RumblestrutPig Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone, I have a bit of an issue I have always noticed. Could someone potentially help me out? Whenever my main menu loads, the brightness looks great, as if it's default. However, when the main menu options pop up, it dims. The loading screens also have this dim effect. Does anyone know how to fix this? On the original game it doesn't do this for me. Help would be appreciated!

Grospolina Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Your video shows it getting brighter when the menu options pop up at the end. Could it be your monitor? Do you have some sort of dynamic contrast enabled? I always turn that crap off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This only occurs on Skyrim Special Edition. Also, how come I can't change the brightness in-game? Nothing changes if I edit the brightness settings either.

Grospolina Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 What model of monitor or TV are you using? Are you using ENB at all? Or do you have it in windowed mode (including borderless windowed)? I know for Oldrim, brightness and Vsync don't work if it's in windowed mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lighting mod I'm using is RLO, and I have a 1366x768 computer screen for my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grospolina Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Alienware laptops do seem to suffer from this problem. Apparently there's an "adaptive brightness" setting in the Intel Graphics Control Panel (which is still used even if you use the Nvidia for gaming), and there may even be a light sensor somewhere that adjusts the brightness of the monitor. The Intel one is only supposed to work while you're on battery, but some users say that it still happens when the laptop is plugged in. Check this thread on SuperUser (StackExchange) for some possible solutions. Edit: Here's a different solution under Windows Power Options.

Edit: Here's a different solution under Windows Power Options.Unfortunately, none of these solutions fixed anything. :( Although when I checked Windows Power Options, I did not have the ability to turn off adaptive brightness. Nor did I have the option said on SuperUser to turn off that option, for it is only available through Battery Mode. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grospolina Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I don't understand. Are you saying you don't have a Battery Mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
