[GWX 2.1] Flickering Sun & Moon

ryanwigginton · 04-21-08, 11:38 AM

Hi,

Very impressed with the whole Sun effect, especially there glare between clouds and when it's high in the sky. The moon is also fantastic now (although I do wonder if it should be a smidge smaller). One problem I'm getting is both of them flicker. I can only describe it as a jagged black flicker. Both the Moon and Sun do it except for when the Sun is low in the sky although I'm guessing the glare could be hiding the effect. I tried to screenshot it except it happens randomly and only for a fraction of a second and despite taking about ten shots they all missed. Guess my reactions aren't so good!

It's the only graphic anomoly I'm getting. Does anyone else see it? Could it be down to something on the 3D Settings page in nVidia control panel?

PS: In GWX2.0 my crew configuration buttons CTD'd me. With 2.1 it doesn't happen anymore. I didn't see any mention of this on the list of changes so it seems you fixed it without even realising it! -damn you guys are good.

The flickering of sun and moon and sometimes the horizon...is because of the Graphic Card. I had this on and off in my SH3 gaming.

Probably drivers!:hmm:

That's a bitch. The drivers I'm using at the moment have been the most stable of the ones I've tried so far. I'm really hoping it isn't this. Otherwise, it's back to the lab...

Tinker around with the AA & AF settings! Maybe you'll find your golden middle!:hmm:

Fixed in OLCE2.
It's a stock bug (at least, I had it since stock) but I think it only affects certain graphics cards.

I've had the same flickering sun & moon isssue too. Been that way since stock SH3. Don't know what causes it or how to get rid of it for good. Geforce FX 7300 LE.
