Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General my game seems to have dropped acid

so i loaded up my game today, and the divinity universe was bathed in rainbows.... it was kinda pretty.
see the colors here
the rainbows suddenly disappeared when i clicked on a teleporter platform, but i had already teleported a few times. my psychedelic world is now plain again.... it was fun while it lasted, though! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I see colours!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohh.gif" alt="" /> @_@
You know, I like that! Wish you could enable it in my game...

yeah, but now i can't get it to go away and it sucks, cause i can't see very much and half the time i'm just a silhouette.

help me.... how do i make it go away? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

this is a case for CSI. Colour Seems Irregular.

have you upgraded anything recently?
did you upgrade your directx recently?
did you update your graphics/motherboard driver recently?
did you install any graphic tweaking software or graphics manager?
any program running in the background?
did the game crash shortly after?
did windows crash after u finish the game & try to shutdown?
what graphic card are u using?

sorry but info is needed before info is dispensed. i wish to help but u have to help in providing more info.

none of the above. i'm sorry, but i don't know my graphics card. i will check and post later.

Is this applicable?

From FIX for splotch problem/weird color areas/fog;

well it seems relevant but i cannot fathom the 45-minute wait. sounds more like monitor problem to me if u need to let it warm up for so long. neve thought a graphic card needs warm up. maybe nvidia uses graphic diesel engine?

faile, have u uninstall any program or game or anything?
did u tweak your PC?
have u try firing up a 3D application or game & see if u have any irregularity with the graphics? u better try this out.

need to do some more tests before resigning to raze's last resort: clean install.

if it's really 45-minute-wait demon in your system, i'd rather do a 2 minute job inserting that splotchproblem 1 in config.lcl which will nullify the need for 45-munite wait.

i haven't turned off my pc in a while, a few weeks probably. maybe i should try that. i haven't uninstalled anything. i deleted a few old papers i had written....

i have a new computer, a dell 2350, i think. i use windows xp. i haven't twiddled or tweaked anything.

one other thing: one of my tele stones vanished, and the other doesn't work. i have been meaning to download new ones, but i haven't yet. could that be related?

you have freed zandalor? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
or emptied the div/run/dynamic/....contents....??

faile use this.....Belarc Advisor

and see what the results are...
it's free, and small... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

yup to both.

what is that Belarc Advisor?

it's been weeks since u last switched off your pc?
well that doesn't explain much .... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

have u looked into the questions i posted earlier? & yes, try switching off your system & see if the rainbow comes back after a day or two .... .

some graphics card uses passive heatsink which means heatsink with no fan. some cards run hot after a few hours of usage. some don't. if it's still new, then try some other diagnosis like running other 3D games to find problems. if u do, then maybe & maybe that 3D card has prob & the newness of your pc allows u to claim warranty.

just do some more tests & then let us know of the result. maybe i'll go to dell's website 2 find out more on the specs & stuff.... .

Well it's not the monitor, becuase otherwise you wouldn't be able to screen capture it.

It looks like a bug with the lighting effect or an overlay problem. My instinct says it's a driver problem or an incompatability.

u're right, what am i thinking? i must be racing with my hood open. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleepey.gif" alt="" />

i read sometime ago it could be related to the alfabit settings in the divinity configurator..
but if it's true i don't know. no harm in trying it out ofcours:D

I have a question Faile - how do you know it is on acid - why do you know what acid is???? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> is the only game i have. i've already played it a few times with no problems.

@carrie: my little secret. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

orange double barrel? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
is it laughing at you?

did you check you windows display settings?
try to run the config tool again?

all i've done is turned off my comp and let it rest. i'll try that later.
