One line summary of your issue
[BUG] Pink Mechs

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Mechs are pink when loading the battlefield.

Mechs will be normal for a few then suddenly pink when you first land in game. To fix I save and reload. Video card below. This happens about once an hour per play time. (ALOT)

Steps to reproduce the issue
Nvidea 1080 TI
Driver 397.64

NVidia GTX 960 (4gb) 2 in SLI Occasionally the same Pink mech [my side only] same drv. as OP. But it happened only 3 times in 3 days. Then the game failed to function properly for another reason [bug report made]

Check whether you have any apps or utilities running that have overlays (not Steam - that is fine). If so disable the overlay function.

 

[RavenBHK]

I have geforce experience overlay and NXZT (off currently but program open).

I recently updated to 397.93 drivers. I am using a 1080 TI Nvidia.

This so far has resolved the problem. Few changes have occured - The overly seems to be functioning better was bugging out and occasionally stopping working. Could have been a driver issue to.

This has happened to me on 2 missions once was a story mission and the other was a normal raiding mission. other than the pink color it all worked fine and the next missions all was fine.

 

[RavenBHK]

do you use nvidia @KILLMORE? or any overlays? What are your current drivers?

Hi, i have
I7 - 3770 at 3.4
16GB ram
nvidia GTX 660
no overlays i would assume as i do not know what they are

GTX 660 is that within the Minimum requirements? You will need minimum of 16gb RAM , 4gb VRAM, and I suggest a better Vid card.

Some overlays are like Video Capture 3rd party software , Screen shot capture software. Excessive background programs running. If your using a firewall [I hope so] make certain it is Allowed in Program settings - Firewall [if Norton].

That happened to me once as well. I'm on ATI R9 380, Windows 10, and up to date drivers downloaded directly from ati site.

Edit: AMD not ATI.

Same here for a couple of times, but I'm not sure whether it happened before the last patch or after. I haven't seen it in a while now.
i5-4670K
16GB RAM
GTX970
Win7

Edit: on a freshly booted machine I could reproduce this bug exactly as mentioned by scorpnoire
Just click the "Begin Mission" button as soon as it appears (even when greyed out)

had this on mission launch today. 3 hours into game session. 1060 6gb First time in 110 hours of play though

This bug has returned. Loaded into a map. Pink mechs

I met same problem. (not always.)
if I save and load, it fixed.
I feel its happen when I click mission start button early.

 

[KeyperOS]

Happened to me once in a generic kill-all-mechs mission right before the campaign mission at Guldra (I only mention this because another player mentioned it happened on THAT campaign mission).
In my case, it was only my own mechs that appeared in pink and all the enemy ones were fine.

Saving and reloading solved it.

I feel it might be a RAM issue.
My PC has 12GB system RAM but I have a GTX 580 with 1.5GB Video RAM.

I’ve never seen this on mission start, but it happens frequently when mechs are brought in by drop ship, like on a Capture Base mission. Just the dropped mechs are pink—all mine look fine.
