpering sound of the you-know-what in the opening five minutes of the game made her cry. She was sobbing and buried her face in her hands. Later, she asked what became of the you-know-what... I told her I did what was humane. I haven't been shook like this by a game since Silent Hill 2 or Dead Space 2.

Read my first comment, I posted what fixed the issue for my setting. Check yor GPU control panel for gamma (I'm old, I remember when gamma was adjusted via the operating system, not the GPU).

The problem just went away after starting the game once again.
I have no clue what this was all about

[Humbug]

I have this problem as well. Restarted the PC and game numerous times. Still doesn't work.

Hi, this is fixed in the next update. A temporary fix is to start the game, start a new profile / load a saved game and then go to main menu and adjust the gamma settings :)

im glad to hear this will be fixed in the next update

This doesn't fix my issue since I'm already using settings in the control panel for monitor adjustments in general. I don't want to re-adjust it everytime i play Darkwood. I'm glad to hear as well that this is fixed in the next update.
