Title: Quake III looks like a red/black/orange orgy and puts my gamma at max
Post by: Seb on November 27, 2011, 02:16:05 AM
I open the game and it loads fine. But as soon as I move the mouse, shit happens and makes the game look terrible. I can only close it through task manager, and after that my monitor's gamma get's turned up really high.

I googled the problem and it said something about changing the process' settings to run on one processor. I do that, but it doesn't help and the settings change every time I close the game.

I'd include a picture of the red, black, and orange orgy, but the screencap only gave me a full black.

Does he mean 256 colors? I can get that option.
Right click the exe, click properties, click the compatibility tab.
There should be a checkbox that says "Run in 256 colors"
If this isn't what magic was talking about, just ignore this whole post.

Should it be checked or unchecked?

Because it's unchecked and the problem still persists.

Bump, I don't want to have to connect my old computer every time I want to play this game.
