So that's yes its the only game doing this?

I take it total war II and Rome II are the same game engine and its only these two that display this red problem?

I'd either update or roll back the GPU drivers.

Ill try It tomorrow. I read somewhere the corsairlink sometimes is not working good with windows 8. So ill disconnect the USB header and maybe try to play some different game and see how it goes.

I'm having the same problem now in Rome 2 battles, figured it might be related to my overclock or the latest patch.

Try opting in for beta testing of the 1.5 patch, disabling in-game overlays (Steam, Fraps, Afterburner, etc.). I found the problem to be apparent when taking screenshots and changing graphics settings during one of the historical battles (I was doing an image quality comparison).
