If you’re playing Ticy Adventure Club: Queen of the Spring on an HDR display and finding the game way too dark to enjoy, you’re not alone. This is a common issue caused by how the game handles color profiles on HDR screens. Fortunately, there’s a quick and easy fix that doesn’t require any third-party tools. Here’s how to brighten things up.
Step-by-Step Fix
Step 1: Locate the Game’s Root Folder First, navigate to the installation directory of Ticy Adventure Club: Queen of the Spring. This is usually found in your Steam library or wherever you installed the game. Look for a folder named something like Ticy Adventure Club Queen of the Spring.
Step 2: Find the package.jason File Inside the root folder, locate a file called package.jason. This is a configuration file that controls various settings for the game. Open it with any text editor, such as Notepad or Visual Studio Code.
Step 3: Add the Color Profile Fix Once the file is open, look for the outermost curly braces {}. Inside these braces, add a new line with the following code:
"chromium-args": "--force-color-profile=srgb",
Make sure to place it after the existing entries, like "name" or "js-flags", but before the "window" section. Your file should look something like this:
{
"name": "",
"main": "www/index.html",
"js-flags": "--expose-gc",
"chromium-args": "--force-color-profile=srgb",
"window": {
"title": "",
"toolbar": false,
"width": 816,
"height": 624,
"icon": "www/icon/icon.png"
}
}
Step 4: Save and Close Save the changes to the package.jason file and close the text editor. You don’t need to modify anything else.
Step 5: Restart the Game Launch the game again. The brightness should now be significantly improved, making it much easier to see details in dark scenes.
Tips
- Backup the Original File: Before editing
package.jason, make a copy of it just in case something goes wrong. You can always restore it. - Check for Typos: Make sure the code is exactly as written, including the quotes and commas. A missing comma or extra space can break the file.
- Not Working?: If the brightness issue persists, try restarting your computer or disabling HDR in your system settings temporarily to see if that helps.
- Compatibility: This fix works for most games built on Chromium-based engines. If you encounter other games with similar HDR issues, try the same trick.
Final Thoughts
That’s all there is to it! By adding a simple line to the package.jason file, you can force the game to use the sRGB color profile, which fixes the overly dark HDR problem. It’s a quick, no-download solution that gets you back to exploring the Queen of the Spring adventure with proper visibility.
