Objects that change are faded!
I logged in super fast, and this happened..

Looks pretty cool, though.
IDK what that would be from. It isn't from your comp, i can tell you that
If you get to the log in screen fast enough, the text displays are black, not white. This is probably related.

Well now you have xD
Maybe he has some funky image-alpha setting that changes relative to time at the games start to look nice but you logged in so fast it never reached 1? Idk.

That was actually my guess too. The menu uses alpha functions in the draw event that are used to fade in the GUI. If that is never set to 1 by the time the user is logged in, it'll stay the way it is.
Some where draw_set_alpha was set below 1 and not changed back. Strange error.
how in the world did you manage to log in so fast?? As far as I can see, the alpha from menu items shifts to 1 in matter of 2-3 seconds... Macro?

I imagine it was partially due to me making it so you can press enter through most of the start screen stuff now (for those who hadn't realized).
Either way, the login screen was actually the only part of the game that I didn't design/code entirely myself, so it may be an alpha transparency issue like you guys were describing. I'll take a look for the next update.
Odd thing though is that the characters/HUD BG/BGs aren't faded. Once a while back I was alone at the temple and got hit by a skeleton. Apparently an alarm got missed, and my character never went back to full alpha. However, I lost patience, and before anyone came, I went back to fighting skeletons. After my next hit taken, things resumed as normal.

if you notice, its only the stuff that the server pretty much has to send back to him, like the names of the people around him, his lvl, all that, the background i think is presaved to the comp since it doesn't change
