Have been running UTGOTY for a year plus, P4 1.5 512 ram ATI9600 Pro
driver 614.10.6444 OpenGL XPPro all latest updates just updated to Catalyst
4.5, lost ability to adjust brightness from within UT. I have had good
success with the Open GL you guys have recommended, just changed with the
new Catalyst so I am assuming something weird there, should I try to go back
to an older Catalyst or is there a setting I am missing in UT as the
Brightness slider no longer performs any function...slides nice but dosen't
change anything.
Thanks All

Search the ATI site for an update/patch that addresses this known
problem. This opengl brightness or gamma bug is a problem with
catalyst drivers since the 4.2 release. There was a patch released by
ATI for earlier Catalyst 4.4 version (I believe) that fixes the opengl
gamma problem. I am uncertain if the update/patch works with the most
recent catalyst driver, but it's worth a look. My solution is to use
the 4.1 catalyst driver.

This may address your problem, although I'm not sure.

I've had the same problem since upgrading to 4.5. My solution at the moment
is to have a really bright desktop colour profile and switch to that each
time I want to play.

Just must go back to 3.7 or earlier to use OpenGL and to adjust brightness.

I want to thank you guys, Folk that link was for Catalyst 4.2-4.4, which
actually worked out great as while installing it it kept telling me the
version I have is newer and so it effectively dropped me back a version and
now my brightness control works again (the only wierdo is it won't remember
session to session, need to reset each time, but hey I'm not gonna' bitch!)
Thanks again all.
Joe

Glad you got it sorted, kind of. Word is that it will be fixed in a
future Catalyst release. Of course we've heard those stories
before... ;-)

FWIW, I read a thread the other day at the Rage3d forums site about
the opengl issues in recent Cat drivers, and someone has posted a
registry "fix" that helps with games, but it breaks other things, like
Adobe gamma control.

you need the atioglxx.dll (opengl driver) from an earlier catalyst ver. <4.2
and place it in your unrealtournament/system folder and it should work fine
