Hi everyone, I have what I think is a graphics card problem and I'm hoping I can get some direction.
I just bought a copy of Freespace 2 (20th anniversary edition).
The game loads and runs fine but I get so much flickering (like a strobe light)
I can't play the game.
I've tried chaging the in game settings, I fiddled with disabling sli, forcing Vsync on and off. AA on and off and various screen resolutions and refresh rates.
I can go from a strobe like effect to wide slow bands moving up the screen by changing the above variables but can't get rid of the flickering.
I have a dual core processor and I disabled one of the cores but could tell no difference.
I can play the 1st Freespace just fine, I don't have to use compatibility mode. This is the reason I'm assuming it's a video card problem.
Any suggestion or would buying an older pci video card fix the problem?
Computer specs: OS XP, E8400 processor, 780i motherboard, 2gig mem,
(2) Galaxy 250 GTS sli, 550 watt Corsair.
Thanks, Jim
