Crysis 2 Brightness

[gaz]

Ok so i bought Crysis 2 but my PC is not top specs
and only a gt430 Graphics cards
I,ve minimized a lot of setting through the system.cfg file but the Brightness is a joke

Is there anyway to change it??
I have it set to 100 in game but still very dark??

any help please

Isn't there an option (slider bar) inside the game to make the game more or less bright?

100? it seems to me this would mean FULL BRIGHT wouldn't it? :shock:

Yes there is a slide bar but still very dark,just wondering if i could change it through .cfg files??

I can only guess then that your card may be holding you back as well... I read this on a review of that card.

The GT 430 is a sub-$100 GPU designed for mainstream media desktop users

Now, there is another thread going around here and there is a download to make the graphics even better than what they are at the moment... perhaps that can help you as well... search for it.

Where is the ini file?

 

[smarteyeball]

I don't think it has one - I can only find .cfg files

-figured sorta a work-around . . .

Well, i did figure out that if i set the game to run as a 'windowed' application, rather than 'full-screen', i can get it to use the brightness settings i input to my nVidia configuration tool. Not an optimal fix, but a decent work-around.

Thanks ,I'll give it a try and no ,theres no .ini file ,just open system.cfg with notepad++ in Electronic arts\crytek\crysis 2 folder

this is system.cfg for LOW settings (ajust as you want):-

copy and paste it and save as system.cfg
file type all files (i'm sure you know this)

make a new desktop shortcut
right click and add this to target otherwise nothing will change:- +exec system.cfg

eg:-"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis 2\bin32\Crysis2.exe" +exec system.cfg

-is there a 'brightness' setting hidden somewhere in there? That is really all i need.

Brightness

You can try changing these 2 system.cfg lines:-

r_HDRBloomMul=0,0
r_HDRBrightLevel=0,0
to
r_HDRBloomMul=0,3
r_HDRBrightLevel=0,3

or try a combimation of both ie.1,3 etc

pls let me know

thanks
