Red/Orange screen flashing unplayable glitch.

[Spaceman - 2.0]

Hello, I just started playing and when on King of Chinatown the screen flashes red and orange constantly and I'm not talking about that light flashing and stutter. The game turns completely orange and red and flashes as if I had a terrible instagram filter. I can't seem to find anything here regarding the issue. Any help would be apperciated. Thanks.

Does your game look like this?

Are you using an AMD graphics card?

If yes for both, then rollback your graphics driver to “16.7.2 WHQL”
Basically there is a bug since the release of 16.7.3 & onwards.

Look for the “Download Previous Drivers & Software” link, on the right side of "AMD Driver" download page. It’s on the page after selecting your Graphics model & Operating System 32bit /64bit link.

Oh wow I wasn't aware of this. Thanks you for the informations and links. This should fix my other problems I've been having as well. Thanks!

I couldn't get 16.7.2 to install. It kept going straight to 16.7.3 but now I have 16.5.3 installed and the problem is gone. Thank you again.

Damn... anyone knows other solution? Not very eager reverting back to old amd drivers, cause other games require new ones.

The problem has been fixed since the release of driver “Crimson Edition 16.11.4 “. I am currently using version “Crimson Relive Edition 17.5.1” on my Windows 7 Home - 64bit OS with a Sapphire HD7850 GPU & the “Red/Orange screen flashing” problem is not showing up on my system.

Did you un-install your AMD driver properly?
Control Panel > Programs and Features > AMD Software > "“Change”" > Clean Uninstall or just
Uninstall > Then it will ask for a reboot.

FYI – you can also delete the “AMD” folder at C: drive after each driver installation. That folder is just where the driver files are un-compressed to, before being used for installation. They serve no purpose afterwards.

>>>Edit<<< – The flickering exists on "16.11.4" (it appears when you click “restart” from the pause menu). "17.5.1" Has the same problem. Hmm :/

hmm.. when i updated the drivers via control panel, i did a typical install (one of the options given), not the uninstall previous drivers first (other option). Mine is currently 17.4.4 with R280x
Though i am a bit reluctant to uninstall-install them again, cause sometimes amd update center behave strange, plus dont want to lose my setings for different games in radeon settings

btw, thanks for FYI info - that helped me free 5gb of space on C drive

Unfortunately, drivers update didnt help. My problem is: everything plays fine until i die and choose "restart from last checkpoint". Game loads and now i see game scene and character filled with only 3 colors red-white-black. When i make "exit to main menu" everything refreshed but that means i lost my progress and have to start again.
Have no idea how ti fix that..

Wow, you really tried a serious approach! Sad news, indeed... Liked the game, but this glitch makes it almost unplayable (ok, i can play it without using checkpoints, but thats too hardcore for me". Dont think they'll ever fix it, since the game is old

[Erick Cartman]

you can add 17.9.2 at the flickering drivers too. =/

17.9.3 - is working fine \o/
