Hi guys,
Really wanting to play MM7 in Hardware mode, but no matter what I do, am unable to eliminate the seizure-inducing grey flashes that strike every 10 seconds or so.
Here's my PC specs:
Intel Core i7 4.0GHz
GeForce GTX980 4GB
Windows 7 64 GB
Have Grayface's latest patch installed, but have tested without and still get the same problem.
Reason for wanting to use Hardware over Software (where I don't get the flashes) is
a) the hideousness of software mode (particularly screen tearing on buildings, doors, and the tops of hills, etc).
b) the weird walking thing seems to be much worse in Software mode, where your party can't seem to walk straight ahead or backwards without veering at a strange angle, like you're being buffeted by winds.
Have scoured the length and breadth of the internet on this topic. Most references are a couple of years old now, but previously solutions seemed to centre on:
- reducing background interference from Windows (eg. windows open, items open in the System Tray, etc)
- fiddling with the compatability settings (eg. disabling visual themes and desktop composition, etc)
None of which seem to eliminate it.
One other thing I tried was using the NVidia Control Panel's 3D settings on the MM7 executable to switch most settings off. Probably the best result I got for reducing the flashes was switching off V-Sync. The flashes remainted but were quicker and centred in the middle of the screen, so less noticable. However the screen tearing I experience in Software mode came in.
Is this still happening for others? Has anyone managed to hit on a solution for running this on modern machines without the flashing? Alternatively, has anyone managed to figure out to fix the moving glitches in software mode? I can deal with the graphics in Software mode if my party wasn't moving like they are drunk...
