Does anyone else's game appear a little too dark?
How do I make the screen brighter?
I know you're supposed to be able to see areas you've been to before in a darkened manner, but I can't see them at all.
I have an HD 4850 and am running Catalyst CC 8.12, but no matter what I do on CCC Civ always reverts back to the dark level.
My monitor isn't adjustable to any higher either.

Doesn't your video card have a gamma setting in the Catalist controller program? Or are you running the original game unpatched??? it had some video issues that might be what you are describing...

No matter what I do on Catalyst Control Center, the game reverts back to being too dim.

Like the tiles where you have been before turn just as black as the other unknown tiles?  Maybe it's a game setting.  Is it just those tiles that appear dark, or the whole game in general?  Is it just when playing a map, or also in the menus too?

Just the map. Basically looks like I need to adjust the monitor brightness level a bit more, but it can't. I had the same problem with this monitor before, but the CCC version using that AGP card fixed the issue. Now I've got a new PC with an HD4850 and CCC ver. 8.12. It no longer works.

Since I have a new PC and had to install everything again maybe I'm missing some fix I had before. I have the 1.61 and 1.74 patches.
Am I missing one?
I haven't installed any patches for BTS yet though, so I'll go do that and see if it helps...

I think it might be your video card then.  If your computer seems only dark when your actually playing a map of cIV and not on the desktop or in the game menu, where your not using as muc of your video card, then this might be a video card issue.  Make sure your drivers are up to date.  When you run other games do they also appear dim?

I've switched out the HD 4850 for two 9800GX2's. I haven't played Civ yet to see, but I'll let ya know how it goes.
