    I have logged into the Test Server and the Gamma things they did recently is messing up my desktop and making it much darker than usual. But it stays that way after I am quit out of the game. I have to restart computer to correct it.

    I saw this under the Test Update 11/25/2015:

    - Adjusted the default gamma behavior of the game in windowed mode. By default, opening the game will no longer adjust the brightness of your desktop as it should no longer be necessary to increase the gamma slider in order to achieve reasonable in-game visibility. The option to revert to legacy functionality has been included in the advanced display options window with the button 'Enable Windowed Gamma'.


    Could this be what is going on?
    It is effecting my desktop.
  3. Randragon Augur

    So I think I got it fixed now.

    I logged into Test. Clicked on the 'Enabled Windowed Gamma' under the advanced display options window. Then I camped out and restarted my computer to remove the previous gamma issues. I restarted the game and it doesn't affect my desktop anymore.

    Let me also mention that during patching I did have to Validate Assets for Test in order to get onto the Test Server in the first place.

    Another side note. When I do switch between Live and Test and its checking files I see an interesting file issue. It must be because I am going back and forth between live and test in the same game folder so my assets will be different. But here it is just in case:

    Checking all game files...
