Third match after game restart and this happened. Forest map.
The yellow screen issue has occurred rarely while in spectator mode before.

Additionally, alt-tabbing out of the game I cannot regain control. Game displayed but no controls.

Hey! Just seconding that I'm experiencing this issue too. Please fix!

[Fuzz]

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.

Edit: There is no 4. The issue occurs while loading the screen just before you see your freezed mech cockpit. You have to restart the Game.

Yes, also experience this issue with 1.150. It occasionally happens maybe 1/10 matches.

Experienced on first drop after patch (Caustic Valley, Commando). After a few minutes, the yellow disappeared, but the HUD never came up. I had no battle map, no paper doll, no targeting reticule, no FOF tags. Nothing. And my field of view seemed whacked, but that might have been because the HUD was not there. My second drop (Frozen City, Commando), was fine.

[Deedsie]

Just did the last match I was in. I had that film, could barely make out anything. Chat never displayed, nor my HUD.

[MagicM0E]

Only happened once in aprox. 3 hours of play. Makes game impossible to play, but reset its self for next match with no intervention from me. (e.g. no reboot of PC or even closing game client)

[Magnor]

I have experienced this before the new patch. I found that if I did a shut-down in game of my mech and restarted, the yellow screen cleared up.

[S3dition]

Just started happening to me. Shutting down and powering back up doesn't fix it.

[Min0taur]

Can't predict when it will happen...
But when it does, it seems to appear each time I fire my weapons, and disappear a bit later...
Seems related to heat, like the yellow blur appears when the heat rise (firing weapon) then disappear when the heat bar is at it's lowest (no always 0% because of the ambient heat of the planet)... Or disappear when the heat generated by a weapon has cooled down completely...

Also happen after death, when I spectate...

[SmarmySam]

I have played 3 games since the new patch, 1 I had no HUD and the other I had the yellow stripes across my screen.

If we could please get a hotfix for these issues that would be great.

My lancemates are sad when i drop in my 100ton atlas and i'm as useless as a pile of pigeon poo

Also my text worked during this bug, i could at last see the chat screen.

I have eyefinity, three monitors.

Only the center monitor with the HUD had the yellow/amber filter obscuring my vision, the peripheral monitors were fine.

This happened on Frozen City.

Displaying the scorecard would cause the filter to disappear, allowing me to see.

Hitting B for the map would not bring up the map, but would give me a moving mouse cursor and disable my control of the mech as usual.

I could not see any HUD elements through the filter, but could make out the terrain.

I think this bug is HUD related.

[Imagine Dragons]

Hitting "tab" to bring up the scoreboard removed the filter for me...

...until I released tab...

[Anastasius]

1st drop no problem. 2nd drop yellow screen of death.

Logged off and had some cheetos.

[JonQueue]

Just experienced this one.

HUD was yellow screen as mission began.

Terrain and opponents were visible, but very obscured by the yellowing effect.

Minimap not available, targing crosshairs down, hud pretty much disabled, full battlegrid not available. Unable to identify friend or foe. Pressing tab to check score removed yellowing, but only for as long as the scores were displayed, with blocking the screen it wasn't really any better.

Was still able to lock on and fire SSRMs, but with significant difficulty, since I couldn't tell who I had targeted. Had to press R blindly and lay on the missiles until they fired.

Tried to stick close to known teammates and fire on their targets. Sometimes, I was able to use my SSRMs to confirm that I was firing on actual enemies. Still managed to get a kill and survive the match, but this needs to get fixed ASAP - fun as an occasional challenge, but horribly bugged as far as gameplay goes.

[Marcus Tanner]

This yellow screen happens for a few frames at the beginning of every match. The intent is for flavor, I think. It comes up just as you drop. You'll notice a flicker as you enter the map, like you get wen you turn on an old TV or something. That's yellow filter we're seeing is one of those special effect frames. The game seems to hit that point in the initialization routine and then stop.

I'll have to see if the scoreboard thing makes a difference like it did with Xenomorph.
