I just installed D3 on my Linux box - everything works and runs smoothly, but unfortunately the game is unplayable because of this brightness thing: I need to adjust brightness and contrast (because of this problem with LCDs displaying dark color shades kinda weirdly). I can use the nvidia_settings utility, but the problem is, Doom 3 overrides these settings and the r_brightness setting doesn't really help, because it actually adjusts image intensity, not brightness (it multiplies instead of adding). Is there a workaround for this problem? Perhaps a setting which tells Doom not to tinker with the gamma tables? Lukas Hosek

I have found that setting "r_gamma 1.3" in the console makes things look pretty good for me (default is 1.0). -- If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

Instead of just doom3 run (sleep 10; nvidia_settings -l) & doom3 Lukas Hosek
