Resetting UI

I logged into CoH today after running Aion Open Beta. To my dismay, my gamma level has dropped so low I cannot make sense of the screen. I tried to navigate from memory, but I'm unable to turn my gamma back up.

Is there a config file I can delete to reset it?

I'm not sure if TweakCOH can edit the gamma, but it's worth a try.

Thanks for the suggestion. There must be a serious issue here as I'm getting the message on tweakCoH of "An invalid argument was encountered".

Unless I can wipe out the UI file, I'm probably going to be stuck reinstalling it.

The Gamma option is definitely in the registry. I keep mine set at the standard 1.0

If you can't use TweakCoH to edit it, or don't know how to change the registry key manually, try using a shortcut modifier:

"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe" -gamma 1

I didn't test that at all, so feel free let us know how it worked. lol

You should be able to change the option in the game once you get it viewable. It should be on a slider right in the graphics options. A common mistake is when people want to turn up all their graphics and they slide that all the way to the right and end up with a screen that is not viewable. That value should mostly stay at the default.

If none of that works, I'd wonder if your video card's control panel has an option that is overriding the game's.. but hopefully we wont have to tweak that far.

Good luck!

I'll dig around the registry for it. Thanks.
