Title: Problems with lighting (probably is that)
Post by: MishkaL1138 on July 09, 2011, 01:47:37 am

Yesterday, or the day after, doesn't matter much, I started seeing the models like lightened with a pink light. I'm not drunk, it's not a GM playing with fog and my files are perfectly fine… or maybe they aren't.

Please, I need a fix! It doesn't look pretty when I take screenshots, and I love to do that… a friend told me it happened to him too but then it disappeared. But now it's been 2 days, and might be even more, and I'd really love to see the models normally…

If someone had the same issue but now is gone, I'd check the client if I were you. Haven't you tried to repair yet?

@BoevenF: Yes, and apart from sending to the sun my modified textures (D'Oh!  X-/ ), it didn't fix anything.

@Minks: that's what weltall told me to do, and nothing happened.

Onilise suggested setting my graphics to Medium instead of Custom, but… nuthin' happ'nd.

/me hates seeing people pink :( *

What are your pc/mac specs? What OS are you using? Have you updated anything recently, has there been an automatic update? Is it warmer than usual ? Heat can do strange things to both desktops and laptops. When was the last time you cleaned it, could be full of dust, try something like Core Temp to check cpu at least.

Seeing the game world in different colors is nothing really new or surprising to me. But that was always a temporary issue, a mistake in the lighting model, gone after relogging.

If it persists, it may be hard to detect the reason reliably, but it must be related to either your client setup or your graphic drivers / hardware.

Can you show us a screenshot? It might reveal important details about the kind of issue.

have you tried hitting f11 or f12
whenever i have light problems, ajusting the brightness settings makes them go away.

Been quite a while since it got cleaned >.> could say more or less 50º for the temp (C), though not sure.

BT;DT. Tried relogging, checking the lighting files, tried changing brightness… Everything I knew. Nothing.
