Extreme Flicker

Postby foregone96 » Mon May 31, 2010 11:02 pm

I recently installed Defcon but I am having some problems. It starts fine but as soon as it get to the main menu there is extreme flickering. I'm almost certain its not lag because the cursor does not lag and the sound seems fine. I tried switching resolution but that did nothing. I also tried switching to windowed mode but when it went to the window it was just a black screen. There was still audio and you can hear when the cursor rolls over a button but its just black. After deleting preferences.txt I managed to get back to the normal view but still with the severe flicker. I am using a second display but the other screen on my laptop is turned off so I don't know why this would be causing a problem but I'm not sure. Ive tried updating my video card driver and I have DirextX 11 but the problem still persists. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem or how to fix it?
