Summary	0002176: Multiple graphics glitches
Description	See image - I'm not sure what's wrong, since I'm not sure what "normal" behavior is. It looks like a number of sprites may not be loading, and for whatever reason, there is pink all over the playfield.

keith.lamothe Dec 27, 2010 10:01 am administrator ~0007084	That looks like a corrupted installation, to be honest. Or, possibly, some error was hit during game initialization. Do you have any error logs (txt files) in the RuntimeData sub-folder in your AI War folder?

Picklegnome Dec 28, 2010 4:56 pm reporter ~0007167	Somehow Steam had let me start the application without being fully installed. Letting it finish did the trick. Only error log I found is Missing Localizations (which I just uploaded to you) - I am seeing a number of missing localization errors in the game, which isn't a huge issue.

keith.lamothe Dec 28, 2010 5:01 pm administrator ~0007168	The missing loca logs look like your install hasn't got the up-to-date language files, not even up to date as of quite a few versions ago (the Core Fighter loca missing, etc). I'm glad it's running ok for you, but I would strongly suggest a fresh re-install :)

keith.lamothe Dec 28, 2010 5:02 pm administrator ~0007169	Marking this as resolved since it was (almost certainly) an installation quirk rather than anything in the game that we can actually fix. You'll still be able to leave notes on the issue, though, etc.

TechSY730 Dec 28, 2010 10:44 pm reporter ~0007180	I gotta ask you guys something. Why pink for the missing texture fill color? It looks silly. :D

Chris_McElligottPark Jan 3, 2011 12:45 pm administrator ~0007368	We use pink because it shows up really obviously. Also: hot pink is the standard classic color used for to-be-transparent-pixels in older color-keying style programs from the 80s/90s (where I got my start). So it's both obvious-to-players-as-an-issue as well as having historical game development significance to old school developers.
