Quake 3 Brightness Fix

When playing on newer computers, the brightness may remain too low.  To fix this do the following

  • Navigate to your baseq3 folder.
  • Open q3config.cfg using a text editor like Notepad.
  • Find and change the following lines:

seta r_ignorehwgamma “1”

seta r_overBrightBits “1” (or “0”)

seta r_gamma “1.3” (adjust higher if still too dark)
