Dirt 3 Issue

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Hey guys, I recently got Dirt 3 as part of that Russian free code offer that was going on. Anyways, when i installed it and played it, i noticed that there were slight discolorations. For instance, when first starting, the little Steam icon pops up in the bottom corner with the serial code. However, the robotic arm Steam icon is colored in red. Also, in the main menu, the sun is purple/red. It is very odd. However, when i try to take a screenshot, the screenshot comes out normal. Also, I noticed that this only happens in fullscreen.
Any idea what it can be? Any way to fix it?
Thanks in advance guys.


EDIT: Sort of like this, except only on small things. Like the sun (only in the menu), The Youtube Sign, and all of the small buttons and options while playing game. (My name, the split time, things like that) Otherwise, the actual car and landscape textures while racing are prestine.

Are you overclocking at all? Are you using the latest AMD drivers for your video card?
