Strange colours throughout RuneScape

Featured Replies

This was the first i discovered a few weeks ago while on a farm run:

(Location: Troll Stronghold)

 

 

Back then it had a distinct purple colour, instead of the faint green colour now, I didn't think much of it and put it down as a graphical bug but then someone posted on the Post your pictures thread this:

(URL)

 

 

Which got me thinking again, but it wasn't until i went to train smithing two days ago that it made me think it was maybe something more than just a bug:

 

100322152837.png

(Location: Varrock west bank)

 

 

The colour from that one has changed as well, it used to be more distinct but i didn't take a picture of it until today.

 

My question is: Has anyone seen more of these on different locations and what could they be besides just bugs? I don't expect them to be meaningful tbh, I just like to know if there are more of them.

I've personally never seen these odd colours, but it seems more like a graphical error on either Jagex's behalf, of yours. Maybe the developers messed up something with the latest update, or your graphic card is a little outdated.

Yeah, that could be, I was also thinking it could be due to HD. Although I dont consider my geforce 8600GTS to be outdated tbh :P

I would think it's the HD, with all the colours blending and stuff. Maybe look at the same spot in standard detail, see if it changes.

Either it's a conspiracy, a graphical error, or an accidental leak of Sailing.

think about what has changed since you last saw them; i.e different computer, different settings etc

nothing, same pc, same settings, same everything apart from me making this thread :P

 

well it doesn't really matter, i thought the colours were there for everyone but from the looks of things its something hardware/software related

The first short cut in the Reilkka caves had a purple glow on the Pyrefiends side yesterday,

i saw the same thing right near the statues near bh in the wildy

i thought it was a glitch it lasted for a little while then it went away after i ran out of the screen and back i dont think its a graphic glitch though

You've got to admit, though... the strange colors in the 2nd pic look pretty cool.

Could you circle/ highlight the strange part? I can't tell any difference from what it normally looks like. Also, the OP's pics won't load for me.

 

It's probably a bug or something, I can't imagine a news post saying something to the tune of "Strange colours have been appearing in RuneScape recently for those with HD settings, what could be causing this? Wait no more because after doing ____ quest, the secret of the strange colours is revealed!"

 

It's probably a bug :smile:

Sig by me, in MS paint, but I'm still working on it.

Suggestions appreciated

 

This guide is as concise as a gourmet's handbook with the guidelines of "Pick up fork, stab food, insert into your mouth, then chew".

I noticed it at barrows the other day. Just though it was part of it but I guess it is at a lot of places. I'm just guessing its a small graphics error on there part.

If it was just one spot i would say its an insignificant glitch. However, because there are various ones around Rs, and probably many unseen ones, it makes me think it may b a small glitch by something implemented in the background to help an upcoming graphical update.

On an unrelated note, I have the same graphics card as you. :)

 

More on topic, that is very strange...I have never seen anything like that before. Probably just a small graphical glitch.

It's obviously npc's are having a rave party downstairs.

I mean, it's always visible to the next of a stair/door.

[/funny answer I got from someone else]

Theres some purple in Tears of guthix room too.

They look like tiny shades.

 

EDIT: I can see it too.

I'll keep my eyes open for this... One hell of a glitch, though. :shock:

 

I wonder if it will show on the GeForce 7300 GT and/or Radeon 9200 (Don't bother me about this...) that I'm using here... :-k

This might be related to the new skill... lol.

 

Maybe it's just graphical glitches?

The barrows picture is mine, that colour has been in that exact spot for the ~4 days I've been barrowing now. Sometimes it disappears, sometimes it changes colours, but usually it has a red/purple/blue shade and it's always in the same spot. There's also two of these spots in Torag's tomb, with a slightly more blue/purple shade. I don't know what to think of it :ohnoes:
