Strange graphics issue

Hi,

Only as of this morning I have a very strange graphics issue, for example, when walking past people like red colouring came off them in ploom's of smoke, and when on my jet the same thing happened. It happens on more or less every object and is starting to annoy me now, it happened suddenly when I went inside a mall and it's still happening..

Hard to explain so if anyone can understand what i'm saying and help I would be very grateful.

Thank you!

Are they moving and are you also seeing blue ones and sometimes a green one?

If so, you've somehow turned on Show Updates. Press ctrl-alt-shift-U to toggle it back off.

Plan B, if you don't at least see some blue ones, is that you've turned on Hightlight Transparent. This can be turned off in the View menu or, IIRC, by pressing ctrl-alt-T.

You might have accidentally turned on Show Transparent; it makes transparent (alpha) textures show up in red instead, so that transparent objects are easier to find. (Trust me... if you start building things that use transparency, you'll want this sometimes.) If memory serves, Control-Alt-T turns it on and off.

a pic says more then thousand words -.o

ctrl-alt-t ; shows/hides transparent
ctrl-alt-shift-u ; show/hides updates

Thank you for helping! The ctrl-alt-shift-u thing fixed it, thanks.

Hi all,

I ran into this posting by accident, but it fixed one of my minor problems.
THNX guys.
