Quake4... Looks weird. Any help?

[Firegod]

Hi all.

Recently re-installed Quake4 and patched it to the latest version, 1.3. I have tried playing the game with Forceware Drivers 97.92 and now 97.95. However, the game looks all wrong.
At first I thought that it was down to one of the mods I am using, however, I have never had problems in the past before getting my G80 card.
Here are 2 screenshots:-

This is Ultra Quality / 1280x1024 / 8xAA 16xAF

I noticed that sometimes the Gamma settings in the NV Control Panel were setting themselves to -9 ?!?!?! I have since changed these back and they still read the correct figure, but they don't look like they have set themselves properly.

Could I use another tool perhaps? Anyway, those pictures just don't look right. It's as if it's too dark, yet at the same time, it's not too dark.

Any help please.

Besides being sort of dark it looks fine if you ask me. Hey what name you play under online?

Yeah that's the thing. Ramping up the Brightness and that doesn't fix the problem. I'm busy messing on with drivers and stuff for my graphics card. See if I can nail this problem.

Oh, and I don't play online mate.

Well fixed it.

Looked like either a dodgy display driver and/or a mod file not working properly. Looks x10 better now. Yey!

Definitely some dodgey stuff going on with drivers before!

Have to play this soon lol.
