RevJack Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I too have the Pink screen. Running on a P4 3.0 gig. 2gig ram, 7800GS nvidia card. It was fine up until this new patch (1.06). Help would be appreciated!! Oh, and using Windows XP Pro....Thanks [ February 24, 2007, 12:14 PM: Message edited by: RevJack ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hi RevJack, Can you try running the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode. This can be set by right clicking on your desktop shortcut for SC2 and selecting 'Properties'. Select the 'Compatibility' tab and from there it should be pretty straight forward. Hope this helps, Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevJack Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Well I tried Windows 98 compat. mode but alas, still a pink screen. Love the game and play alot but this is a game stopper with this new patch for me. Can you think of anything else to try? Thanks again for the effort Hubert!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Is your e-mail address in your profile still valid. I can try sending you altered bitmap files to see if that makes a difference. In the meantime can you try the other compatibility modes available as well just to see if that makes a difference? Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevJack Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Yes I have the same e-mail and I will try the other modes and see if they work. I'll get back to you and let you know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Ok, email sent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevJack Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hubert, I tried ALL compatibility modes with no luck however, the bitmap folder you sent worked (somewhat) as the map backgrounds are now the right color when it is not winter (the flag boxes are still pink) When there is snow then all the units are in a pink box along with the flags which are in a pink box at all times no matter what the season, Better than it was but still weired looking....hope that can be fixed. Thanks for all your help 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Ok, I actually didn't send all the applicable files as that was more of a test... I will send you the rest of the files now that I have narrowed down what the issue might have been. Thanks for your cooperation in narrowing this down.

RevJack Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Well thank you for being so quick and responsive to the problem I am having. Hopefully this will help others also. First class service for a first class game!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Thanks and the truth is this was one of the most tested patches we ever released for SC so it can be quite dissapointing when things don't go smoothly... especially on your end as the customer. Ok, looks like I might just have this resolved on my end... I'll send you another email with some instructions for another more complete solution. If that goes smoothly I'll just have to make sure it doesn't break on systems that are known to NOT have this issue and we'll see what we can do about releasing an updated patch fix soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n0kn0k Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hehe i think this is about the top left or right corner pink pixel It worked fine here though during beta 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Great news RevJack n0kn0k, yes this definetly worked fine in Beta but apparently some systems just don't like that pink color so a small correction was needed. If anyone else has the same problem send me an email at support@furysoftware.com and I can provide you with the details on a temporary fix until an official patch update becomes available.

Madmatt Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Okay guys, if you get that "Pink Screen" problem, just download and run this fix file. ftp://ftp.battlefront.com/pub/patches/sc2/Strategic_Command_2_Blitzkrieg_v106_Patch_fixed_bmps.exe You MUST have already patched to v.106 though! This file JUST fixes the pink screen issue, it does not have all the other v1.06 improvements and is ONLY for people that got the Pink Screen. If you didn't get the Pink Screen, you don't need this file! FOR THE GERMAN VERSION SEE BELOW!!! If you have the German language version of the game, you will need to redownload and run the full v1.06 patch from this link. I have updated the patch with the fixed bmp files. It doesn't matter if you already ran the earlier German 1.06 patch or not, just download and run this file. ftp://ftp.battlefront.com/pub/patches/sc2/German_Strategic_Command_2_Patch_v106.exe Madmatt [ February 28, 2007, 01:43 PM: Message edited by: Madmatt ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
