I had something like that 5 months ago.
A reboot fixed it.
6 weeks later graphics card packed in.

Does it happen in single player too Ed?
Yes it does when I tried it just now, although it didn't earlier in the week both single player and on the sr4l server. Also, I just was online with Tim with the Trans Ams 5 minutes ago and no graphics problems at all.

Ok - but if you now go back to the M1, does the problem occur again…?

….and do the TransAms work at Portland and vice versa? And (you’ll be getting tired of testing by now, but we gotta know!) - if you’re still experiencing problems in the M1 at any location, do you get the same issue with views outside of the car?

The *only* car-related thing I can imagine would be to do with how I created the SR4L version of the windscreen. Cruicky has sent me a bannerless version that I was planning to incorporate as a car-selection customisation - if you’re still having issues, I might build this into a new version and send it to you…

…but the side/rear windows (and exterior views) shouldn’t be affected anyway…

Thanks for helping get to the bottom of this problem. This is the order I tried things and the results I observed. I don't remember the game time of day if it doesn't say.

Online Portland M1 - fine
Offline Portland M1 - fine
Online Portland M1 - colour problem (3rd Aug race nite)
Online Bridgehampton Trans Am - fine
Offline Portland 7pm M1 - colour problem (after 5 seconds of being fine)
Offline Portland 7pm M1 - colour problem (after 5 seconds of being fine)
Offline Portland 1pm M1 - fine
Offline Portland 7pm M1 - colour problem (after 5 seconds of being fine)
Offline Portland 7pm Trans Am - colour problem (after 5 seconds of being fine)
Offline Portland 7pm Porsche GTE - colour problem (after 5 seconds of being fine)

Clearing shaders and cbash and restarting does not help when problem observed.
It seems the problem may be with the Portland track in the evening and not related to which car is being driven. I can't reproduce the problem when game time of day is 1pm in any car, including the M1.

I've tried it at 1pm. All fine for me.
It's good that you have ruled out the car.

I tried at 7pm also. All fine still. 7pm is night time.
After 5 seconds the headlights turn on. Does the odd colours start in time with the headlights turning on?

I hadn't tried changing environment reflections until you suggested it, Cookie, and yes this seems to cause the issue. Portland at 7pm is fine if I turn environment reflections off but the colour problem occurs if that setting is not off (low, medium, high, ultra). I just tested this in the Aston Martin GTE. DJ sorry I didn't notice if it coincided with headlights.

…I think I run environmental reflections off due to VR bottlenecks.
