Full Version: Blue Screen after opening Inventory

I just noticed an odd glitch that happens when opening my Inventory. I'm testing out my Custom Story map and whenever I pick up an item my screen turns light blue
Where is the item you picked up? Is it the note?

This looks a lot like the sanity boost effect which can be scripted, although it shouldn't linger so something is obviously wrong.

Yeah the effect happens after I picked up the note. I noticed that this only happens when the item has custom text on it. I spawned a key without giving it a custom name or description and the blue tint wasn't there.

Maybe it has something to do with the lang files?
Doubt it. But then again I've never seen this before. I can't imagine what causes it.
It happens to me sometimes in my FC, but it disappears when I restart the game. I don't know what is causing it :/
I'm thinking maybe a driver issue? You could try to update your video drivers or even cleanly reinstall them.

 Nope. I reinstalled my video drivers, verified the game cache, and even downloaded your Custom Story template from your video on YouTube to see if the problem was only my CS, but the problem still persists. Also the problem never happens for me when playing the base game, so it isn't a graphics card issue
Maybe you can zip up a custom story you get the issue in and I can test it to see if I also encounter it?

I haven't downloaded any custom stories yet so I zipped the story I'm currently working on
I downloaded it and I didn't have any blue screen. Also, I saw that you have a problem with your extra_english.lang so I checked it and I deleted the <CATEGORY> at the beginning, and it worked just fine ^^
