Is the whole game in 16bit color?

Look at the screenshots. You can clearly see the edges in the color gradients. This not due to jpg compression, this is how it looks ingame!

It looks like 16bit.

You posted nothing about computer specs or the graphics settings used to take these screenshots. It could very well be 16 bit color if that's what you're running.

Oh, my specs:

4600X2
7800GS+ Bliss
Audigy2ZS
2GBRAM

My Desktop resolution is 1280x1024x32

ingame I have 4 options for the resolution:
1024x768 @ 60Hz
1024x768 @ 75Hz
1280x1024 @ 60Hz
1280x1024 @ 75Hz

Currently Im running at 1280x1024 @ 75Hz

I have top of the line specs. I see this in SH3 sometimes - even with GWX, particularly at dawn and dusk when the sky changes colour. It probably has something to do with texture scaling.

The sky is a giant sphere with different scaled colours trying to merge. Due to such a large "canvas" you are going to see this.

EDIT: As well as underwater....

underwater postproces efect is worse than 16 bit i think

My computer at work it looks like 16bit and looks awful. My gaming computer at home the screenshots look great. Color transition is smooth. I have a Nvidia 6200OC 256MB.

Doesn't bother me.. Im not going to be staring at the sky closely.

Hey Hawk, where did you get your game?

Just curious.

Hey Chappy, please reduce your pics to 800x600, please.
