Do you have "The Glow"?

Post » Tue Dec 01, 2015 12:55 am

Okay, I don't know if I am glitched, or if I was glitched for the first 48 hours of my playing F-4 and now it is suddenly "working as intended"...


When you have something "tagged" in your inventory to show the little magnifying glass when you are looking around, does the object glow onscreen in the color of your HUD?
Do containers that are holding things you have tagged glow?

I use purple for my HUD...since nowhere in F-4 does Beth use the color purple, so my HUD really shows up very distinctly.
And, for the last 18 hours, or so, everything I have tagged for "easy-search" glows, as do containers holding said objects.
Even worse! When on loading screen the models even glow purple! (It makes some of them rather hard to see to be honest.) But, not all of the time. Sometimes they appear normal...this seems to have nothing to do with "tagged" materials.

Anybody else having this happen?
One one hand, it is helpful when searching for something like "oil"...flip-top lighters are rather small and the glow really makes them hard to miss.
On the other hand, it makes my workshops glow purple...which is irritating. (to me)




(((PS: 100 InterWeb Points to the person that can tell me, with using a search engine, what movie "The Glow" is from...it even had a song. (lol )))

I just finished a 100 hour play through on ps4 and I never noticed anything glowing. I also had a "tag for search" on at least one material most of the time.

My workshops glow if they have a tagged item in them. Can't recall if it also happens for other containers out in the world, but I've got materials tagged that don't generally appear in containers (concrete and cork). Lootable objects glow if they have the material inside.

Did you invest in scrapper? if yes then you must have rank 2 of it which highlights containers with junk you looking for.

Oh so *that* is why that's been happening! I've noticed a few things glowing, but just thought it was a strange but harmless bug that I ignored.

Stuff shows up purple when the textures for it don't load. That's probably what's happening with your load screens.

Dude, I think I love you!

Now that I think about it, it started right about the time I got Rank 2 Scrapper.
I thought I was going nutz.


Thanks, You ROCK! :rock:
