When the game is in full screen mode the display brightness is inexplicably reduced. I have the Windows brightness setting set to 100% brightness before entering the game.

When I switch the game from full screen to windowed mode the brightness automatically increases. The brightness again reduces when re-entering full screen mode. No other setting is being modified besides the full screen setting and the game is not being reloaded, simply confirming the setting change.

When in full screen mode, alt+tab to focus screen attention to another program, or even just hitting the windows key or opening the windows notifications tab to adjust brightness settings, automatically restores brightness.

This is a base game issue as it happen on the main menu and mid-game.

When I originally started playing the game back in the late 0.15 stages the game had no brightness issues, then at some point in the mid 0.16 game play stages the brightness reduced without any changes in settings.

Maybe there is a setting I missed but I pored over the game settings trying to find a resolution before posting on here.

I have a first gen Microsoft Surface Book, i7, 512GB laptop. I have attached my DxDiag info .txt file in case it helps.

Please Advise

Thanks

I guess a clearer statement would be that the display brightness is reduced to minimum making the game barely viewable during the day and very hard to see even at night while in full screen.

Post the log please.

thanks for the links in your signature, found the log file. hope it helps. I have attached the current log and previous log.

Thanks for the report.
We don't change screen brightness in any way, so I believe it is caused by some "smart" technology like Intel Display Power Saving Technology: https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/commen ... l_devices/
