captain_dalan Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Last night i updated both DCS OB to the 30.09 version and updated my NVIDEA drivers to the latest version. Having done all that, i deleted the metashader and fxo folders. Restarted both the PC and DCS. And two things happened. 1. The gamma slider no longer works in the main menu, but it does inside a mission. 2. The Sun lost it's glare. It's now just a white circle in the sky. Ran repair. Tried reverting to the old drivers. Deleted the folders again. Nothing helps. Anyone know what this is all about? And is there a remedy? It's a first time something like this happens to me Cheers all and safe flying! :thumbup: Edited October 1, 2020 by captain_dalan Modules: FC3, Mirage 2000C, Harrier AV-8B NA, F-5, AJS-37 Viggen, F-14B, F-14A, Combined Arms, F/A-18C, F-16C, MiG-19P, F-86, MiG-15, FW-190A, Spitfire Mk IX, UH-1 Huey, Su-25, P-51PD, Caucasus map, Nevada map, Persian Gulf map, Marianas map, Syria Map, Super Carrier, Sinai map, Mosquito, P-51, AH-64 Apache
Flappie Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Hi. Please try this 1/ Rename your C:\Users\your_name\Saved Games\DCS (or DCS.openbeta) folder into "DCS_backup". 2/ Launch DCS and see if the issues persist. ---

Taz1004 Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 1. The gamma slider no longer works in the main menu, but it does inside a mission. I don't understand. You're obviously changing the slider in the main menu. Are you saying the changed value doesn't stick when you start the mission? Or are you expecting gamma to change the main menu screen?

captain_dalan Posted October 3, 2020 Author Posted October 3, 2020 Or are you expecting gamma to change the main menu screen? Is there a reason i shouldn't? :huh: Modules: FC3, Mirage 2000C, Harrier AV-8B NA, F-5, AJS-37 Viggen, F-14B, F-14A, Combined Arms, F/A-18C, F-16C, MiG-19P, F-86, MiG-15, FW-190A, Spitfire Mk IX, UH-1 Huey, Su-25, P-51PD, Caucasus map, Nevada map, Persian Gulf map, Marianas map, Syria Map, Super Carrier, Sinai map, Mosquito, P-51, AH-64 Apache
Taz1004 Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Is there a reason i shouldn't? :huh: Yea, because gamma doesn't effect main menu screen. Only during mission or flight. Better Smoke - Better Trees Caucasus - Better Trees Syria - Better Trees Mariana - Clear Canopy Glass
captain_dalan Posted October 3, 2020 Author Posted October 3, 2020 Yea, because gamma doesn't effect main menu screen. Only during mission or flight. Odd.......

Glide Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 You may want to check if you have enabled Nvidia Gamma in the Nvidia Control panel. If you do, the slider in DCS has no affect. Also, you don't want Nvidia Gamma enabled because it makes low light conditions horrible. You get banding and the stars disappear completely. Let DCS handle Gamma.
