Can't Play due to red/orange graphics

[Nishaxo3]

I know that I do not have great graphics on my laptop (not running nvidia, running iris xe graphics with intel i7 and 16GB ram). I went to play this today, however I am unable to play at all as when loading into any world my graphics are bright red/orange/yellow which makes the game unable as I can't see. This doesn't happen in menu, only in the world. Any help please? Thanks!

Hey everyone I have found a fix for this at the moment after trying everything and reading patch notes a million times :D, not sure if its a long term one but it seems to have worked for me.... go to where you launch the game on steam, go into settings > properties > General > launch options and put this in -dx11 ... seems that directX12 isnt playing ball at the moment so have to launch it with directx11... hopefully this will be a long term fix or if not, that one comes out when they can find one. Hope it works for others too :)

I tried this but there is no option under general for me to change to DX11. Any way you can help with this?

I have an ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero with 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900KS with 64 Gig memory and I am using the onboard video Intel UHD Graphics 770 having 32 GB shared memory.

I downloaded and install RuneScape: Dragonwilds from Steam and played many days now. The default graphics the game set performed competently and looked fine. I believe it used DX12 at 4k resolution.

I just updated my Intel UHD Graphics 770 Drivers to:
. Intel Graphics Software Version 25.10.1254.2
. Graphics Driver Version 32.0.101.6737
D3D API Version 12.0
Vulkan* API Version 1.4.309
OpenGL API Version 4.6.0
OpenCL API Version 3.0

Now only while in-world, the game is intensively orange hued. The game menu is not. If I window the game every window outside the game is correctly colored. It doesn't matter if I choose DX12 or Vulcan, windowed or full-screen, low resolution or max.

DX11 does get rid of orange hue but the FPS is low at all graphics settings.

I specifically have not downloaded this game because it was built around DX12. I also suffer from integrated graphics so this is good to know.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, 6GB, AMD Radeon RX 5600XT or Intel Arc A750, 8GB are the minimum graphics its going to end up worse for the players who don't have this especially when they update the graphics which there working on.
