Post Patch - 3D Problem - Home Team Pawns Lose Team Colors - Go All Black

LouGerig_IronHorse · 08-17-2016, 11:22 AM

I downloaded and installed the patch - and now in 3D mode, the pawns for the home team are now all black - they look like little 'grim reapers' on the field.

The only 'workaround' I've found is exiting the program altogether and restarting it. Upon restart, the first game played after restarting and continuing season in progress - the home team pawns display normal team colors. But they display normal colors for only that first game. Any subsequent games played afterwards, however, they all turn black. Which means - I have to save the season in progress, exit the program, restart the program, load in the season to continue, for EVERY game I play. I play out every game on the schedule (no quick sims) so this is beginning to become a frustrating exercise.

This only impacts the home team - visiting team retains correct team colors. This seems to impact all teams (no team appears immune).

Will this be fixed in a forthcoming patch? I do not believe my video drivers are the problem because when I exit and restart the game, the first game played correctly displays the home and visiting team colors on the pawns. Any subsequent games played (unless I save the season, exit, re-start, re-load season) and the home team pawns go all black.

I've noticed the same thing, too! Of course it's not a showstopper but just looks quite strange. Is there any workaround or we can only wait for a future patch to fix this??

I really do hope this gets patched. While not a showstopper it does take some of the fun factor away from playing in the 3D mode.

The only workaround I've found is to save season, exit the game altogether, re-start the game, continue current season then play whatever game on the schedule you're looking to play. The pawns are restored to their correct colors for that first game after re-start - occasionally a second game as well. Most of the time, however, after the first game is played, the pawns revert to all black when any subsequent games are played - unless the program is shut down and restarted again. That's a lot of work to keep the colors correct in 3D mode!

Hoping we will see this patched. It wasn't happening before the latest patch was released.

This is a big optic bummer. Please fix.
