It's a long-ish story as to why, but I'm working on getting a copy of Starsiege: Tribes running on an emulated Windows 98SE via Dosbox-x. At launch, the game's gamma is set to maximum, and resets it to maximum after trying to change it in the options menu.
I've found a file that looks to govern this (defaultprefs.cs) and reduced the default gamma value, with no luck–it resets the value in the file to 20 on launch, and still forces max gamma when I set it to read-only. All the appropriate drivers are installed and everything.
There doesn't seem to be much existing documentation for this issue (given its extremely specific context, probably), so I'm pretty much flying blind. Thanks in advance for any help!
