Watch Dogs 2 color messed up
This is probably more windows shenanigans like #5685 and #5660. You can try the steps given in those issues https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/5685#issuecomment-4691526383
This looks like the (once again, somewhat common) Windows issue of RGBA being interpreted as BGRA by some part of the stack for some reason.
I don't know what to do about any of this shit honestly, and it sure would be nice if drivers could just manage to get the image on screen properly and ideally also without any other third-party software fucking it up.
Update time, so i followed with what @turol had given me, i tried the 2.5.1 version which was pointed out, and so i gave it a go and... voila for some reason it works, and more surprisingly, i tried changing back from 2.5.1 to 2.7.1 just to know if the color would be messed up again. Weirdly, it did not mess the color up this time! I don't really know why this even happened in the first place, but hey, just letting you all know. Thanks for the answer btw appreciate it.

Hello all, so first of all, the game runs just fine, no lags whatsoever, though for some reason the color messed up from the start of the game. Even the menu color like the highlighting a button becomes red, which is supposed to be blue. some were in the right color but everything is a mess.
