so to the point, I thought I share this with you fellow capsulers

game starts all the colors are messed up, this is on character selection, in hangar and in space
just to give you an idea, space in pinkish and other stuff is teal and discolored

this happens only while shader quality is set to HIGH, on MEDIUM and LOW looks and works fine

to fix this odd behavior reloading your GPU driver wont cut it

the proper fix is to run CCP's repair tool, if you getting error while launching it download newer version from the sticky post and drop it to your game folder and launch it from there, log back in, switch shader to HIGH and enjoy shinys!

Late comment ....

I experience this problem now, i was glad to find this solution.

But ....
- Starting the repair tool, downloads a new version (nice)
- Repairtool repairs only the Launcher (hm?)
- After repairing is done, starting the Launcher, it updates the launcher (wtf!?)
- Launcher completes updates and starts full checks the game files (nothing to fix)
- Starting the game with the same messed up color problem

So ...
Would be nice removing or updateing the repair tool and fix this shader in high quality problem.

What i have changed to run in this problem:
- Grafics driver update GeForce GTX 660 Ti 320.18 DirectX 9
- For this update i have to install SP3 for my WinXP Pro
- Oh and the latest game patch i got this morning

Thats all.
Turning the shader quality to medium remove the color mess, but cant be a fix.

UPDATE
I updated the Driver to version 320.49 and the colors are normal again in high shader settings.
No problem on CCP side.
