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?

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.
