SCGT Flicker Screen Problems

by jame » Wed, 22 Aug 2001 05:57:25

I have just reinstalled SCGT after a long time away from the game.  I am
using Direct3D and keep getting lots of flicker - the game blacks out for a
fraction of a second every few seconds.  Anyone else experience this and
solved it?

I've got a PIII 733 with 256meg RAM, Diamond Viper videocard with DirectX8
installed on Windows2000.  I'm running 1.55m of the game.

If your in the dashboard view, press the F4 key to turn the dash off/on
and the flicker should disappear.  Be sure to use 800x600 for the most
compatibility too.

I don't use the dash, so it isn't that.  I'll try the 800x600.
