I have played windows version and find the colours really bright and colourful, but when I play the mac version the colours are dull. This only appears when playing gw2, is this happening to others who play? If not then what could I try to change this?
Hi Reece,
I was surprised to see your post. Other folks in the office here often walk by my desk and comment on how vivid and vibrant the game world appears on the my iMac and MacBooks (which obviously have built-in Apple monitors). Since I don’t know what kind of Mac you’re using, I’m not positive what you can do about this, but others have posted two good suggestions and I have one more.
First, I would try adjusting the brightness in the “Displays” panel of the System Preferences. I have the slider on my iMac cranked up all the way to the right.
As others have suggested, I would also check your color profile, which is likewise located in the “Displays” panel (though you’ll need to click on the “Color” tab). Depending on your machine, the default profile might be called “iMac” or “Color LCD.” If you use a special profile for CMYK printing or some other purpose, there’s a good chance that this might be having a negative effect on the appearance of the game.
Finally, I would try tweaking the in-game Full-Screen Gamma. I have mine set to 1.20, and as you’ve seen, it’s easy to over do this, making for a washed out appearance, so you’ll want to make small adjustments.
I hope this helps!
