!Please read! Black Mesa's brightness slider is the reverse of most games. The HIGHER the number or further RIGHT on the scale the DARKER the game gets. If you adjusted it because of the darkness issue set it back too 2.0 while attempting this fix.

I did not create this video why am I reuploading it? Around two years ago I purchased Black Mesa and it was too dark so this video helped me fix it. I subscribed to the channel which only had a few other non-gaming related videos. Two years later that channel appeared in my subscription feed posting around five videos on how to crack different paid computer software. Not sure if it was in any way real or a scam I didn't watch any. Suspecting the channel would get taken down I downloaded this video. One day later the channel is gone along with the original upload. If somehow the original channel and video come back on YouTube I will delete this reupload.
