Dulak Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Hail, I havnt played SC in awhile; and decided to try out the new patch. I reinstalled SC and installed patch 1.6 game seems to run fine except for one thing ... The screen flashes everytime I end turn/go to any other menu ie options/warmap etcetc. Kind of annoying and stalls gameplay ie the screen takes like 5 seconds to flash. I recently installed direct x9 on a radeon 8500 using win xp and the catelyst 3.0 drivers. any idea what might be the problem or how to fix it? thanks, Dulak 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Hi Dulak, Couple of questions, what version of SC did you have before you installed the latest patch, i.e. 1.0, 1.01 etc? Also what is your system information, and are you running on a laptop etc? This will help me track it down for you. Thanks, Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulak Posted March 3, 2003 Author Share Posted March 3, 2003 Well ... I did a fresh install of the game; ie played it on my other drive but this is a newer drive. So installed the game then installed the lastest patch (is it 1.6~) amd 1.7~ 512 ram winxp(all updates) radeon 8500 (catelyst 3.0 drivers with dx 9), turtle beach santa cruz (newest driver); this is a desp top pc not a laptop. I played sc before patch 1.2 or 1.3~ then gave it up for a bit or was it patch 1.4 ... anyways the things that changed with my system since I played it then and now ... I'm using dx9 with catelyst 3 drivers also added 256 ram; and of course I am using 1.6 patch (newest). So I am really unsure if the problem is from the newest patch or dx9 or catalyst drivers or something I am unaware about. thanks Dulak 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Ok this might be DirectX related, but since the game is backward compatible and able to run without DirectX, try running it with the line 'directx = 0' instead of 'directx = 1' in your 'SC.ini' file. The 'SC.ini' file can be found in your SC installation directory. Hope this helps, Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulak Posted March 3, 2003 Author Share Posted March 3, 2003 ahh Great looks like that fixed it ... must be the direct x9; I was using 8.1 when I last played it. thanks for the help look forward to trying out the new changes Dulak [ March 03, 2003, 01:13 PM: Message edited by: Dulak ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
