Brightness adjustement problem on Tom Clancy's HAWX 1 (full game) - screenshot

At launch of Tom Clancy's HAWX 1 (full game), the monitor is auto adjusted for
screen resolution and brightness. But at launch of the game, the brightness is
too dark (see attachment)

Wine 1.5.5
Kubuntu 12.04
Graphic card : ATI Radeon 7xxx series
AMD Catalyst 12.6 beta

The problem was already observed using older and stable catalyst drivers
Problem occures since several Catalyst version but doesn't occures in the past

Maybe a regression linked to bug report #17090 ?

This problem of dark rendering remains using wine 1.5.10.
But the brightness option in game menu is now available and operationnal.

By configuring correctly the brightness, after launching the game, it works
correctly and there is no more problems.
After exiting the game and restart it, there is either no problem : settings
are retained.

So the initial problem seems to be due to a bad default brightness setting, at
lauching the game for the first time. The brightness settings are too dark.

The second problem mentionned previously (the contrast remains dark after
ending the game) is due to another bug : brightness settings apply themselves
to the desktop (bug #18391).

So this bug report only concerns the bad default brightness setting, at
lauching the game, which remains on wine 1.5.10

This is your friendly reminder  that there has been no bug activity for two
years. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.25 or newer) wine?

I'm running Wine 1.7.50 and there is some issue about brightness adjustement.
Sometime the programme works without any problems, sometimes not. I figured
out, that the command wineboot reduces the risk of wrong adjustments (or it is
just a unhappy coincidence).

Can you retest newer wine? Also accordin to appdb version 2 has the same issue
(1 test report).

I can confirm this bug is still present with wine version 2.4 on Ubuntu 16.10.
Adjusting brightness and contrast settings in the video options menu seems to
fix it.
