Pink landscape?

**Intranetusa** · 01-13-2008, 02:52

I started up RTW: EB with BI the other day and all the landscape was pink! I hit the show me how/script button and the end turn button but nothing worked. I even reloaded to a different save but everything was still pink.

The game was working fine for me 2 weeks ago...so I have no idea what's going on. :(

That happened to me in Genewars once. I couldn't get it right again, short of reinstalling Windows. Still I think someone found a cure for it for RTW, try a forum search for "pink" in the tech help.

I searched for it - no good. The only thing that came up were pink bunnies and pink elephants. Another person had a pink script problem but there were no solutions either

How did you fix yours? Start a new campaign/reinstall the graphics driver?

Have you done the obvious things, like restart your computer?
Then maybe try unistalling/reinstalling RTW/EB, if nothing else works....

Try this one (yeah, it wasn't under the tech help forum, sorry): https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...highlight=pink
Basically, a reinstall should do the trick. You can run the validation tool to see which files have gone missing or become corrupted, I think.

pink randomly appearing in games is usually a sign of an overheating GPU

Check your tempreatures(speedfan), lower graphics settings, and update your drivers.

You will want to stop overclocking to test things out if you are doing this.
