I guess 2 out of 12 games I have this or a kinda of a off set ghost image of everything when I die in the match ( when it pans out form the cockpit is when it happens the most, also I have noticed when it switches me to spectator mode some times I get a yellow or amber view )

[Alex Reed]

Happened once on Frozen City ... same yellow that flashes in startup of match.

It is a band of yellow. Tilting the y-axis up and down allowed me to see a sliver of clear view above and below the band of yellow. Possible graphic artifact from startup sequence?

The very next game, also on Frozen, I had a clear view but no controls and no BattleMap/Radar. After about fifteen seconds, controls came back but no radar/battlemap for the remainder of the game.

I see this sometimes when viewing others. Try switching around but is always there when coming back to that mech. Last night it happened to me. Only thing that cleared it was pressing tab. releasing tab brought back the yellow. Next drop was ok.

Mine has done it on my Centurion and my Commandos. I have not seen any major commonalities between the occurences.
My OS is windows 7 32 bit, with a AMD 3.3 GHz Hexacore processor, 8 GB ram, and a Radeon 6750 VId card.

I have had this happen only once, it is the EXACT yellow effect I see as my game loads up the new match after the Splash Screen. There is no question this is where it comes from, why I have no idea.

I have seen this screen on other players while spectating often, not to say it is what they see though.

[RenegadeMaster]

For me, my screen is only obscured by a yellow filter (the same one during the start up/drop sequence) after:
1) Dying
2) Entering spectator mode
3) Switching to a second or third spectator (relative to the one I am shown by default)

The workaround for me has been to spectate someone else, and switch back to the pilot that I am trying to spectate.

had this happen to me on forest colony ~start of Nov. OS =Vista 64. Core 2 Quad @2.33ghz 4gb ram Nvidia GT560

Just happened for the first time for me. Forest colony (normal or might have been snow forget which, couldnt see..)

Was able to chat and see my chat, as well as system messages of deaths, but either no one was talking or i couldnt see others' chat.

Pressing tab brought up the team score menu which would make the yellow filter go away, but it would come back when I let go of tab.

I had played several games that session before it happened.

Questions

• How often does this issue occur?
  
• Does this occur on a specific map or any map?
  
• What are your basic system specs? (OS, CPU, GPU, RAM)

This issue did not occur for me until after I had reinstalled the game on recommendation from GM to try to solve all the CTDs I've been getting since this patch. After reinstalling the game, I have experienced it in perhaps half of my drops. Just finished 3 drops in a row with the yellow screen. After the first two, I restarted my client, but still got the yellow screen bug. On normal drops, in the 'Waiting for Players' screen, the screen will flash yellow with wide horizontal bands like on a monitor, but then the yellow goes away. With the bug, the yellow+ bands stays, obscuring hud, radar, and targeting. I can click R, and apparently lock targets, but have no way of knowing I'm locked unless a dead teammate spectating me tells me so. Spectator view on me is normal, I am told.

It has occurred on River City, Forest Colony, Frozen City and Caustic Valley. So far, not on Winter Forest Colony.

This might be relevant.

Since the last patch I've played a little bit every night, at least 8 or 10 drops, and never encountered the yellow screen.

Last night, I played 8 drops, and got yellow screened on 4 out of the 8.

Same 'Mech, same weapons, same specs, same everything.

The only difference? Last night I was grouped with 3 other players and using Mumble for voice comms. All the other nights, when I never encountered the yellow bug, I was PuGing without comms.

Will post liink to system dump and syslog if occurs again, and video capture if possible.

[Egomane]

Happened to me once in caustic, 20 hours ago.

I believe the bug to be HUD related, in that the HUD fails to load part way through. The yellow screen can be observed on each drop just before the HUD loads. It quickly changes into the HUD we know.

When the bug appears, bringing up the team overview will clear the screen, just as right shift + F11. If disabling the HUD also disables the yellow screen, they are obviously related in some way.

If it happens again, I will try if I can find something in the omicron.log file.

[Asakara]

I had this happen once so far since starting CB in August. The issue happened a few days ago from today.

The issue happened on Caustic Valley. I started on the industrial side.

Update - had the bug again, this time on the winter map (forget what it's called).

See attached for dump of system stats including errors in syslog for MWO client and an 8 second vid capture of thhe bug which may provide extra info.

I've experienced the issue. I alt-tabbed in and out a match while it was loading. Not sure if that caused the yellow screen or not. I'll play around some more with it and see if I can find any consistency.

Happened to me just now on caustic valley. I did the same thing: I alt-tabbed out as soon as the match load started, and alt-tabbed back in just as the countdown was hitting 8.
