Red Tint in ET


(hypertension) #1

Some specs:

ET 2.6
Radeon x800 Pro
XP sp2

The problem I’m having ONLY occurs in ET. It does not happen in other games or even in windows, ever.

When I launch it, EVERYTHING from then on, (the game, the startup menus, etc), has a red tint… as if the blue gun inside the monitor died.

I’ve reinstalled ET and my video card drivers.

It just started happening recently.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Try clearing any application-specific settings if you have them (i.e. try right-clicking on the ET shortcut and clicking on ‘Remove Custom Settings’, if it’s there.) I’ve had the custom settings occasionally get fubared, and perhaps that happened to you with the gamma settings for ET.

Thanks for the advice!

Unfortunately, that didn’t do it :\

Best way to describe it is as if it’s in redscale… there’s no blue or green at all.

I’m pretty sure that this is a hardware or catalyst problem. Did you change any of your display properties before you noticed the problem(I’m pretty sure ati must have some kind of colour correction options in your advanced display properties)? Also, have you tried any other openGL games in particular, maybe the problem is specific to openGL. Anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to use a driver cleaner and reinstall the latest catalyst drivers.
