PC - Graphics glitch - black becomes blue

Hi all

I'm having an issue where after an unspecified amount of time the graphics stop rendering in the right colours - black becomes blue is the most obvious. This persists after the game has been closed and only restarting the whole PC clears it. 


I'm using - geforce gtx 1080 - latest driver 418.81

No other game has ever triggered this problem.


Any ideas?

Thanks

  • Final update - its the way the monitor gets the 144hz refresh. If you lower it to 120 its fine!

    Glad to hear that you managed to fix it! Really bizzare, I'll try restarting the monitor as well whenever this pops up.

    Find any other fix besides the 120hz. I will make a new profile as well. The issue is super annoying and dont think it is something with the monitor but somehow in this game. Ive had the samsung curved monitor for over a year with no issues in any other game to date. 

  • Just got this monitor today and the same issue with Apex. I've tried lowering to 120, 100 and 60 and still get the colour corruption... I can't figure anything out!?!?! Any help at all.

    OK, to reply to my own post and to help anyone else. 

    I get the issue only when using FreeSync,on a Nvidia GPU, namely a EVGA 1060.

    So, issue could just be (as an Nvidia user) the Nvidia FreeSync implimentation driver, or maybe even a EVGA GPU,I only vaguely speculate there as I have seen EVGA mentioned in a couple of post regarding this issue.

    So yeah, any Nvidia users using FreeSync with this game, just disable it for now. 

    Interestingly enough, I don't seem to get any tearing with it disabled and no software v-sync enabled, whereas with my old basic 60Hz monitor, I did unless I played in windowed boarderless. 

    Hope this helps a few folks.
