Title: Strange color or darkness after logging
Post by: banane on August 05, 2005, 06:35:28 pm

Hi,
I\'m playing PS since yesterday and I find it very cool!

But I\'ve a problem (bug?). just after logging (loading the map), the colors are very strange (too red or blue or green) or it\'s too dark (in the sewers). I had to call a friend to show me the way to the exit of the sewers!

Then, I walk to find a point where the computer has to load a new map and then, colors become normal. But it\'s difficult to find a way with these strange colors!

I play the game in 800*600 in 16 bit mode.

Is there a solution?

THX

try with 24 or 32 bit colour and see if that helps

i get the same thing when i logout / Crash in the sewers when i come back its even darker then befor witch was Way to dark in the first place as i can\'t adjust the Gama setings as they don\'t have that in game yet.

No, it\'s not that.

It\'s a little bit like the disco bug we had in MB. Seen this at the magic shop when logging back, there was like a green light everywhere, even lighting my character. Then after a while, colours (plain?)shifted... and no I hadn\'t drinked ;)

Here are 4 shots taken when I logged 4 times in a row (right now), it doesn\'t get close to reproduce what I saw before but gives an idea:

It was 12AM in the game every time. The last time I waited for 10 minutes or so, then it jumped to 12PM, started to flash and finally got the right colours.

That looks like what we have had for months now when logging in the game, except I haven\'t seen those psychedelic colours before, it was usually plain black.

And yes... if you intend to leave those dark places where we can\'t see a damn thing, please give us torches! ;)

Current system is:
Desktop 1280x1024, 32 bits, WindowsXP
CB client last update (cfr. post timestamp), windowed 1024x768, VBO off, no multisampling, anisotropy 1.0
AMD Athlon 64, 1GB DDR SDRAM
ATI Radeon X800XL, 256 DRAM
Catalyst 05.1

It?s the same for me when i loggin... there are sometime strange colors like red and blur... or if i start at the sewers it is pitchblack except from small places where torches are... i almost didnt make it out... but when this happens i only have 2 go 2 a loading place and then go back into the sewers and it?s al ok... it?s something thats need 2 be fixed but i atleast can live with it though this only is a pre-alpha... :/

Edit: oh, and except for that, i think the brightness is good overall :D

More colours.  It seems to happen more often in the woods, between the magicshop, Hydlaa and the road to Akkaio.

I was half-expecting to see this:

Hi
I\'m happy, i\'m not the only one with this problem (exactly the same as on the screenshots)!
I\'ll try with 32bits colours but I think i\'ll lag more than now...
