I see a lot of cool Client Mods here, I was just curious if anyone has found a way to fix or solve the UO Client Flash/Flicker in fullscreen.

It seems this issue only plagues Vista/7 users and it's really annoying, I've tried every trick I've found on the web with no success. I have a very large display so I like to play in fullscreen because windowed just seems too small.

Is this something that could be fixed with a Patch or Client Mod? I'm sort of ignorant to those types of things.

In advanced, thanks

Hi

What client version?
What's your full screen resolution?
32/64-bit OS?
ATI/Nvidia/Intel/Matrox/other?
<Derrick> RunUO AI is kind of a functional prototype, which i have hacked into something resembling OSI behavior, but only by complitcating everything

Client: I am running the ML Client at 6.0.1.10 for my AoS Server.

Resolution: My Desktop resolution is 1920x1080 I have Razor force UO to 1024x768 (This flicker happened before the forced custom resolution.)

OS: Windows 7 64x

Video: Nvidia GTX 560 SC

Note: I've also tested this on a Dual Boot with XP and the problem didn't exist.

Screen flicker is definitely not normal.

2 things I would check: graphics driver and directx runtime. First off download the latest DirectX runtime and install it (June 2010?). Secondly, try different versions of your graphics card driver. Upgrade if possible, try a beta driver if possible, and even try downgrading it.

Another idea, it's a long shot: try running your UO client in XP compatibility mode. Not sure if that will do anything but it's worth trying.

Are you using Razor? This could cause flashing in fullscreen.

Return to UO Client
