# I have:

• Restarted the game: yes

• Cleared the cache: yes

• Checked game integrity: yes

• Disabled custom content: yes
   

# Game version

My game version: (2.11.0.16)
 

# Description
My XP-50 has turned Jet Black after the Ground Breaking update. The patch released soon after the update also didn't fix the issue. When reviewing the replay, I also saw that the B-25J-1 was affected as well.
 

# Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Start the game with USA selected so when you first load up, the XP-50 will be showing on display as Jet Black in color.

2. Play 1-3 games and eventually it will go away, but as soon as you close the game and restart it, you will be back at step 1. 
    

# Additional Information
- Issue happened before the patch for Ground Breaking was released, and persists after the 68Mb patch was released.

- I asked the pilot in the second photo if he had the same visual bug and he said that he didn't. The REPLAY chat shows the conversation.
 

# Affected vehicles

• XP-50

• B-25J-1

# Files

You must attach these files:

• Screenshots taken using the in-game functionality [Windows, Linux, Mac]
  - Done. 

• Replay or link to server replay (.wrpl or URL) with timestamp [All platforms
  - Can see issue immediately. Other XP-50s have the same issue. I asked another pilot if he had the same visual bug but he said no. I flew by his plane in the first 5 minutes and it was black. You can also select the B-25J-1 and see that it is Jet Black during the match.
   

• Client log (.clog) [Windows, Linux, Mac]
  - Done.
   

• DirectX diagnostic file (dxdiag) [Windows]
  - Done.
   

• Performance profiler log [Windows, Linux, Mac]
  - I believe I sent the right performance log.

I am unable to replicate the issue.

Are you sure that you cleared the cache directory and verified the files?  This would usually fix the issue you show.

If you have, then it would appear to be a driver issue most likely.

 

Can you please remove the current graphics driver using DDU (or similar). https://www.wagnardsoft.com/

Please ensure that you follow the instructions and use Safe Mode.

Then re-install/install the latest driver and re-test.

 

Thanks

After trying the methods you offered to resolve this issue over the pass few days, I am still unable to restore the vehicles back to their initial coloration. I have removed the driver and ensured that it was on safe mode. I then re-installed the latest RX 5700 driver to retest. I also tried clearing my cache and verifying the issue twice now and it proved unsuccessful.

Do you have custom skins for those aircraft?  I do not have either of those skins as defaults.

[SlavDoctrine 0]

No, I do not have any custom skins for the aircraft.

# Game version

My game version: 2.11.0.29

 

Seems that not all textures are loaded. There is a lot of dark shade. After some while everything come back to normal.

Reinstalling a game does not help. In my opinion it is related to max graphic settings

# Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Turn on game

2. Full settings
