:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

When the game starts in fullscreen mode, the intro cinematic is in a brown/sepia tint, and the game itself is in a blue tint filter. This return to normal when the game is displayed in windowed mode. Also when the windows 10 volume scroll appears over the game screen temporary return to normal.

Additional Information:

I haven’t played the game since January (in that moment the game colors were fine). Now I’m returning after updating to the last version and I’m finding this bug. I tested updating the AMD drivers and the bug persists. Trying rollback the graphic drivers until I found an old version from May of the last year and the game color are displayed correctly, but with a framerate stuttering and temporary freezes.

I have this exact same problem! I made a thread late last year & no-one bothered to fix it…

For what I’ve tested, looks like some kind of conflict between the graphic drivers (in my case 20.11 AMD drivers onwards) and one of the game updates. I’ve also made a report to AMD…

If you are using an AMD graphics card, try to use and old drivers version (in my case, 20.10.1 is working fine)

I’d rather play windowed mode as a temporary fix for now, because I need updated drivers to prevent lag on other games (FIFA).
