Revolt starts in rainbow colors

Unread post by motorhand » Sun Aug 18, 2024 11:26 am

Hello guys,
today my RVGL starts in rainbow colors which looks like a graphical error:

The non-RVGL installation starts as usual.

I hope it's only a Revolt and not a hardware problem.
Has anybody perhaps some ideas to solve this ?

Regards !

???
Nothing changed in the video options?
If The non-RVGL installation starts as usual, it shouldn't be a hardware problem...

No, I didn't touch any graphic or OpenGL etc. options.
And I do not have any other games on this computer.

A new installation did not help.

Now I found when starting the game "as administrator" it works normal.

But when starting as user (what I always did for years) it has these graphical effects.

You say: "A new installation did not help."
But did you overwrite all the files and therefore the previous settings?
Because it still looks very much like something you would have modified.
Especially when you say that Now when you starting the game "as administrator" it works normal.

No, I deleted all data and made a complete new installation.
But I don't know if there are still some settings remaining deep in windows.

Yes I agree, but have no idea what or where to look..

Well, I'm glad to hear running as administrator works!
I'm fascinated by your screenshot, though, I'd love to play a race or two with this effect. :lol:

Which version of Windows are you using?

Maybe try out command line parameters? Open up cmd.exe, navigate to the RVGL folder and run this:
rvgl.exe -noshader -cubevisi
This will reduce some graphical options.

If the command line is too scary, you could also create a shortcut of rvgl.exe, go to properties and add the two additional parameters there.

Just a guess!

Good morning Sauss,
it's Windows 10 home since 2021.

First I tried -cubevisi with no effect, but -noshader makes the game ok again.
Thank you so much for helping me !! Image

There's a comment under your video that also talks about “no shader”!
Cool that it worked!!!
