Display Bugs |
I have encountered 2 display bugs, one of which I have heard of previously. 1) As the game progresses more and more of the sub menus become garbled with colored horizontal lines. This is fixed by running in safe mode. 2) In safe mode the screen continually flashes about every second, sometimes more sometimes less. It is really driving me nuts!
what kind of graphics card
what kind of graphics card do you use? I havent run into either of these issues.
Same here. I have not had
Same here. I have not had these issues at all. What card are you running, and are your drivers up to date?
Video card issue idea...
This brings up a good point though... we should create a thread for players to post their video card and if they are having issues so we can see if there is a pattern.

I created a Troubleshooting thread.
I created a thread in Tech support for this purpose.
Home » forums » Support & Feedback » Technical Support » Video Issues.
I for example, am running:
PCI Express eGeForce 6600LE 256MB
AMD Athalon 64 3200+
1 GIG of Ram
and I am having no problems.
If you do not know how to find out what type of graphics card you have, there are a few ways you can find out.
On your desktop:
Right Click ===> Properties ===> Settings ===> Advanced ===> Adapter ===> under Adapter Type, and Adapter information it should list the name and capabilities of your graphics card.
if you want to go a little further Click Properties ===> Driver. You should have a page with details that include the current driver version you are using with your card.
Here is a link to download a program that will give you complete and in depth information about your entire system.

If you are having problems please list them and describe them in as much detail as you can, so the rest of us are in a better position to offer suggestions.
Now we can try to help people who post their information.

White Flash on Screen
I was wondering if anyone else had noticed the screen flashing. It does not seem to interfere with the play of the game so I have been just ignoring it.
I have no idea what is causing this or how to correct it.
My System is an 800 megahertz Intel Celeron running
Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)
with
Intel(R) 82810 Graphics Controller (Microsoft Corporation)
using 16-bit color
Change the primary display
Change the primary display driver to the actual one listed. In Setup. This got rid of the flashing for me, but the screen size is slightly smaller and cuts off some of the game screen, a very small amount, but no more flashing. I only had one choice as I am playing on an ultra portable laptop with a 10" screen for travel. It may work better on a larger monitor/desktop system.
