it seems to only happen when i go fullscreen, at any other size its fine all colors are normal but when i go in full screen mode it messes up. it does it on yourube videos as well i believe

Its mostly caused by the gpu card / driver, cause the windows thinks that theres not enough memory for the application so it changes the Aero them to basic to save up some Vram, update your drivers, and if that did not work you can try these solutions:

1- go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Performance Information and Tools , open the "Adjust visual effects" and choose "Adjust for best appearance" apply and quit.

2-if that did not work, right click on the game's exe and properties then compatibility tab and unchk the box that says "Disable desktop composition", and chk on "run As an Admin"

Let me know if this helps

No neither of those did it. I believe its the DVI to HDMI cable that's messing up.

That's certainly a software or driver issue, not a cable issue. Digital connections like HDMI and DVI aren't subject to distortion or interference like analog connections because the signal either reaches its destination exactly as it was sent or does not. Nothing in between.

I switched out the Dvi to hdmi for a standard vga cable and everything is fine now
