Terrain/units tinted a deep Purple upon game start

Basically I start a SP game in either DX12 or normal modes, and everything but the UI is tinted a deep purple.  It's still playable but it's really annoying. Happens on all maps, but it is harder to see on Ice maps.  I have updated my drivers and my monitor is just fine.  

 

I can post the logs from the Stardock log tool if necessary.

While you're waiting for any other answers you might download and run DDU (http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html) to uninstall all traces of drivers. Then re-install the latest GPU drivers using the clean installation option.

Kazz, its not a driver issue.

 

I've been able to repro it successfully.  If any army uses blue or cyan, I have this issue.  If not, it goes back to normal.

Yep, that's odd! Good luck!

My game turned a deep red, hurt to even look at the screen. UI/menus were unaffected.

Which version of the Nvidia driver are you using?

I'm trying to reproduce it here.  I have a 361.43.  Doesn't happen here no matter what I do. 

This is on a GTX 980m

Update:

I did reproduce this.  Here's how I did it:

I went to the game options and changed my UI scaling from 100% to 80%.  Then I played with MSAA on and got the purple UI.

However, when I went to DX 11 and played it, it worked and then when I went back to DX 12, it also worked.  It's a very weird issue.

Okay apparently my driver hadn't quite updated like I thought it had, installed the newest driver and BAM it's good!  The new race has some scary powerful units...

It happens with both AMD and NVIDIA

 

I haven't seen posts about AMD.

Was there also smoke on the water, by chance?

I just got in on an AMD card.  Restarting fixe dit. Didn't change my settings.

Using Nvidia and I have about a 50/50 chance upon loading into a game to get this bug. Simply exiting to the menu and reloading fixes it.
