Brightness in fullscreen

The article points out that the game is way too bright in exclusive fullscreen but does not mention a fix. After looking online, I found that setting "Window.Gamma" in \AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\Dead Space\settings.txt to a negative value helps with this issue. The in-game reference picture ("decrease brightness until logo is barely visible") can be used for fine-tuning. For me, I've found that -1.20000000 gives good results. Should this be included in the page...?

sure, go ahead and add it (: under "Issues fixed", probably. you would have to refer to it where the too-high-brightness is mentioned, though

-0.15000000 is the brightness value that's equivalent to the default one (0.50000000) when brightness levels are working properly. This can be verified in windowed mode where you cannot adjust brightness as the brightness section is removed from the options menu entirely or by taking screenshots while in fullscreen. I have added it to the fixbox about the issue in the page and moved all of it to the issues fixed section as well.
