Game changing to black and white

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 11:19 am

I've played about 50 hours, I'm on level 23 and have Veronica as my companion. And now sometimes when I enter Camp Forlorn Hope (at least through fast travel) or nearby areas my game turns to black and white, cyan and white or yellow and white. Still the HUD, pip-boy and loading screens have the right colors. Anyone got the same glitch?

And yes, I've got the latest patch.

Different areas are different colors to set the mood of the area... think of it as weather changing. It just happens to change in those areas. The extremely radiated camp searchlight for instance has a green tint when you enter the area. Camp forlorn hope has a yellow tinge to it. That's the way it's supposed to be.. It's not a glitch or a bug. Obviously depending on your t.v. and your color settings this might be more or less noticeable.

I've noticed colours in forlorn hope look almost monochrome sometimes. Not black and white but just different shades of yellow. I don't think it's a bug though. I just assume it's the ambient light caused by things like dust in the air and also the sky being polluted with radioactive dust.

I suppose it could look like black and white depending on the colour settings on your tv

Of course I know about the colour tinted areas and the areas with monochromatic colour palette! This is totally different. It's compeletely black and white, not tinted like camp searchlight or anything like that. The colours in the game are otherwise completely normal. And so are my tv's colour settings. Let me tell you, this is a bug/glitch for sure, there's no way it should look like that. And hopefully bethesda sees this concerning the next patch if there's gonna be any.

The fix of the lighting matter was not in the patch. If you wait for an hour it'll disappear.
