Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 Demo
  • Steam AppID of the game: 24710

System Information

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

When running the first misson of the tutorial ("Intro to the basics"), the screen is mostly... purple. See the attached screenshot.
red_alert_3_bug

This happens when the graphics presets (Settings -> Graphics) are set to "low" or "lowest". With "medium", the game looks perfectly normal.

Reproduction

Run the first mission of the tutorial with "low" or "lowest" graphics presets.

Seems okay on my end.

@nded03 Could you post your system info in a gist?

Reproduced locally on an Ivybridge, Kabylake, RX 480 (18.2.x), and a GTX 950 (396.54). Dropping the mesa label since the graphics vendors are affected equally.

@nded03, are you testing with the lowest graphics preset in-game?

@kisak-valve yes, but I just realized that I only have the Red Alert Uprising expansion rather than the original. I downloaded the demo and was able to reproduce the issue in it. Seems to be entirely dependent on texture quality; any setting other than high will result in pink terrain.

You don't get this error with Red Alert Uprising? https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6459
