I recently decided to install BC onto my new desktop in order to kill some time here or there. I have a 24inch 1920x1080 monitor and when I run the game in full screen mode it flickers intermittently and is quite annoying. This issue does not persist in windowed mode, its been a while since I played the game so I am a bit behind on mods that may correct this issue. My previous machine was a 15 inch laptop with 1280 by 800 screen.
Running Windows 7 64 bit, Intel Core i7, 6GB DDR3 RAM, ATi 4850 512mb, 24inch Samsung monitor.
Laptop was also upgraded to Windows 7 when I played it last and had no issue.
Thanks in advance.

Right click the desktop icon then go to properties. On the compatbility tab make sure the three "disable" options are checked.
-
Its still flickering even with these settings "disabled."
-
I always thought it was a gfx glich from the drivers.... usually when this happens and I update the drivers it fixes itself.
-
Or when you have background programs running which BC doesn't like. I.E. Running Winamp in the background.
-
My graphics drivers are up to date (perhaps too up to date?), no background programs. What is interesting is if I order it to change the reservation it will cease flickering while it adjusts.
-
Yeah, trying different driver version shouldn't hurt anything.
-
Have you tried playing with different driver settings, i.e. increasing AA/AF levels, mipmap levels.
Try setting the catalyst levels to Balanced preset, and try to play the game.
-
Been playing around with driver settings and have been unable to find a solution. The flickering improves when ATI AAA (Adaptive AA) is set to quality but when AI is disabled its worse, but when enabled and at performance stabilizes, but breaks down again at quality setting. AA and AF seem to have minimal effect. I think it lies in Mipmaps, that setting in BC and on the drivers seem to have the greatest effect. This is very frustrating.
-
have you tried changing the T&L option in BC??
-
Have you tried using the balanced predefined settings?
-
Yes to the previous replies, balanced predefined settings is actually when it is worst.
-
have you tried what I suggested?? or delete the options.cfg??
-
Interesting, truly interesting.
Which color depth? Low or High.
Try switching that.
-
When it is not on the T&L option it is worse. Low color depth is also worse than high color depth.
-
what programs are you running in the background at the time?? ever try closing background windows if they are open?? how about gfx settings out side of BC.
-
I have Kaspersky AV running at most (along with ATI catalyst control center). I keep any open programs to a minimum.
To Neb, I did delete options.cfg, it just made it take longer to load the first time.
-
im having the same problem, did anybody find a solution?
-
Maybe try gettin the newest KM update that offers widesreen support?
-
still cant find a solution, for me its not just KM, but yes i have the newest version of km 1.0 and the beta, it happens to me on bc in general
-
might try closing programs in the background when you play BC... also try switching between windowed and non windowed mode.
-
...but yes i have the newest version of km 1.0 and the beta...
Wait you didn't install the 2009 and then the 2010 betas over 1.0 did you? Thats not a good idea you have to install the 2k9 and then the 2k10 beta over a stock 1.1 install only.
-
i had the problem myself a short time. it was shortly after i replaced the nebula textures (the background nebulas) with hi-res selfmades with resolutions of 300x400 or somethimg like that. there was no change ingame visible except for flickering. but the current ds9fx xtended appearently saved the problem... or it solved itself.
-
Interestingly I never implemented a fix for that in DS9FX Xtended as the problem is of an "external" nature.
