Increase Gamma or Brightness

Awhile ago I took a break to wait for the last DLC and now that I’m back I have a game-breaking gamma/brightness issue. It’s to the point where its straining my eyes to play this game.

I’ve looked all over the the WH Forums, The STEAM Forums, Reddit, STEAM guides, and searched through google but there is absolutely nothing telling me how to increase brightness in-game besides r_gamma/brightness in console (doesn’t work) and upping my own PC brightness (too much a hassle just to enjoy one game for a bit). In the night I can’t see a couple feet past a light source and the light sources themselves are very dim and effectively useless. Anyone holding a torch or lantern is still dark and I can really only see the light source and the hand of who is holding it. Another example is that a tavern can be unnavigable in night time and during day time is still difficult to walk through.

During daytime a little bit of shade becomes a black void to whatever and whoever is in it and I can’t see soldier’s faces under their helmets and its infuriating me.
I should be able to increase my own game’s brightness and gamma and I see no good reason why it isn’t available. This seems like a major oversight.
