Sounds to me like these are the syptoms of an overclocked video card. I have screwed around extensively with my card and when it's overclocked too high quake3 engine games flicker like a mofo.

On a related note, I have a GeForce 2 and the game flickers on some levels, like the Nar Shaddaa streets level in single player. The lights are flickering and it's really weird. It wasn't like this before the patch though

Things to try, go to display properties, settings tab, advanced button, tab with your card on it, IE GF4, Additional Properties button, Opengl Tab. Turn vsyc to ALWAYS OFF. Enable ansiotropic filtering, make sure EVERY checkbox is on EXCEPT disbale enhanced CPU instruction set. I also suggest turning off AA, but thats your call to make on the 3D AA Tab.

In game try disabeling shadows or setting them to simple. Maybe try disabeling opengl extensions also.

I'm having exactly the same problems with my system. The rippling only started when I upgraded to the GF4 Ti4400 but I've noticed it too in Medal of Honour.

Has anybody got a link to a tweak guide or know how to put this right because its really annoying.

I am going to assun eyou two have W2k or Win XP? If so, known issue, go to guru3D and get refresh rate hacked version of nvidia drivers, otherwise [ie W9x users] try reinstalling your monitor [NOT VIDEO CARD, but MONITOR], its probably listed as unknown.

i installed the 27.50 detonator drivers & it fixed it ,i used detonator destroyer(from 3dguru.com) to remove my previous drivers,im also playing morrow wind & it runs better too

Dave, Are you running the game in a higher resolution than you have your desktop?

Davedddy · 05-14-2002, 01:13 AM

OK I have XP and a GeForce 2 MX 400. On multiplayer (that at least won't lock

) I see horrizontal breaks or "shimmers" in the graphics. Is that what you are talking about? If it is then I can fix it with this. I also see flicker of something that texture in other games, like Aliens vs Predator 2. Nothing major, but it made me think it was a refresh issue.
