Hi,

As the fix didn't made it in the last patch. I've made a standalone patch. It fixes the pink effect for AMD users and restore the blue hue effect for AMD/NVIDIA users.

The patch contains two missing cubemap textures for the vitric station map. I don't think it violates the TOS since those two files are missing ?
reddit post with the link

Tech details :
Vitric Station map misses two cubemap texture. It's textures used in reflections and lighting effects.
In that case :
  • NVIDIA users don't get the related lighting effects (a blue hue like in vitric forge)
  • AMD users get pink everywhere.
This mod contains the two cubemap textures from the vitric forge map, with the names/path expected by the vitric station map.

The effect will be a little brighter than vitric forge. But fixing this requires to edit the effect in the map. This will be done when the fixed map is released by PGI.

A temporary fix I found is when I first sign into the game, I go to the Vitric Station training grounds. The first time I enter, everything has a pink hue. I then exit back to main MWO screen. Every time I enter past the first time shows me a corrected screen. It only happens the first time I enter map once I sign on. If this does not work, just change screen to infrared where everything is black and white.

I do it the same since i recognized that it only happen the first time the map starts but thx for the patch, works perfectly. I also did a research a time ago and found out that somehow the cry engine shows pink textures if the needed texture is missing, if i understand it correctly, but i dont know how to get further with this Info. THX again for the patch MrVaad !!!
