Colour problem in the demo

[Clarth]

Hi
I have a problem with the colours in the demo. For some reason it looks like it uses only 256 colours no matter what I choose in the setup, but all other effects and resolutions work as they should. The game runs smothley.
I have an AMD 3ghz with 1gb ram and a Radeon 9800 pro. Thanks for any help.

Maybe its running in 16 bit... Is your desktop set to 16 bit color?

I had a problem with ugly backgrounds and lots of color banding within them. It wasn't that the game was running in 16-bit, it was that I had a bunch of override settings for 3D enabled in Catalyst Control Center (I have a Radeon X1950GT). I turned them all off and the game began looking as it was intended.

Great to hear!

Say, what did you change. I have most of my catalyst stuff set to the application to choose but I can't seem to find any that effects colour.

Here's what everything looks like under my "All Settings" menu.





When things were messed up, "Use application settings" was unchecked for everything and I had everything set to the max. I'm not sure what in particular was causing the problem.

I can't say for certain what you are experiencing is the same as I did, but it sounded a lot like it.

Holy cow, I've fiddled with the controls like crazy but it didn't work untill I set them just like you. Thanks so much, now I can finaly test this game. Awesome.

To be a bit more specific, for me the culprit was the catalyst A.I. (enables performance optimizations); disabling or setting it to the lowest setting solved the problems with colour banding.
