PLEASE FIX WINDOWS 7 GAMMA/BRIGHTNESS PROBLEM.
Many games currently, including this one, will reset your gamma/brightness to Windows default when launching a full screen game, INCLUDING RESIDENT EVIL REMASTERED.

Bringing brightness all the day down to 35 (why can't it go lower?) does not fix the issue. Its still way too bright. Unfortunately my monitor's brightness setting isn't a legit brightness setting, it's just the backlight (Asus VG278h).

Playing in windowed mode it's totally fine(but no immersion there..). But in fullscreen any gamma change I make whether it be under "calibrate display color" in windows 7, or any of nvidias settings get 100% ignored by this game and others. However there are some games that actually use your Windows calibration and so have no brightness issues.

Please make this one of those games...the basement area with the masks looks like a sun room on a sunny day in the middle of Summer right now... I can't play it like this :(

It is too dark for me, is it because i use 0-255 too ?

That sounds like an issue with your machine/monitor and not with this game. Especially if you are having issues with other games. That alone tells you that it isn't the game.

I find this game to be pretty dark already even at default settings.

Win7 x64 here.

The issue is that some games, including this one, force windows default gamma setting. If your monitor doesn't have perfect brightness out of the box, or if its outright bad, you will want to calibrate your monitor.

Windows 7 allows you to do this with "calibrate display color". Some games use whatever profile gets created after you calibrate.

However some games (like this one, and final fantasy 13) reset your gamma to windows default setting, which in my personal case makes the game WAY too bright, even after lowering the in-game brightness to the lowest. When I calibrate my display through windows, I have to bright the slider all the way down to the bottom setting.

All im asking is that they use the calibrated gamma setting/profile for users that have had to create one...and not use the default setting unless its the only one. Anyone that has good calibration out of the box will be unaffected, but for those of us who don't it sucks.

5 years later and the problem still exists. Any solution besides playing in windowed mode?
