[Lemonking]

my Card isn't displaying the right colours in games dark areas have a purple tint...it's ****ing annoying please  Obi Wan Kenobi you are my only hope....

Does it flicker to that? Or does it just look like that?

Corruption? Check your card isn't overheating.

If you have a CRT then it is likely that the monitor is losing one of it's color guns, in which case you would have to replace the monitor, easy to check borrow someone's monitor and see if the colors go back to normal.

I fiddles with the monitor settings its a lil better now...I have a LCD btw.

The fact that we can see the purple tinge in your screenshot means that it's not your monitor.

Don't mind if I ask, but... is that purple tint supposed to be there? If it shows up in the screenshots and not just on your monitor, something tells me that the gamemakers might have intended for it to look that way; perhaps you can do a quick check on their forums.

If the screenshots match screenshots from game reviews, then that's even more reason to believe that there's nothing wrong. I'm not sure if video card adjustments to the video output are applied to the video stream from which screenshots are taken; if they are applied to the screenshots as well, you could play around with video driver settings and see if it helps any.

maybe I'm being paranoid but honestly I'm having the same issue in Dead Space.

Yeah, you probably want to open up video overlay settings in your graphics driver and see if something is set oddly. Check if the gamma and colour temperature are right (9300K would look more bluish than 6500K), and if hue and saturation settings are off-kilter.

[wolkec]

also get the latest drives, that helps sometimes

Looks normal to me.

RTFM.
