Yellow bloom covering screen

[marieah223]

When launching the game the screen and all graphics (even the opening cut scene) are covered with yellow. Have tried messing with the display and graphics settings and cannot seem to change this. Tried multiple fresh installs. Please help. I need to shake the rat, I NEED TO SHAKE THE RAT. I cannot see the rat. I cannot see anything but piss yellow.

Hey there,

We're currently investigating this issue, as we've received a few similar reports.

We haven’t yet been able to reproduce the problem on our Nvidia or AMD test systems. However, there is evidence that this is a common issue with Unreal Engine games running on Intel Xe graphics cards.

If you're using an Intel Xe GPU, it's likely due to a missing shader that Unreal Engine relies on, which causes everything to appear with an orange glow. You can find more details on this here: Unreal Engine Forum Thread. https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/skylight-affects-all-actors-on-the-scene-with-pink-red-glow/591590

If you do have an Xe GPU, we may be able to implement a fix.

Could you confirm which GPU you’re using?

Thanks,
Sunscorched Studios

I am running on Intel Iris Xe!

Was able to get the game to run without the yellow bloom by using -dx11 as a launch option in steam!

nothing will keep me from shaking the rat

That is fantastic to hear! We've identified a fix for XE cards, without needing to switch direct X versions, as whilst we included fallback support for DX11 we can't provide technical support for it.

We'll reply here when the new patch is out.

Thanks,
