Can anyone tell me if it's normal for the in game brightness control to have no affect when in borderless game mode? Mine does nothing whatsoever. Works as normal in full screen mode, but does nadda in borderless. The game is stupidly dark in borderless mode. In full screen, it's fine, with the brightness control set around centre, but in borderless, the game is way too dark and the control does literally nothing. This is also on a completely vanilla, fresh install as well. Thanks.
It's a brand new, fresh install... like... asking me to go to the Academy fresh.. LOL. What on earth is going on here? This would be funny if it wasn't eating up my entire day.
All other games in borderless allow brightness control, so this is TSC specific, and not an OS issue. Anyone got any ideas?
Can't try for you at the minute, as I am at work. But I do remember having this issue on some older games, but it's really going back a while. If you wanted to play in any kind of windowed mode, the brightness was limited to the monitor and or gfx control panel. Which meant any changes you made were global, rather than game related. Was going to ask why you were not in full screen, the I read the AP thread
No.. it still does the disappearing to the task bar thing, but it doesn't OOM. The issue is now, I can't adjust the bloody brightness in borderless mode.... so I may just have to put up with it. Still working on it.
Apparently... if you install the sky & weather EP v2 you have to run in borderless mode. The manual has been updated. There's an issue that some scenarios will cause the game to drop to the taskbar when loading, and this is causing some issues. I hate borderless, and forcing everyone to use it is just pants. That's for another thread though. I tried other games, and when running on borderless, I could still change the game's brightness. It just seems to be TSC.
That’s progress at least, and gives you the option. I’ve been playing around with resolution scaling which requires full screen to work so am sticking with it. It’s not ideal but I can’t get too excited about hitting Alt+Tab every now and again. The game is running (and looking) the best it ever has so I’m a happy camper for now. I don’t think DX9 can be pushed any further. I have every sympathy with your frustrations though. I’m putting my head on the chopping block here, but when I checked the latest manual this morning it did not say to run in borderless mode anywhere. In one of the images with suggested settings the game was in borderless mode when the shot was taken, but that particular setting is greyed into the background and other settings are highlighted. I don’t believe the intention of that image is to tell you to run the game in borderless mode, anymore than it’s telling you to run it in 1600x900 resolution. I can’t find any other reference to running the game borderless beyond that.
Yeah, I checked the ‘live’ manual right after I posted that and that’s what I saw. I’ve just looked again and it has since changed, now saying to use borderless if the script window causes full screen to minimise to the task bar.
Hmmm... the reply said, "We have now updated the advice in the manual to reflect this." I assumed the text had been changed in some way.
Yeah, I'm not using borderless, it sucks. I also can't get fixed AP weather to work in quick drive now, even with a fresh install. I think I'm done with it. I bet I can't get a refund though.
for me i only run borderless and it looks awesome now with AP 2 brightness sliders are working i try to figure out what could be the problem on your system but i dunno i could post my rwe 2 settings maybe it helps ? i installed for example manually all time of day entrys for the german routes and they work for english routes is not necessary because AP installs them right there where it belongs too. can it be that maybe your reshade settings are responsible for that ? below i post my settings cheers
and my reshade settings what a gpu you have ? if you use gsync than set it to borderless and fullscreen or disable it like i do
You're the second person to tell me this. It doesn't work in borderless. I'm not using RWE2 No, as I'm testing all this on a new, vanilla install with absolutely no 3rd party content. GTX980
try to uninstall with DDU your gpu driver and do a fresh install from 528.49 like i have because the newest driver is causing some problems for many people ( voltage ) and i wait for a hotfix until then i stay on this
PH Have AP changed the Dynamic cloud settings - it used to have to be unticked. With the brightness issue, wrt nVidia cards, adjusting the Desktop Colour settings in the NVCP helped with the TSC settings - which like you state were not as bright as they could be.
Turning off Dynamic Clouds was suggested so any scenario that uses a 3D weather blueprints falls back to the core 2D RW_* blueprints which then use AP's 2D weather. If you leave it on, you'll use SilverLining for QuickDrive and scenarios which use 3D weather.
Ahhh.... that gives me a another tree to bark up regarding this issue. I've just posted in the other thread, but graphic settings keep resetting, so Dynamic Clouds keep switching itself back to on, which is why I have no AP weather in QD. Something is very wrong with my system that needs a deeper looking at.
Already long established (as of last week lol) that brightness only works in Fullscreen for everyone, DTG even tell us this in the menu..
