Guild Wars 2

I am currently running the new beta client on my 2011 macbook air with 10.8 on it.

There is a weird blue hue on the screen that GW2 runs on. I use the multiple fullscreen workspace feature of OSX, and when i switch back and forth between the workspaces, the hue changes. I get my normal hue everywhere else, but when I switch to the one GW2 is running on (fullscreen, or window. Its easier to see in Window), there is a hue change towards the blue spectrum.

I took a video with my phone, I can post that or email it somewhere. I just need to edit out all my personal details from the video.

It’s been like that with City of Heroes too, I guess it’s a cider’s issue.

It’s a matter of different gamma settings (color profile) between Windows and Mac.

The Cider wrapper switches to a Windows appropriate gamma when it has focus.

The funny thing is, it makes it worse. The colors are all wrong. I wonder if I can change some Cider settings to completely turn it off, or if its a compiled in feature.

You are positive that you aren’t color blind right?

Yes I am quite positive I am not color blind. I will post the video later when I can blockout my usernames and such.

I get this too when using my Macbook Pro’s in-built display.

I don’t get this when using an external display over HDMI. I’d guess it’s a colour profile issue of some kind. It’s a giant PITA though, the colours are super-wrong.

You can actually have fun with it – pop GW2 in a window, and then make it the foreground app. Blue tint! Then select something else – blue tint gone (even the GW2 frame you can still see). Deeply, deeply broken.

You know we can see your account name, right?

I have noticed this as well, but from what I can tell, it doesn’t affect the in-game colors too badly. Game still looks great!

Same thing happens to me.

Did you find a fix for this? I hate the blue colour

I posted on your other thread.

Same. It isn’t an issue though. It’s meant to do that so it isn’t something you can ‘fix’.
