I think you got it wrong!

There are two parts for this .....

The Display_Gamma=XX goes in the command line box, or in quickres.ini file. 
From the top toolbar select Tools/Edit resolution INI file.  The entry 
differes from display to display. My value is 2.5 yours may be the same or 
it may not. The other piece is in your scence source file ....

#if (version < 3.7)
    assumed_gamma 2.2
#end

Cheers Jim
