For the last year I’ve been playing lots of classic DOOM. DOOM has one feature that I started to appreciate ever since I learned about it, which is the ability to roll up brightness very high. This is what doom looks like when I play it:
I miss this thing in lots of other games. Recently I’ve been trying to get into Deus Ex (2000) via wine but it was so dark I couldn’t see shit. Maybe it’s my monitor that’s not very powerful or my environment that’s pretty bright by itself, but I feel just the simple ability to gamma correct any game or the whole desktop would solve this problem for me.
Do you know any such util that works on wayland?
If there’s just no system settings, you may try looking into mods, or learning how to manually edit the config file yourself?
It looks like for windows you can use opengl or a special launcher. I’m not sure how different it’ll be for you, but seems to be a common problem so someone has likely found a solution somewhere.
Not sure if Lemmy is big enough for someone to come tell you, but whenever you figure it out maybe edit you post with the fix so this stuff can start building up here.
For Deus Ex in particular there’s this https://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/ Even though it has GammaOffset variable in config I never got it to work (nothing happens).
