Game Issue in Windows - AMBER: Journeys Beyond

[JeffR4]

Hi All,

I'm on a Mac Pro (10.6.8) running Windows 7 and XP in PD 9, and have an odd issue with an old game, AMBER: Journeys Beyond. The game runs great - except that the in-game menubar has no brightness menu. There is one in the old Mac version, so I'm wondering if this is a PD issue. Anyway, if you're familiar with the game, it takes place at night so the game window is normally very dark, but in PD it's stuck at a very bright setting. Happening in both XP and 7. Very annoying. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Hi @JeffR4, it would be great if you could share the screenshot of the gaming window so that we could check and help further.

Sorry about that - here's one. In the Mac version of the game, a Brightness menu exists in the position shown by the arrow - can't imagine why the Windows one doesn't. Any ideas?
