Artifacts when changing property to DXT5 or DXT1

[xX_Racer_Xx 0]

I Imported textures inside a ytd and tried to change its properties to dxt5 and dxt1 compression but as i changed it, it left green and purple shades on many parts of it, i import dds format and if dds fails to import then i import its png format, is there anything i'm doing wrong ?

You should import your textures with the compression you want.

I tried but it didn't work, it still gave artifacts.

If you want to change DXT compression, do it from your image editing program, and not from inside OpenIV.

Saving in DXT is going to give artifacts regardless, but changing it in OpenIV will give you far more artifacts than normally.

If you don't want artifacts, keep it as A8R8G8B8/32-bit ARGB.
