 The reason for this strange behavior is the following: The original game is asking the hardware to adjust gamma values directly. As hardware gamma affects the entire systems graphics output, all connected screens are affected (brightened up), which usually is not a desired effect. Therefore modern drivers usually refuse to enable such a feature, hence EF keeps being displayed darker than intended, as well. The reason for this strange behavior is the following: The original game is asking the hardware to adjust gamma values directly.

-By default, EF has a rather limited selection of possible display resolutions available in the menu. This by no means reflect the actual abilities the game has, when it comes to resolutions. EF is based on the [[..:Quake 3 Arena]] engine. So you can use the [[en:troubleshooting:Q3A Graphics Hack]] to play EF in HD or with **wide screen resolutions**. The two relevant config files are ''efconfig.cfg'' (for the single player) and ''hmconfig.cfg'' (for the multiplayer), see also section [[..:star_trek_-_voyager_elite_force#Location of the config files]]. For mods (e. g. pinball) the config stored in the mod folder may also have to be modified.+By default, EF has a rather limited selection of possible display resolutions available in the menu.

-The network settings can be influenced by the **Data rate** setting. **LAN/Cable/xDSL** will probably be the right choice. But actually it is recommended, to set that manually in the configuration.
