Xbox |Console Companion streaming on Windows 10 is now very dark

MontyGoat · Apr 17, 2021

I was using the Console Companion to stream to my laptop on the weekend of the 1st of April and everything was fine and looked they way it always has.

I tried again this week and it is now very dark and I have not changed any setting but I have noticed the Console Companion has been updated.

Ignoring the fact that the home screen is dark I did try adjusting the in game brightness (Outriders) and it does not go high enough to get it back to the way it was before and actually makes the resolution look worse, kind of like watching an old CRT TV

Is this just me or have others noticed this?

Is there a setting I am missing?

Everything installed is up to date.

thank you, found the option unchecked it now to see if it works for me as unable to test currently, but thanks in advance =D

I don't have that option, only allow 24 and 50Hhz check boxes

No solution yet.

Currently playing The Outer Worlds and turning the Gamma up to max is working OK
