I came here,not to add something to the community, or change the game or anything,I came here to vent.
I came here to vent because after several months of my computer being broken,I fixed it,and logged onto it.
I go to open warcraft 3,which I have played for at least 8+years, and it makes me update.
a 27 GB update for a 3 GB game? a little odd but okay,and now I have the reforged client running classic because I dont want to pay 30$ to play the game I’ve played for nearly a decade.
there’s a problem though. my screen is pretty dark,I have to turn up the brightness on games to see them right because even with the screen at max brightness it’s hard to see.
But do you know what you cant do running classic version without paying for reforged? you guessed it,change the brightness. I cannot change the brightness setting so I can see the game I’ve played for years,unless I pay 30$ for an upgrade I dont want. thank you blizzard.
well, that’s just the 1% of the things you can’t do anymore^^
wait to see the rest^^
Actually, you can’t adjust the brightness/gamma in Reforged either. It’s their only game where you can’t manually adjust brightness/gamma (on PC) other than Hearthstone.
Warcraft III never supported changing brightness and classic is as bright as it was in legacy versions. When Reforged first released the classic graphics were significantly different but that was because more “correct” (at least it seemed so mathematically) lighting was used unintentionally. This was patched and now classic graphic mode looks as good as 1:1 with what it did in legacy versions.
If you are referring to gamma then gamma is not brightness. You can still change that, like with all Blizzard games, even though you should not. Like all Blizzard games and even legacy versions of Warcraft III the gamma setting can only be changed when running in exclusive full screen mode because it uses the legacy DAC LUT API which in modern times is meant to only be used when dealing with colour space corrections at a system wide level as it is set per display output rather than per application.
