Default

I prefer to leave the drivers as is -- no profiles. And change the game
settings (including color corrections) in game, with an autoexec.cfg file.

That way I can back up the file and always have my settings --- instantly.
Whether I reinstall my OS or reinstall the game.

If you update your drivers, there go your profiles. Or if you change from
Nvidia to ATI, etc.

An autoexec.cfg is your best friend in any Id Software game. I used the
same autoexec.cfg file for Quake 3 in probably 5 different PCs (including
sending it to work) -- I simply put that in the right place in the game
directory and BOOM -- game settings are the same as they always were.

You could also back up your doomcfg.cfg file as well. But that can be
overwritten by the game.

r_gamma 1.8 (default is 1.0). By doing this, it was not ridiculously
dark, nor was it too light to destroy the atmosphere.

If anyone finds the game too dark, adjust r_gamma


yeh...and if anyone actually pays attention to "stuff" they'd remember

that all
the pre-release official gameplay movies were nowhere near as dark as the

game
is "out of the box"
Easier to set up a doom3 colour profile via the NV control panel..
I have my gamma set at 1.94 for Doom.
