I was playing the Coronation Day mission and noticed that the enemy mechs were purple. Later, my mechs turned purple too! The game did not crash, and I was able to finish the mission, but it's still strange.

I've seen this exactly once, in a Mac 1.1.2 game, with the baked-in Intel graphics card; I was not on Coronation Day but a procedurally generated mission.

I'd impatiently clicked on the "Begin Battle" button before it was a button, if that makes sense, while it still read "Preparing for Combat", and when it ticked over to "Begin Battle", the battle scene loaded immediately. This makes me suspect that I triggered some kind of race condition, rendering the scene before mech textures finished loading, perhaps? Either way, for me, a simple "Save and Quit to Desktop", followed by restarting, and "Campaign | Continue" got me back into the mission without the glowing purple 'Mechs.

Yeah, I'd never seen it before either. Just unnerved me, made me wonder what I'd done wrong or was it a bug in the game. So most likely a onetime glitch, and I should just be more patient.

Strange thing is, it didn't happen in the initial encounter with the Royal Guard mechs, or with the tanks. Just when the second group of three mechs showed up and after that.

It always happens with my own mechs if I click "Begin" litterally ASAP. If I wait for the planet in the background to rotate a bit, it does not happen. Still a bug, of course.
