Hello,
I have a problem with the windows "Start" & "Internet" icons flickering on the screen during game play. (About three inches higher on the screen then they should be.) I've found that if I minimalize the game and come back to it, the icons are gone. But this only last for a couple of minutes at most, and then there they are again.

I've got a couple of other glitches too. Such as very low mic volume, and a tendency for the game to freeze after a crash. But I have seen those addressed here in other threads, and I am working on then... so far without any luck.

Thanks "goaly"

What kind of system do you have? Proc, mem, video and sound?

Do you have WindowsUpdate running and informing you that there's an update available?

Thanks QTS... it was a windows update attempting to get in.. what an easy fix!...

Other good news.. the game freezes from crashes are less common. (I've started bailing near the ground) When it froze, I literally had to unplug the CPU, it would lock up so tight.

I'm going to buy a new headset before I work on the low mic volume.

Thanks for the quick reply!
