Hopefully we can get a "fix" via patch or mod.
Until then thanks for the link to the Gapa program Hook, great idea about presets!
I made a batch file that can quickly start the game and Gapa, allows me to "one click" change my Gama:
-Download the Gapa program (Hook's links) and place the gapa.exe file in your HistWar folder (C:\HistWarGames\HistWar)
-Set Gama settings in Gapa: make 2 Presets with a Hotkey for each, one Preset with Gama 1.3 (G key, I named HistWar) and one the Default 1.0 (D key)
:note: I used "G" and "D" as hotkeys for no real reason, just as an example, if there is a better choice let me know
Now make a batch file:
-Make a new text file (right-click in the Histwar folder, select New->Text Document)
-Inside the text document paste:
C:\HistWarGames\HistWar\gapa.exe
C:\HistWarGames\HistWar\HistWar.exe
-Save and Exit
-Rename the text document: HistWarStart.bat
-make a shortcut, place on desktop
To start Gapa and Histwar...double-click on your desktop shortcut for HistWarStart.bat
HistWar should start and you should see the Gapa icon on the taskbar
Hit the G key, your screen should brighten
Play Game........End Game.....Hit D key to reset Gama
....something like that....I'm not a programmer so please advise
**one problem** with Gapa running, the G or D key is disabled when typing, etc...so Exit from Gapa after use (I was going crazy trying to find out why my post was missing G and D
)
