Hey!
I'm new here, and I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post!

I followed the download instructions, and ran the game. Whatever I seem to do, the upper part of my screen is flickering like mad.
All drivers are up to date. I've tried to reduce the screen size ingame, also tried to put every setting on low/med/high. Nothing helps.
I'm clueless. The game is unplayable with almost half of my screen flickering into black. unhappy

any suggestions?
best regards

Maybe I should add, that the game is flickering on my secondary screen, which is connected with HDMI. Secondary screen is a Philips TV 32"
The game is not flickering on main screen, which is my laptop.

I'm hoping there's a fix, as I dont use my laptop screen at all.

Best regards

Actually the Support board would have been better, we'll move the topic there when you reply next (the URL of this topic will not change). Now moving onto your problem, it's funny that you mention this setup; in fact it's likely that the HDMI cable is causing this problem.

That model should have a VGA port, if your Laptop has one I invite you to try plugging the monitor via this different cable instead of the HDMI one and report back. Worst comes to worst, it's a monitor problem (not driver/gpu problem, but hardware problem; I mention the HDMI because in some computers it actually made the game not start on the monitor).

So another test is to plug a different monitor to the Laptop, if you have one ... and always going with a cable other than HDMI. Do you have other monitors that you can try? Oh I meant to continue that phrase as: worst comes to worst you'll have to play the game on the Laptop's monitor, after we determine that the cable / the external monitor is the problem.
