[BaseApp] Warzone2100 Portable:Viewing problems

Upon starting up the screen flickers constantly, like it's out of sync with the refresh rate. In windowed mode the window opens, but nothing displays. It's running, random clicking in the window makes menu type noses, but I can only see the background behind the window.
Have tried unchecking vertical sync, changing resolution, using the in game menu and the portable ini file, moved to data. I'm on a laptop with 1280 x 800 lcd screen.

I feel like your computer is too slow

I get a lot of similar problems when running "big" apps such as that on this really old PC.

I suggest trying to run it on a newer PC.

My pc is still quite quick!

Quick enough to run half life 2 anyway. Warzone's an ancient game, I'm sure I remember running it on a p200...
Thanks for your helpfulness.....

Graphics Card drivers?

How about graphics driver problem? In need of updating? Just throwing it out there.

If only it were that easy...

I have an aging laptop, ATI washes it's hands of laptop drivers saying to get them from my manufacturer. They last updated the drivers 4 years ago...

Well, good news and bad news with the updated rev 2. Still flickers like mad in fullscreen, but now runs fine windowed, at fullscreen resolution....
Changing the in game resolution seems to have no effect on window size however.

But...changing the resolution in the ini file in data does work!

did you..

did you test in on other computers, it may be a specific issue with your "rig" Smile

I also have a 1280x800 HP Laptop, I will test it and report back [Don't hold your breath thou, I'm @ College]

Sometimes making love is just not enough, you have to step it up!
