"Color Correction" explosions while Color Correction is turned off

[Zahnny 6,344]

With the recent prep-update for Hearts of Deimos, I'm noticing certain explosions or status effects (like those from explosive barrels) put a weird color effect on my screen, similar to how Color Correction works. I never liked it, and turned off Color Correction but this new change feels just the same as color correction.

I also disabled Color Correction to get rid of these kinds of full screen coloring effects.

[7inchlesbian 11]

Same here, I have pretty bad sensitivity to changing colors so I would really appreciate if this was reverted. 

[VioRose 12]

Agreeded. Being forced into options i disabled is not cool.

[Friede 59]

Yeah, I have this issue too. On slam attack or entering a new room, my screen just changes tint. It just looks really nasty. Lighting seems to also be super broken in general. Orbiter is extremely bright now.

is a pain to play when the screen is constantly changing tones

This force of color correction gives me real bad headaches and it is just plain annoying, especially when I turned it off in game!

I actually thought my settings were changed, but yeah, color correction was still off when I went to look.

Reporting in to say I have experienced the same, particularly with Vauban and his Bastille, inside which everything turns blue. It is quite annoying, and makes things much more difficult to see in general. I will test further to see if this affects Loki's Invisibility or Valkyr's Hysteria.

EDIT: Invisibility and Hysteria are unaffected, but the bug still exists for Bastille, Fire Blast, heavy ground slam melee attacks, and some explosions.

added more info based on further testing

Certain whites seem like NEON bright white and wash out all other color and blacks seem darker... Hopefully it's just a bug on their end with the color correction, gives me a headache just to look at the screen 😞

Was playing with my Ivara and noticed Colour-Correction-esque effects kicking in while Navigating my arrows around.

Played some missions elsewhere and have seen everything form energy portals on the Corpus ships to exploding Grineer Sabotage Reactors also tint-wash colours across the screen.

 

I disabled the setting for a reason. Colour-washing is strenuous to look at for an extended period (like during Invisibility or Hysteria) and honestly it just looks awful to me in general, I can tell it's not real coloured lighting, it's too... 'close', it doesn't blend. It's not something I suddenly want forced back on!

[Mephane 1,228]

Yes, I noticed this as well. I disabled color correction because I generally hate such effects, and now they are back with a vengeance. A variety of things can cause them, status effects, projectile impacts etc.

For example, this is me staring at a wall doing nothing:

And this is when I fire Basmu, the whole screen turns red-ish:

And in the heat of combat, these effects turn on and off all the time, which is really painful on my eyes.

 

Either make this new effect a separate option, or tie it to the existing color correction setting.

Yep, I've fallen victim to this bug as well. The "colour correction" option is turned right off, but I keep seeing the screen's colours randomly changing. It's incredibly annoying (though not actively painful like forced autoexposure) and I disabled that setting for a reason.

[Sinister_Fate 5]

Same here.

There is some strange red screen effect when using abilities.

Especially bad when using Mesas 4.

Only noticed this effect after the Pre Deimos update.

[ZhurZhur 68]

I too have been experiencing this. It becomes difficult to play the game even for short periods of time. Yes I have colour correction off.

[Cubbage 99]

I hope this gets fixed soon, it's really becoming an eyesore.

[Mephane 1,228]

It turns out even certain abilities do this when cast. For example, when I cast Iron Skin on my Rhino, the whole screen turns red. So painful.

[Shoumath 4]

Same, Oberons 4 and Nekros 2 turn my screen so dark I can barely see myself.

[Icebreccer 2,572]

Gonna sign this topic too. Very annoying when playing Vauban because his Bastille now has the forced blue filter over everything and his Photon Strike explosion causes the annoying explosion color effects.

Please revert whatever you did to the color correction setting.

This is just gross and I don’t know how it could have gone overlooked. Another one of those things that makes it seem like devs spend very little time actually playing the game.

This. DE what are you doing? 😞

[Fluorite- 3]

+1 same issue

Lightning in general is broken and what it seems as color correction filter when using abilities and getting hit by enemies

In addition to the previous mentioned situations

Standing in heavy gunners ground slam causes the screen to become reddish

Standing near Muralist tar moa's goo will cause the screen to become reddish

Casting Nova's 4 cause the screen to become reddish

During an eidolon fight when he screams after breaking a synovia the waves effect causes the screen to become bluish

Same here, to "fix" this I disabled bloom and dynamic lightning:

Bloom and Dynamic Lightning enabled

Bloom and Dynamic Lightning disabled

Graphics does not look very good but at least I don't feel my eyes burn.

I've tried that and it doesn't work. By far the biggest offender is Vauban. Here's what the world looks like normally:

And here's what happens when I cast bastille. For some inexplicable reason, it seems to have sucked out enough oxygen from the air that I've half blacked out, but not quite enough to lose consciousness.

For reference, my energy colour is a bright pale green. While the normal response at this point might be something along the lines of "what the hell were they thinking", I cannot comprehend any kind of thought process which would lead to a decision like this. I have absolutely no idea what this adds to the game.

[Fobber 18]

I have the exact issue, and the bastille casting color has pushed me over the edge. I have tried literally everything and nothing is fixing the games terrible color correction issue. I cannot play the game for more than a few rounds of Hydron before I get a migraine. It has been days and not one person at DE is even mentioning this issue, which I find ridiculous.

I have read a few people having epileptic issues and felt a seizure coming from this issue, and that seems serious enough for them to drop what they are doing and fix this, but I guess DE has their priorities set on making sure we know the tennocon relay isn't actually back and it was just a typo. 😕
