Title: Flickering Screen on startup pages
Post by: AusMedic on July 25, 2015, 04:37:25 PM

I have recently upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 and subsequently had to reinstall AH. Ever since, when I get to the main startup screens they flicker on and off. Gameplay is ok though. Not sure if its a resolution issue or GPU problem (New AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series)
Any advice to fix this will be appreciated.

Cheers

Same computer, new operating system, if I understood it correctly?

If so, did you do a clean install or upgrade over the old one?
Have you installed all of the drivers for Windows 7? Including motherboard?

Supposedly the video drivers are up to date since the card is new.

Did you over clock it in the CCC?

ATI 6000 and 7000 family flicker when over clocked or over heating. Or if you are using very old drivers like the Win7 default drivers.

All good now fellas thanks. I upgraded to Windows 10 and it seems to have fixed the issue.

Ok hated Windows 10 so reverted back to Windows 7. reverting also reverted back to the same problem with the flickering. Which drivers do you think are causing the issue?? By the way as each screen loads and it flickers, for a split second between each flicker it says that aces high is not responding. When I actually enter the game all seems ok.

my guess would be video. Which card do you have and which drivers are you running?

A DXDIAG output might help.

AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series driver ver 9.12.0.0 When I try to update driver it says I have the best driver installed.
Haven't overclocked.

Here are the results of my dxdiag

According to your DXDIAG, it is using "1776 x 1000 @ 59Hz" as the resolution, where it shows the native resolution for the monitor is 1280x720 @ 50Hz.

Something amiss there.
