colorcorrection enabled? post processing?

yea when i enable that it gets lighter, but k1llsen doesnt have that in his cfg so why is mine so dark? when i enable that, its like everything has so much contrast, water on tox gets all white for example. not natural.

Different VGA drivers, different display configuration.

With darkness the problem is often r_ignorehwgamma.

yea he has ignorehwgamma 0 though dont understand how he can play like that, or how to lighten up the stuff without blowing everything white

Different monitor setups perhaps? Out of the box some screens aren't calibrated well.

Some graphics card drivers (ATI ones imo) don't work well with ignorehwgamma 0. You get devicegammaramp errors and all this + it's really dark.

Setting hwgamma 1 seems to fix this, but then it prevents the usage of r_gamma.

People without such drivers can use ignorehwgamma 0 without issue.

Brightness is controlled by:

r_gamma
r_ignorehwgamma
r_mapOverbrightBits
r_overBrightBits
r_vertexlight (0/2)
r_enablePostProcess (0/1)
r_enablebloom (and bloom related cvars)

r_lightmap (0/1)
r_fullbright (0/1)
r_intensity
r_contrast

Display brightness
Brightness settings in drivers

By far the most important cvars are the first six I listed.

I recommend leaving lightmap/fullbright/intensity/contrast at defaults (0,0,1,1 respectively), and disabling bloom. Use the rest to determine what works for you.

From what i can remember he use enablepostprocess 0,mapoverbrightbits 1,overbrightbits 1.

My tip is to enablepostprocess 1 so you can raise gamma over 1.0 without it being fucked.

Try set the hertz to the same as your screen is, (r_displayRefresh 0).

I saw it coming...

...through the walls?

with qlprism running native on w8, no active ql color correction is needed. thus can change gamma without it, as long as r_overbrightbits doesnt go beyond 1.
with chrome or other browser, active ql color correction is needed, unlesss u run firefox with compability options set, which u cant on certain/most chrome versions as they are incompatible with that (probably all of them).

The best thing to do would to get a petition for nomip going and do without r_overbrightbits.

I don't know where to begin with how strange what you just said is.

Did you reset to default before execing k1llsens cfg? Perhaps another config (autoexec?) is having an impact or a missing cvar from k1llsens cfg is not set to default
