Anything you find suspicious, things that crash your client, things that crash the server, anything that doesnt work as it should.

Having a problem rendering colors

Post by Viola »

Okay I need to know what the problem is here. I see some of the colors in this game as ugly mishmashes of colors that will NOT layer but instead outline weirdly and have blobs of strange tones that mutate and appear.

I have a GeForce 7900 GT. All this time I thought these nasty colors were just how they really were and people were just weird or silly and liked strangely outline colors with weird blobs of tone showing up in the middle and everything looking seriously unnatural.

Is it that my video card cannot handle UO, which is difficult for me to believe because it handles WoW and other games just fine, and as far as graphics goes UO is pretty darn simple! Or do I have corrupted color files and it just doesn't work for me? I have direct X 9.0c, do I need to update that?

This is what the Hue Room looks like to me:

What do I have to get to get normal color layering? Imagine my surprise when I was told those puke colors off to the left actually looked NICE to other people and were -solid- colors and not bizarre outlines with color blobs. I'd sure like to be able to see the colors the way they can.

That's how it's supposed to be, as weird as some of them look.

Hehe, this thread really got me laughing.

Yes some of the hues we have are very odd, but they look differently on different items, so some hue which might seem completely boring or ugly on one piece of equipment, might look much better on a different kind of equipment.

So yes, that's how they should look :)
