Logitech G910 keyboard changing colors randomly while playing Civ 6

Like the title says. This is a deal breaker. Why the hell does this game affect that anyway. There should be no connection between playing Civ and the colors on my keyboard randomly changing.

It doesnt just the Logitech Software crash...

I had the same issue with Evolve Stage 2. It's an easy fix.

This is a "feature" that alters your backlighting color to suit what's going on on-screen. If you don't like it, look for a toggle in the settings. If you can't find one there (haven't looked to see if it's there myself), you can disable it by opening Logitech Gaming Software -> Settings -> General -> Allow Games To Control Illumination and unchecking it.

I should have been more specific. It changes to the default color and stays that way.

It does the same on my laptop, but I'm not complaining.....

SandyGunfox posted the fix to your issue. It's the way LGS (Logitech Gaming Software) handles some games that have built in profiles. Just turn off the 'Allow games to control illumination' setting and your problem will disappear.

I like it.. its not very random.. at least to me? It changes to the color of your Civ, and when you go to war turns red. Currently, I'm playing Gandhi, and my keyboard is purple.

Welcome to the era of RGB peripherals. It is not an industry standard yet, and every company makes their own version. So you shouldn't expect to see this on every keyboard and mouse.

This is how Razer handles your lighting if you let it with Overwatch.

not random to me either. During a war backlight is red (g910). Peace is violet/ blueish.

Thanks for this info everyone, I know this is an old thread but it was the first thing I saw when I typed my question into google to find out why my keyboard colors kept changing from what they were set to to just plain white, then when I'd open my logitech gaming software to set it back my game would crash, now I know why!

Honestly, I've never even heard of a game being able to change the RGB settings of a keyboard before, that's pretty wild! It's a Brave New World!

@ vulchor I know the feeling - when my Alienware PC I bought 4 years ago did that after buying and playing the first big game on it, my mind was blown lol.
