Screen Flickering/Tearing in SH4 (and SH3)

Sniper297 · 02-21-18, 01:20 PM

I'm still chugging along with WIN XP, never seen LINUX or any of the VISTA and later operating systems. To throw out a few ideas;

1. From what I've read in various other games, some of the later versions don't come with DX9, so VISTA / WIN7 users had to download and install DX9C to make older games work.

2. I got flashing from newer video cards and drivers, reduced by turning off detailed ripples and 3D ships wakes in graphics options. Turning down hardware acceleration one notch (suggested for mouse problems in XP) also seems to help. Don't know how it works in later systems, but for XP;

START, RUN, "DXDIAG". Go to SOUND tab, set slider from full acceleration to standard.

Probably something similar in VISTA / 7 / 8 / 10 (was there a 9?) no idea about LINUX.
As far as I know WINE is fermented fruit juice and I wouldn't advise pouring it into a computer.
