Screen is weird colors.

When I play SRB2 software, my screen glitches all different colors. When I play in OPENgl it does not occur. I tried to take a screenshot, but it appears normal colored. If it helps, if I change the light level, it appears normal for a few seconds, then it reverts back to the messed up version. The colors look inverted.

This is a problem with incompatibility Software mode has with newer computers. An upcoming SDL build is in the works that is trying to eliminate this issue.

I never used to have the problem, nor did I switch computers. It randomly started last week. What is a SDL?

The SDL build is a new build currently in production. There is a public testing session happening over here: https://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=39627

EDIT: If you don't want to use SDL, try running SRB2 in Compatibility Mode (assuming you have Windows).

SDL Build is still an Incomplete version of the game,it fixed that issue,but still will not working fine for Multiplayer mode,that issue happens because of Operating System,if you have for example a Windows XP it'll not happen ... but it'll happen if you use Windows Vista or later versions .... I don't know why,but maybe it's because of Compatibility

...Not correct. I remember the colours going weird (inverted, I think) first time I played Sonic Robo Blast 2 Jason The Echidna (SRB2JTE), on a Windows XP laptop several years ago. Even after closing Sonic Robo Blast 2, all colours were still inverted (or whatever they were).

No idea if it is, since the second time I played the exact same version of SRB2JTE without altering any files, it looked okay.

That's just because (from my knowledge) SRB2 1.09.4 uses a less compatible version of Software. I recently tried it again on my Windows 7, and while it runs 2.1 and 2.0 flawlessly, the sound and video is borked on 1.09.4.

Hmm, awkwardly enough in my (only) playthrough of SRB2SBAHJ my colors were inverted and ugly. However, i just messed with the brightness, minimized the game, and restored it, and it eventually went back to normal. So maybe this is a sudden 2.1.11 bug?

Not just SRB2,also Vanilla DOOM ..... most of Source Ports fixed this issue,but it still exists in SRB2 ?
