If you have this problem, please post in here only your CPU type. Nothing else.

AMD Athlon XP 2600+ Barton 2Ghz
AMD Athlon XP-Mobile 2600+ (comes up as Thornton/Barton) 2Ghz

(i get flashing models/textures)

UpTheToon · Nov 16, 2004, 11:35 PM

AMD Mobile 2600

ViRuS2k · Nov 17, 2004, 12:30 AM

Amd 2500+ @2.31ghz

Log420 · Nov 17, 2004, 12:33 AM

AMD Athlon-M 2500+

EDIT: Just tried turning off AI in CCC per a different post regarding the flashing, tripped out textures below the stickies in the forum. No corruption with settings of 1024X768, High , 2X AA, trilinear All are reccommended by game except the 2XAA where the game suggested none. No corrruption for 20 mins. I'll update this if I encounter problems again.

EDIT 2: Ok, no massive corruptions like walls and such anymore still. Have had a few minor glitches, particularly on faces (both the sidekick female NPC and the dictator guy on the tv's) this is the only problem still occurring thus far. . . and they resolved themselves after a loadpoint in the game and the reappeared later again, only to diappear at a load point again. Hope this is helping or whatever. Just felt like I'd keep a running update in the thread applicable to the issue.

My guns keep flickering as well, I have an AMD Athlon XP 3200.....

I am using 4.12 betas... so Ill try another driver set and see if it fixes things.

Geminiwave · Nov 17, 2004, 02:07 AM

I got an AMD AthlonXP 2800+. I get texture flashing on the tops of boxes. At first it seemed similar to what happens in CS:Source on the borders of walls and such(where two walls meet togeather, sometimes there is a very tiny white gap between them) but these ones flash now. Its hardly noticable unless you're near the crates, but its kindof annoying.

Forbidden Donut · Nov 17, 2004, 02:07 AM

Just noticed the same flickering with weapons. Only appears with water behind weapon. I'm using an xp-m 2400+ @ 233fsb x 10.

guys just for a experiment INSTALL the beta 4.10 drivers with old CP pannel.

works a treat

no more flickering LOL

does it fix your problems ???????

TiTaNiUm · Nov 17, 2004, 02:43 AM

Xp-m-2600 @ 2.6

Poppi · Nov 17, 2004, 02:46 AM

See Signature. Major weapon flickering with V-Sync or Temporal AA turned on. Turning both off fixed 95% of the problem for me.

EDIT: Played more with V-Sync and Temporal AA off and weapon/door flickering started up again. Went to the new 4.11s and all's good, except FPS went down. Nice work ATI with your close involvement and this great game.

Ev!L-aLphA · Nov 17, 2004, 02:47 AM

AMD Barton 2500 (overclocked to 3200)

Netrat33 · Nov 17, 2004, 02:54 AM

Athlon A64 3500+ 939pin

There is also a shimmering problem that seems to be with A64 processors

please please please help

Son_of_Thunder · Nov 17, 2004, 03:09 AM

by texture flashing you mean the rainbow colored triangles that flash all over everything? i just updated to the 4.12's from the latest omega's and encountered that problem.

barton 2800+, radeon 9550XT aka a scaled down 9600XT

my barton is running at 2.31GHz

*edit*

i turned AI down to standard and a lot of the flashing went away, but i ended up uninstalling the 4.12's after my computer black screened for the third time.

rivercityrat · Nov 17, 2004, 03:48 AM

changed to the latest omege drivers, based on 4.11 beta i think... maybe based on 4.10 i dunno, anyway, no more flickering....

but i want a fixed 4.12 or 4.11 b/c it ran ALOT smoother with those ATI drivers
