OK, so this is my first proper log-in since the latest patch. I've searched the forums for this but can't find a reference for it.

Space is now blue! Well, a blue/green colour. I've reset my settings & cache, installed the latest nvidia drivers, but no joy.

I'd give you all a screen shot but the print-screen key only seems to want to snap the desktop (behind the game), and the key binding for in-game print-screen is blank and locked - not sure what I need to do there either!!

Any help appreciated.

Is there an Incursion in the constellation you're in?

Screenshots are made hitting the printscreen button, (not the Windows shortcut with shift/alt/control combinations) and then looking for the resulting file in your documents\EVE\capture\Screenshots folder.

Hi Raven, Thanks for the post.

No, it is in all 3D environments: space, stations and character log-in screen. After resetting settings the opening video was also tinted blue. The UI, however, is all fine.

A bit more detail about the blue. It's as if there is a very bright blue/green light in the top right corner off screen and it is washing everything out. All the detail has had the contrast washed out and the detail you can see, such as ship highlights and stars, are tinted red. It almost feels like a very over exposed negative shot.

Ah, I think I saw something about that, I believe it's an issue with new nvidia drivers, let me see if I can find the thread with the dev posts.

A long shot, but try disconnecting and reconnecting both ends of the cable between your video card and TFT.

Setting your shaders to medium should bandaid the issue until nvidia puts out a fix.

Good idea, but sadly not the case, photoshop works fine!

Perhaps last patch was made by DICE?

EDIT: Oops. Solution already posted above.

This is affecting a lot of games and not just EVE.

I'm blue daba dee daba dai, daba dee daba dai daba dee daba dai.
Sorry, couldn't help it.

I do this for many reasons. I do it because I believe it is right. I do it because I will profit by it. These all consolidate into one reason: I do it because I can.
