First time out of the vault
So searching around here I have seen only a small amount of people with this flicker problem. One guy said he fixed it by messing with the systray. Yeah, that doesnt work for me so I guess Im here startin a new thread first post.
Weird thing is that I recently (yesterday) was able to play FO1 on my computer running WinXP. That computer died last night tragically, and now I have a much faster computer running Win7. Oh yeah, and my graphics card was the same in both rigs, an Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT....and yes, I have DLd the latest drivers from NVidia's site today.
I have patched the game to 1.1 (the official patch), and I have installed the hi-res pack here..2.2c or somethin...the most recent one as of today.
It may be worth noting that I was having the crazy miscoloration problem, which was fixed beautifully with the hi-res patch, only thing is now I have this annoying constant black flicker. I have tried it on every resolution, at 8-bit and 16-bit color. In fact, the miscoloration only goes away using the 16-bit option, but the flicker persists in both 8 and 16. There is VERY little information about this problem on the net, either here or at GoG, as I have exhaustively used the search function only to find the best solution is....messing with systray...? If anyone has any insight on this it would be much appreciated as I would very much like to get this game underway, having lost my last save game along with everything else on my old PC. Thank you.
