Question/Help Red dots/shadows over stuff
I just booted the game after not having played in like 5+ years and the interior of the ship looks like this, is this normal? The missions didn't have this kinda red stuff, it keeps moving. Not sure which settings would help.
Edit. I seem to have gotten it fixed by updating my drivers.

Texture loading issue. Using any mods? A restart usually fixes it.

No mods, rebooting game didn't do anything unless you mean rebooting my pc.

I meant restarting the game but you could try a pc reboot.

It's the red plague, you should fly your leopard into the sun to spare the galaxy from this curse.
All serious if verifying game files didn't fix it you may need a fresh install and If that doesn't work go the extra mile to delete every file for battletech on your pc then reinstall. Involves some appdata file searching and what not, there's tutorials online for it

Well I got it to work normally, I think updating my gpu drivers fixed it since reinstall didn't work

Oh shit I totally forgot about drivers lol. That makes a hell of a lot more sense. Glad it works now and that you aren't suffering from the red plague anymore lol

that happened to me when my HDMI cable was dead. wiggle your cables on both sides and see if it changes, flip the cable around if you are able to and see if it does anything different.
no, this isnt a joke.

Well the problem was likely drivers as the game looks correct after updating them like I mentioned in the edit. Thank you for your advice though.

Are you running F.lux or any other similar programs that mess with your screen color? I've had problems with it in the past messing with my games.

This is actually kinda cool. It makes it look like the PC is a T-800.
