Thread: Screen flickering w/ Keeperfx but not with DK gold from GoG

    Default Screen flickering w/ Keeperfx but not with DK gold from GoG

    Hey all, as the title says - when I run DK gold just from GoG, everything works fine. However, when I run Keeperfx, I get really intense screen flickering, both in menu, in game, during intro video, etc. I have played with the resolution and that hasn't changed anything. Any tips? If you need any other info, please let me know. Thanks!

    Please explain what 'flickering' means.

    Which version of KeeperFX are you using?

    The most recemt version, 0.4.4.

    And by flickering I mean it's rapidly blinking, multiple times a second. Flickering is the only word I can think of to describe it. It's virtually unplayable in the sense that it is really irritating to look at, but none of the actual gameplay mechanics are broken (ie, I can navigate the menu and start levels, but I didn't get any farther than that).

    Interesting.

    Are you using CRT monitor?
    What's your graphics card?
    Is your driver up-to-date?

    Have you tried setting the same resolution which you have in Windows?

    No to CRT monitor, graphics card is geforce GT 650M, drivers are all up to date, and yes I have tried setting the same resolution as with windows - no change, unfortunately.

    Try using windowed mode - change all video modes from WIDTHxHEIGHTxBPP to WIDTHxHEIGHTwBPP.

    You can do the change either in launcher (just enter resolutions manually) or by editing keeperfx.cfg in text editor.

    Also, which color it blinks with?

    Unfortunately, windowed mode did not solve the problem.

    It blinks to black, like it's flickering on and off, but really fast (multiple times per second).

    Here are two videos a few seconds long showing what I mean about the screen flickering: http://youtu.be/gVvAbZkLgiM and http://youtu.be/bcs3o9Gvcas

    Windowed mode worked when I switched between resolutions in game! Neat! Well, if you know how to fix it full screen, that'd be great, but if not, don't worry too much because I can play windowed mode no problem.

    I have the same problem and the same video card (Dell Vostro)

    In another thread, someone proposed to switch video driver to "windib" (use launcher to do that).

    This should fix the issue without entering windowed mode.

    No luck. Also in compatibility with Win XP mode.

    Everything blinks like refresh rate on laptop was out of sync with that of the game.
