The online racing simulator
Spooky: hay bales turned black in video (extra channel in screenshots?)
Was not sure where to post this, whether it is bug in LFS or just some strange curiosity...

Look at this picture:

Anything strange to see? No.

Now look at video:

The hay bales have turned black!
Surely a sign that the apocalypse is near!
Maybe like in "Back to the Future" where persons fade away from photos?


The .bmp files are also bit larger than they should be, so contains something invisible to the human eye.
In graphic software like Gimp one sees LFS screenshots look like this:

There seems to be an extra (transparent) channel in the picture. But why?

That was a bug reported in the past string of test patches. I thought it was fixed.
Hm yes that looks similiar.
But as I understand in that case there was graphical bugs ( like here https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1871479#post1871479 ) while playing but for me when driving in LFS everything looks normal. Videos recorded with FRAPS look normal too.
Even the screenshots look normal, if I look at them in Irfanview or in MS paint.
Only when I used a screenshot in a video did the hay bales suddendly turn black.
