0 Bazgrim Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Are you on PS3, 360, or PC? Have you tried running the game in Windowed mode if you're on PC? See if that makes the tint go away. Do any of your other games have this issue? Edited March 6, 2014 by Bazgrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dallen Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 This is on PC. I have it purchased via Steam. It does not change between windowed mode and fullscreen. No other games have this issue. I booted up Portal to make sure, and it ran without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The least effort fix for this would probably be to reinstall the game if you have not tried that already. Right click on the game in your library ->click delete local content -> click install again If this does not resolve your issue, please post the specs of your computer (run -> dxdiag and post the CPU, memory, and graphics card) and the contents of the ini file mentioned above. https://twitter.com/IridiumGameDev Ex-Obsidian Senior Programmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Bazgrim Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Do you use any custom ICC/Color profiles? Hit your start orb, type in "Advanced Color Management" without quotes. Click the first option "Change advanced color management settings..." Click the Advanced tab. Make sure everything is set to System default. Each drop down list should say "System Default(someinformationhere)" If not, change it to the system default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What version of windows are both of you running? If windows 8, try running the game in compatibility mode for win7. Attaching DXDiag txt might help because it will have additional information. https://twitter.com/IridiumGameDev Ex-Obsidian Senior Programmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dallen Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I was using Windows 8. I just went in and tried to do it in compatibility mode for WIndows 7. I did this by going into the steam folder for the game and setting the exe to run in compatibility mode. This did not change it. I also tried it on Vista and XP. When I saw pitched_black mention he also had the same problem on a Macbook Pro in VMware, I went off to set up a bootcamp partition to try a sanity check its really limited to VMware Fusion. The first attempt at installing it via Bootcamp was producing an odd error ("App already running" on my first launch attempt). I'm redownloading it on the bootcamp partition now while I'm typing this. I'll try to get you two more information when my class ends, such as attaching DXDiag txt. @Bazgrim: I couldn't find Advanced Color Management on Windows 8. I went into start and also tried searching for "color" without the quotes. It didn't bring up any results. Edited March 6, 2014 by Dallen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pitched_black Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have a Windows 7 instance so it's probably specific to the vmware fake-graphics device and not the OS or settings. The Macbook I found this on has the Intel Iris Pro and Nvidia GeForce GT 750 M chips. Do you still want a dxdiag file now that we know how to reproduce this?

0 Bazgrim Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 For color management on windows 8, type in colorcpl in the search bar. If that doesn't work, search for Run, open it and type colorcpl in there and hit enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pitched_black Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have a workaround! Grab the gfxCardStatus tool from http://gfx.io/ and set the macbook to Integrated-Graphics Only. This has to be done while the Windows VM is powered down. Boot up the VM, boot up the game, and, no yellow tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 J.Burke Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 if it's a vmware specific issue, you're going to have to contact vmware for support. I'd recommend booting into an actual windows installation through something like bootcamp. https://twitter.com/IridiumGameDev Ex-Obsidian Senior Programmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bobblahblah Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I have a workaround! Grab the gfxCardStatus tool from http://gfx.io/ and set the macbook to Integrated-Graphics Only. This has to be done while the Windows VM is powered down. Boot up the VM, boot up the game, and, no yellow tint. That worked beautifully. Running in Windows 8.1 VMWare Fusion as well. At first thought it was f.lux, and then thought it was just me. Thanks for a great workaround - nice find! I have to go poop now. Also, just created a forums account solely to post this reply; thanks Obsidian for allowing mailinator email addresses. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GrahamS Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'm experiencing this exact same problem, running on a Parallels Desktop virtual machine. Problem being, that gfxCardStatus utility doesn't work on my iMac (I also tried the Color Management tip above). Any ideas? I'm stumped. Thank you.

0 barnesy Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'm running this game through a steam install on Windows 8.1 via vmWare Fustion 7 Pro on an iMac. I get the same yellow tint in the game. Anyone find a solution to this yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
