freespace prob

[sharpeh 0]

I can watch the cutscenes no problem but as soon as I get to a menu/game the colors are horribly distorted.

 

Relevant info:

Tried compatibility mode

Using Win7 64 bit

have the 1.6 patch

have the silent threat installed

Might be the 8bit color issue with Windows 7.

 

Open up Task Manager.

End the "Explorer.exe" task.

Using File Open in Task Manager browse to the game executable and start it.

Color issue should be gone.

Word on the street says that disabling the aero theme/having the screen resolution window open fixes the problem as well. However I rather like the resolution, like being lazy and decided to take your idea one step further.

 

I made a batch file (even used a shortcut)

 

taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe

start /w FS.exe

start explorer.exe

 

I expect you to spread this knowledge in my stead

 

(oh and I can elaborate as needed)
