Sub Command flickering graphics problem

Gestapo · 06-29-12, 11:40 AM

Hi all. I'm having this annoying problem with sub command where all the unit models keep flickering, or have missing or flickering parts. It seems to also depend on the angle you view the unit from. For instance, I looked at the seawolf model and the sail and dive planes are missing and the main body flickers, but looking from another angle the body remains solid but the sail and dive planes are either still missing or flickering. Its the same for all other units.

I had the same problem with fleet command, but fixed it using nglide glide wrapper. I tried many glide wrappers with SC but none seem to work. I tried reinstalling it but no luck with that either.

Any chance to fix this? Perhaps I'm just not using the right glide wrapper, but I'd really appreciate some help on this.

What OS are you using? On Vista and Win 7 machines users have reported flickering in Sub Command. Some say it helps running SC in windowed mode, so it might be worth giving this a try. Hope you get it sorted.

I'm using Windows XP. I think this is most likely due to the game's incompatibility with either my gpu or the drivers I have installed for it. My best guess is that I could probably fix it with the right glidewrapper, but so far all that I have tried dont work.

Also, could you tell me how to load SC in windowed mode? I dont know how to do that and I'd like to give that a try.

For running SC in windowed mode see http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...light=windowed .

Hope it helps.

Thank you. I tried that but it doesn't solve the problem. Guess I'll have to play it as is until I find a solution.

Thanks for your help anyway.
