Join the club, no fix is forthcoming.
Could you give us your system specs?

Have you guys tried downloading and running Xtended a mod for Die By the Sword that updates the engine to Direct3d9 and loads textures in full 32 bit quality?? Maybe that might be a workaround for those of you with the severe discoloration issues...

Sure. I should have earlier, just being lazy

Radeon x1550 256MBram

I have some more trouble shooting to do. Updated drivers already, no go.
Going to reinstall directx
then try that patch Judis suggests.

Thanks JudasIscariot!

Seriously, how on earth is this happening?
We have 3 quite different systems with the same issue.
But thanks for Xtended, I was so uninterested in 3rd party mods I didn't check what it actually does. Will try it :x

Let us know if it helps you out :D.
Works like a charm!
Am so glad I'll finally get to finish this game.
I'd mark your answer as the solution, but ideally GOG will still come up with something XD

Mark it, not because I care about the rep or anything, the solution might show up on the support page and help someone else out with this same problem. Besides, who knows how long GOG will take to fix this issue?? Not saying that they are slow about it, but they probably have a million things going on simultaneously...
Thanks again Judas!

I accept your reasoning and you "earned" the rep regardless.
I honestly doubt GOG will look into this again, but it would be awesome if they would.
Hey all.
Just got the game and am having the same problem described by the OP. I am running Windows 7, so I'm not sure if it's supported here. I get the severe discolouration which seems to be solved by the opening cinematic.
I tried using the mod listed above as a fix, but it crashed out when trying to launch the game with the Direct 3D graphics settings.
Any thoughts?

Did you correctly install the DirectX components and framework mentioned on the site?
Ahh, thank you. I had forgotten to install on of those.
Works like a charm!
Now if only I didn't look like a spastic with my sword...
The Xtended mod does not work on my computer.

When I launch it I get The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142) error.

Any other solutions?
