• The Quake 3 Arena 1.25 patch and above should fix this problem. If it doesn’t you can also try the fixes below. • Type the following command at the console: • /r_ignorehwgamma 1 • /vid_restart and see if it helps. • You can also try the following: • /r_ignorehwgamma 0 • /r_overbrightbits 0 • /vid_restart This should mean that the brightness slider works as usual. • If that doesn’t help, try typing the following commands at the console: • /r_mapoverbrightbits x • /vid_restart where x is a value from 2 to 3.
