I use the Steam version of FA. I've re-installed it twice with no improvement.

Nice that you tracked this down.

Which version of the game do you have, and from where did you get it?

So I've discovered something interesting related to this problem. If I look back at replays from after early January 2015, the colour problem persists, however, before early january, Seraphim colours are displayed correctly. Because of how difficult replays are to find from this long ago, I can only determine that something changed between January 3rd and January 10th that screwed up my Seraphim colour rendering. Was there an update during that time which could have caused something like this?

Edit: I've narrowed the change down to January 5th.

The problem persists regardless of graphics detail, though I generally play / watch replays with these settings:
Primary Adapter - Windowed
Secondary Adapter - Disabled
Render Sky - On
Fidelity - High
Shadow Fidelity - Medium
Anti-Aliasing - Off
Texture Detail - High
Level of Detail - High
Vertical Sync - On
Bloom Render - On

The FAForever folder with the modified Forged Alliance FAF mods is located in "This PC > Windows (C:) > ProgramData > FAForever"
The Forged Alliance Forever folder with the FAForever executable is located in "This PC > Expansion Drive (F:) > Program Files > Forged Alliance Forever.

I am running Windows 8.1 With Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz Processor, 12.0 GB RAM.
Graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (192-bit)

That's very odd.

Can you list your graphical settings and some more details about your installation?

Seraphim Colours Malfunctioning

2015-03-08T23:35:56+02:00

Hello. I was wondering if anyone knows what might cause a problem I've been having. Lately, Seraphim colours have not been showing up properly. They seem to be mixed up for me.

SeraphimColourGlitch.jpg

The picture shows how these Ythothas colours appear on the models, and the thumbnail in the bottom corner shows the same Ythothas in the same arrangement, but with the coloured icon's showing the colours selected for them in the lobby.

Vanilla colours when playing FA through Steam work fine, but the FAF colours are broken for me. I have reinstalled both FA and FAF twice, with no improvement.

P.S. I posted this in the "Help" forum but am re-posting this here as this seems like a more appropriate place for it. The issue appears to only happen on my end. In every replay of anyone playing Seraphim the Seraphim's colours are still broken, but no one else seems to have this issue.
