    Reproduction Rate: Unknown.
    Blocker? No.

    Details:
    The color bleed graphical issue reported in the QA build is still happening on scene changes, but not as consistently. As noted earlier, this appears to be only for outside scenes, and only when having transitioned from one scene to another.

    Steps to Reproduce: Transition from one scene to another.
    User Specs: Intel Core i7-5500U CPU, 2.4GHz, Intel HD Graphics 5500.

    What operating system are you playing on? Could you tell us a bit more about the machine you're playing on that you're seeing this?

    Are there specific scenes or states when this happens, and how you remove it? Do any adjustments to your video settings improve it/change it? Could you include screenshots of your video quality settings for us to review further.

    We are having difficulty reproducing this internally.

    Oh, sorry... I meant to include the OS; my mistake. Windows 10 x64 with 12 GB RAM.

    I remove it by logging out and logging back in. As mentioned, it only occurs on a scene transition, so if I enter the game through log in, it doesn't happen. I'm not sure at the moment if it applies to specific scenes. As reported early, in the QA, I saw it on every scene almost consistently. But I'll report back in this thread every time I see it happen with a new screenshot. Next time I run into it, I'll also adjust graphics settings and let you know if that changes anything.

    I'll also get you some screenshots of my graphics settings as soon as I can, but at the moment the Photobucket site isn't loading for me. Quality level is beautiful with shadow distance maximum; all the settings are checked except full screen. Brightness 100% Saturation 25%, Reticle Strength 100%.

    Thank you. The additional information will help us greatly. Not a laptop, is it?

    @Attenwood I'm having the same problem. I'm fine when I log in, but when I switch to a new scene, everything appears like it does in the above photo. Right now, it's transitioning to Central Brit that's doing it for me, as I can't really move around well enough now to try other areas. When I first log in, or if I re-start on the world map, everything is fine. Here's my specs:
    User Specs:
    OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4430 CPU @ 3.00GHz (4) System RAM: 12208
    GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 GPU RAM: 1136
    SotA.EarlyAccess.Win.64.495.Date.10.26.16
    Area: POT_forest_metropolis_01a_template/Aelasar's Forest
    Area Display Name: Aelasar's Forest
    Loc: (160.0, 45.0, 123.9)

    I fiddled with the graphics settings. The only thing that had an effect on the glitch is Use Camera Bloom, although it didn't get rid of the problem.
    Before,

    After,

    I also started to iteratively reduce Quality Level, and nothing was changing, although the game froze and then booted me to login when I switched to Fast, so I couldn't test every level. (Same thing happened by the way when I logged back in switched back from Fast to Beautiful.... this happens).

    Btw, I hope you saw my note that the glitch doesn't ever happen in underground scenes.

    Time of day I think matters, if you see the screenshots below.

    Also, I entered Owl's Rest (POT) and got the same color effect, but the game froze a bit before I could take a screenshot. When it unfroze, the color effect disappeared and the game appeared normal... so couldn't get the screen.
