Brightness Problem?

[The8thStreet]

Hello!

I've been having a problem with the brightness in Amnesia lately. To me, it seems like when I am playing, the parts of the map that are not lit up are really, really dark. I can't even see where I am going if there is a really dark area. I tried to simply turn up the gamma, but that does not help, as it only makes the bright areas brighter and the dark areas receive no change. I looked in the troubleshooting guide, but my problem does not seem to be directly covered. The weird thing is, whenever I record gameplay and watch the recording, you cannot see that there is a problem with the brightness at all! Why is that?

Please help! I have a Youtube channel in which I post a lot of Amnesia videos, but I cannot continue to do so if I can't even the play the game half the time.

My operating system is Windows 8 64 bit and I own a laptop.
I have attached my HPL.log to this thread.

Thanks in advanced!
