Vessel going pink bug

[ebigunso]

hi, I've got some strange issues with vessels going pink.

I launched a test vehicle on a sub orbital trajectory, it was all fine until the vessel hit the atmosphere again, then after a few seconds the whole vessel went pink (pink blob in the shape of the craft, didn't look like individual parts going pink) and things went very weird. I had parachutes on it so I activated that, it didn't graphically show and immediately I heard it explode. The vessel didn't seem to slow down by the atmosphere, and it then smashed into the ground at vertical speeds of above 1000.

I checked inside the output log file, and the only stuff I found was this. It didn't lead to anything

Active Vessel is in atmosphere. Cannot save.

Vessel Testing crashed through terrain on Kerbin

(Filename: C:/BuildAgent/work/d63dfc6385190b60/artifacts/StandalonePlayerGenerated/UnityEngineDebug.cpp Line: 49)

[00:05:59]: Testing crashed into Kerbin.

I posted this in the Interstellar mod thread too, as I remembered somebody reporting about radiators going pink in there. I don't know if it's the same issue or not.

followup on this. I managed to reproduce this bug, this time it happened while launching.

The rocket looks fine on the ground, though few seconds after launch the whole rocket went pink. Exhaust flames looked fine.

The bug seemed to not have an effect on physics like last time, and I did feel the aerodynamic forces. The pinkness returned to normal after I got to the thinner part of the atmosphere (35k up).

I reverted a couple times and the bug seemed to occur at the same timing every launch attempt.

This time I got screenshots.

Also sometimes when things go wrong and explode, the remaining parts return to normal looking rather than being the pink blob.

Well, looks like the textures are being replaced, so any addon that changes textures would be a prime culprit I think

hmm, I recently updated texture replacer to the latest so maybe that? idk I'll try downgrading.

[sal_vager]

I'd test reinstalling it too, in case it failed, remove all of the previous folder first though.

I have tried downgrading/reinstalling texture replacer, this did not change the situation.

Next up would be EVE and BA maybe?

Anyone got more suggestions?

Bump.

I noticed some textures going wrong in the space center also, while the vessel pink bug is still happening on every launch.

Some places on the facilities go black, and when you move the camera it sort of flickers.

I've got some screenshots here to show what I see.

I will continue to try and figure out what is wrong, but if anyone has suggestions please, please post it here for me. thx.

EDIT: It seems the whole problem was with DX11, which I was forcing the game to use, as I was suggested to do that on another thread. I turned back to OpenGL mode and the black texture bug along with the pink vessel bug disappeared. wth.
