I have this weird issue:

When i press "Windows key" and return to game later then my in-game colors change.
When game is launched at 1st then colors look like more deep / brown-ish and after returning from windows they turn blue-ish.

Weird thing is that i was trying to take the picture to show you what i mean... but it seems that colors on the both picture are same (brown-ish) like when the game is started at first.

Never changed any color settings in windows*

Does anyone have an idea what can be the reason for this change?

Laptop Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium
i7 3610QM with Intel HD graphics
nVidia GT650m

I'm guessing that you are running it in full screen mode so the most likely culprit is the GPU (especially if it's switching back and forth between intel and nvidia one.

Try updating the drivers for both GPUs or alternatively you can try using fixed window mode. You will lose a bit of FPS but you don't have to deal with long switching of mode when Alt tabbing.

Tested... "fixed window" will change colors back to normal.

I am still wondering can i keep those colors in full screen mode by changing some settings.

Will google about it a bit more, if i find fix il post it here.

I am still here with the same problem...Lol

1. Fixed window mode does change the game colors back to normal.
(-10 FPS and Higher Temperatures)

2. Opening game and never pressing (Windows Key) or (Alt+Tab)
(Game runs well)

Here is two pictures that I took with my phone since Fnc+Prt Screen will always save pictures in same colors Evil
*Colors after Win key pressed
*Normal Colors
Not very good quality but you can see what I mean.

I am trying to understand is this game related issue and I can't do much about it or there is some settings in Windows that I can test out.
