If the game colors are distorted and/or your mouse pointer motion 'fixes' anything underneath, killing the Windows Explorer process and running the game from task manager can solve this problem.
 
 
 
'''Note: The below instructions forcibly kill the explorer process.  Make sure you have backed up anything important.'''
 
 
 
{{Fixbox/fix|Press Control+Alt+Delete and open task manager.  Under the processes tab find explorer.exe and right click/End Process.  Your task bar will disappear, this is normal.  On the file menu choose 'New Task (Run...)' then browse to the game install folder and choose wh40k.exe.  To get Windows Explorer back repeat this process but instead type in 'explorer' in the run dialogue.}}
 
 
 
You can create a batch file to do this automatically and restart explorer after you exit the game.  Open notepad and paste the following text:
 
 
 
<tt>taskkill /f /im "explorer.exe"<br>
 
wh40k.exe<br>
 
start explorer.exe<br>
 
exit</tt>
 
 
 
Save the text file in your game install folder as 'Run Chaos Gate.bat' - you can now create a shortcut to this batch file to run the game.
