Hi all, I need some help/advice
First of all my system is:
Pent IV 3 gig
1.5 gig of ram
Radeon X1900GT
Soundblaster X-FI soundcard.
Direct-X 10
By todays standards this is not by any means top of the line. But as far as the requirements for IL2, I can run the game with maximum settings no problem.
I had this problem before, which I will describe in just a second. So I uninstalled IL2 completely. Deleted all folders and trace of the game. Reinstalled and patched up to 4.08 with absolutely no MODs of any kind. I was thinking maybe some of the MODs I had were messing with me so that is why I reinstalled the game.
This is kind of hard to describe but I am getting a weird, almost psychodelic screen flickering going on. It is not the whole screen but lines, and triangles and things like that. Totally sporadic when I am flying in a mission. And it also does this, sometimes, when I am on the aircraft customization screen. But nowhere else.
I have tried different resolutions in both 16 and 32 bit depth. I have tried different video drivers in the IL2 setup all the way from safe settings to maxed out, plus all the Radeon drivers. I have tried disabling the stencil buffer. I have tried setting all the video detailing to low quality up to maxed out.
I have changed the config.ini file as the manual states for perfect water which my video card can handle with no problem. I have changed the setting for trees. And I have also tried changing the setting for the 'flickering airfields' mentioned in the manual for I thought that maybe that could have been it too.
The game does not crash at all but I just get this weird annoying flickering/flashing going on. But not all the time. It is totally sporadic and random.
Does anyone by chance have an idea of what could be causing this and how I can stop it?
This is really bugging me because I just can't seem to figure it out.
I'll appreciate any help I can get and thanks.
