DAoC in Yellow

[OohhoO]

I just finally upgraded graphics from an nVidia 4200i to an ATI X1950 & all the bits in DAoC which should be white are now yellow. Anyone have an idea what I have to (or can) do to resolve this?

 

[OohhoO]

... or if I need to reinstall, can I do it by deleting all but a few files to force an online file-update, & if yes then which files do I need to keep?

I get a bug like this sometimes, Like the cabalist pet goes bright yellow,

However i have no idea why it happens, All i know is if ive been playing over an hour or so i need to reboot my pc and its fixed

:/

For me it's yellow as soon as I get past the server selection screen & stays that way. Looks terrible TBH. When I log out everything goes normal for the last second & looks great.

have you tried the usual, ie driver updates, graphics, mobo chipset.

Yepp
Newly built PC so 1st thing I did was DL the newest drivers
unless there are newer ones since last friday ofc

The Simpsons have invaded your computer!

Driver Detective confirms all newest drivers (except mouse )

Tried uninstalling & reinstalling DAoC but still same problem.
It's like seeing the game through a yellow filter =/

LotRo looks fantastic, but I'm not getting the results I want in DAoC, it just looks ugly through a yellow filter.

I tried newest manufacturers drivers
newest generic drivers
different monitors
reinstalling DAoC
all yellow
when I alt-tab or log I get normal graphics for the last second
I see the ATI X1950 isn't on the list of supported graphic cards for DR or LotM, but then again - no graphic card which is newer than about 1 year is on the supported list.
Other games look fantastic
Just DAoC looks like sh*t

 

[OohhoO]

LOL!
In windowed mode it's OK
Just fullscreen mode looks terrible
I really wonder why that is...

A real shame, I'd heard that ATi had sorted their driver issues. Can always try an older driver, newest isn't always best.

It a bad thing? Would make players more visible, or atleast pets. ^^

You havent tried Overlocking your graphics card have you? Sometimes if you do
'artifacts' can appear, They range from spots of colour to those simpsons you've got there.

 

[OohhoO]

nope
nothing overclocked

windows mode is fine but fullscreen mode isn't, so I guess the answer lies with finding out exactly what the difference is, but I'm not that much of a techie hehe

Have you tried fullscreen but in a different resolution?
