Brightness setting in game has no function. #20

Hello!

First I'd like to say Thank You to the developer for this wonderful new engine that brings D3 into the modern age! Unstretched widescreen support. It's simply AWESOME!

Tonight I gave it a quick playtest, it works fine in Windows 7 (yes, I still use it occasionally) as well as Windows 10. However, the brightness slider in the options menu does not function. While I can set it to a higher or lower value, it does not affect the image output at all.

While the game is perfectly playable in Win7, as the pre-set brightness is just right, in Win10 it is extremely dark (at least for me), so dark in fact I can't make out the text on the main menu buttons and in-game levels are way too dark to see anything.

No matter what settings I tinkered with in the NVidia CP, I could not get the game any brighter. Not sure why that is?

Descent 3 did gamma adjustments by changing the global device gamma ramp, which I don't consider acceptable for a game to do today. I'll have to implement brightness through a shader function, and I have some ideas on how to do it.
