Help! Skuzzy?
« on: March 25, 2003, 06:44:31 AM »
The new NVidia Ti4200 has resulted in some serious problems when running AH.

There is significant flickering in the cockpit.  It appears as if tiles are appearing and disappearing on the solid surfaces of the cockpit and after a while in the air the cockpit becomes very blurred and the instruments hard to read.

I sent a film to support@hitechcreations.com.

I haven't reinstalled AH yet but I will if that could be the problem, this evening.

Let me know,

Curval

What drivers are you using?  30.82's seem the best.  I would shy away from the 4x.xx Detonators.

I have seen this with NVidia cards.  Try capping the frame rate in the video setup of AH.

I downloaded the latest drivers...40.9 I think.

I will try to find the ones you suggest tonight.

What should I cap it at?  45?

reinstall dx8.1, then the 30.82's, rename video.cfg in AH settings folder, it will redo the video settings.

hope it helps

not to worry curval, nvidia sets vsync as default, but if ya wanta check it manually, go to vid settings/advanced/gforce tab/additional properties/open gl tab; there you will find vsysnc box,, should be on by default.
