GPL - flashing problem

Hi GPL'ers, I have a graphics problem that is not so severe, but it might be the cause of my failure in staying on-line, too. Now when I have updated drivers, went to DX80.a, ..., always, when I come back from track to the pits screen, the background is flashing. If I push the red button and then cancel, the screen is ok. Any clever suggestions? My system: AMD 1.1 GHz, GF2 GTS 32Mb, driver 4.12.01.0634, monitor Triniton CPD-E220E. Arto

I have the same thing, haven't tried it online though (not that good yet) It seems to be a 'feature' og the GF series of cards.... Sudesh "Arto Wikla" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:wikla.987792165@kanasaari...

It's the 6.34 driver (and later versions) in combination with GPL. The 5.33 drivers don't have this problem. You might also try the newest 12.00 driver, my impression is that it happens less often in this version. You'll find all driver versions here: http://www.m3dzone.com/files.php?directory=Videocards/NVIDIA/Drivers/W9x/ Bart Westra

Well, it's not a failure of the card as such, just the beta D3D renderer. "sudesh" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I have the same thing, haven't tried it online though (not that good yet) > It seems to be a 'feature' og the GF series of cards.... > > Sudesh

I"m using DX8a, with the 6.5 drivers and have no problems with the D3D patch? J. Janasov Bart Westra <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3ae0a49f$0$32952$[email hidden]...

This has been a long standing problem with GPL. It should not have anything to do with your on-line connections. In fact, it is stricly just an annoyance as I have never had it cause any major problems with my racing. Just flashing in the menus. It is not just a D3D or nvidia GeForce issue either. I have had this problem virtually from the get go in 1998 with a Voodoo2 and the Glide driver for GPL. -Don Chapman Arto Wikla <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:wikla.987792165@kanasaari...

Imo it is definately a driver problem. Couple of weeks ago when I bought my GFII GTS, I tried allmost all available drivers. With some drivers I had the flickering, with some I didn't. It's annoying but not really a problem. Just press escape once and click cancel, or go to your setup menu and return, and the flickering stops. More annoying with the d3d patch is the problem with the miss-colored flags.. Andre

Had the same problem with my V5500. Solved in disabeling Triple Buffering and MIP Map Dithering.
