Title: Everything Flickers!
Post by: Xakh on July 02, 2008, 12:51:28 PM
 Every single bit of geometry pops in and out of visibility as I move! It makes it impossible to play this game! I used to like OA a lot, but I'm really not feeling it now.

What version are you using? Have you considered that your video card maybe the issue? It might be time for a new PC.

Heh, new PC. I built the monster I'm using on saturday.
Anyway, the gameplay isn't choppy, I can run, it moves smoothly, however, the graphics just stop showing up in places, over and over again. I just updated all of my drivers and BIOS, and this is the newest patch, right off of the site.

Try disabling triple buffer in your video card's driver control panel

Could you take any screenshots of it?

Nope, because, as it always goes, it fixes itself right in time to make me look a fool.  Thanks for listening, I'm gonna go play now.
