UI Color Changing

Has anyone else noticed an issue in which the UI changes back to the default colors (red for Villains, blue for Heroes and grey for Praets) everytime you log-in regardless of what you set it at when you last logged out?

This seems to have only cropped up after the most recent patch and it bugs me quite a bit since I set the color to grey on ALL of my characters.

I did notice this on my arrow/fire blaster. But, as soon as the toon went to blue side, the issue went away.

I"m having the same sort of problem.
I made a topic about it and it didn't attract any posts.

The user interface colors keep changing back to their defaults, red for villains etc, whenever I completely shutdown the game client and restart. I've tried changing them for each character and completely logging out. I've also tried saving options and window settings to no avail.

I made a bind to change them for each character when I log in.
/bind ` "windowcolor 115 115 115 140"

I submitted a petition in game, but it's only resulted in links to the knowledge base on graphics resolution. They haven't actually read my complaint I think.

Started a thread about this as well.

It's a bit sporadic. Sometimes it is not a reset to defaults but one character inheriting a prior character's UI color scheme.

Also having issues with colored titles changing in a similar but sporadic fashion.

And lastly having issues with power color customization getting sporadically reset to default colors on any purchased character slots (slots 6 and up). Made a separate thread about this issue as well since wasn't sure it was connected.

/bugged all three items too

Shutting the game client down and restarting seems to be somehow connected for me to all these issues. Wondering if the "quit to desktop" route of leaving the game is at least in part a culprit. Been meaning to break habit as a test and log out to character select next time I go to quit then backing out from there and then quitting the game from the login screen instead. Just to see.

Edit to add: just noticed last night that I am also getting the fog of war on maps resetting for the characters that get hit by this bug. These are full neighborhood maps resetting as if I'd never visited them. And to be clear these map resets are happening even on characters made new post i21, so it's not just a publish artifact in the database. City zones visited since i21 went live by all new characters are on occasion being reset.

the only thing ive noticed is the resetting UI and the occasional fog of war issues

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't the ONLY one seeing this happen. My friend plays all of his characters with the default UI colors, so he would never notice this issue.

I will be filing a /bug when I get home... and though I am tempted to do a /petition as well to open up some dialogue, there really isn't anything a GM can do, I don't think. Seems like a code problem to me.

Same issue here.

I keep the default colors for all my characters, but if I switch between characters, it'll retain the previous colorization till the client is closed.

Also seeing this issue.

Edit - but I think on new characters created since I21, not the old ones. They seem to keep their correct colors.

Also an issue with keybinding.

I have been uploading my default options on characters as I log into them since I21 started. When I do, the UI switches to the hero colors, because that is what I use on the character I saved the options on. But when I zone, the colors switch back to whatever the character normally has. Otherwise, I have not had the switching the way you guys are describing.

I'm noticing a similar problem where the UI window transparancy keeps getting reset to default on only 1 char

To the OP, I've had this problem for several months now, if not longer. /bug'd it, but I've pretty much accepted it. And since it's not any real inconvenience, I don't really notice it any more.

Settings not sticking can sometimes be solved by saving your settings to the default file (/optionsave, /wdwsave, /chatsave) and, without zoning, exit the game the long way: countdown to login screen and exit buttons. This sometimes forces the server to remember the settings.

Otherwise, this workaround for the non-saveable transparency setting will work.

I ran a character last night in the First Ward arc. The binds/toggles kept dropping, and I had to keep typing them back in. Also, the speech bubble was a wierd lavender color..it was originally whit/black type. This is the first toon I have ever had the bind-drop problem with that severe.

Are people still getting this problem? Just checking, as it is still occurring with my game.

I find that if I switch to another character without quitting the game, the previous character's colour settings are applied. Quitting still resets to the original default colours.

I did have 1 character that managed to keep its UI colours everytime I quit or switched, but since deleting my playerslot.txt it no longer does

On Beta, yes, it still randomly happens to me. On Live, I can't recall the last time it happened.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

the only time its resetting on me is when i first log in i choose a toon i created post freedom it resets to default villain scheme, if i log into an older toon i have the window color that i set for them (black) and it will stick for the play session if i change toons

I've had this problem ever since i21 was released, same with my friends. I've learned to live with it, but it still bothers me, as I used to have different UI colors for all my characters, but now I use the boring, default colors. I doubt this bug is very high on their priority list to fix, so I wonder if it'll ever be fixed...

I've just set a window colour macro to each of my characters, so when I log in to each I can quickly reset it to the colour I wanted - waste of a tray slot, maybe, but at least it doesn't make it a huge issue now
