This happened after downloading 3.13 and Br=hruic's 3.13 patches.. HELP!

Perhaps it's the Refresh Rate?

Any ways to fix that? My computer is running on lowest settings :(:sad:

How do I get my screenshots of this onto here, I can't find the folder >_<

Have you tried raising the graphic settings? I'm curious if that would have any effect.

I'll try that now ;)

Anyone any ideas on how to find my screenshots..?

EDIT: In my game files, there is something called DIAG.EXE SafeDisc...is that the problem..I never noticed that before?

Got it...look in Attachment

The only thing I see wrong is that the traits and such won't show up.

The game flickers to quick >_< Imagine having a TV with an aerial and it's postitioned badly, so you have a bad signal..

EDIT: Added new thumbnail, check above.

EDIT2: Two new pictures below

Pic 1: All writing under map disappears and evberything starts flickering like a bad TV

Pic 2: Everything's fine.

*And so on, switching back every 1 millisecond*

Interesting...

What graphics card do you have, if I may ask?

I have no ideas to be honest..I'm only 13..

I assume you are running XP:
click start
click run
type dxdiag
hit enter
click save results

back here attach these results to your reply

That may just work because when I got this computer it came up with you may be victim of system counter-feiting..

I have no idea about this - but the dxdiag results do show your system setup - which includes all your graphics and sound drivers and cards and whatnot - so we could more easily try to help :)

It says everything's fine...


EDIT:

Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5,1 Built 2600)

Anything else you need?

EDIT2: Please note all the problems occured after the installation of 3.13 Patch Unofficial and Official.

Gotta go guys, but I have a solution I'll ry when I have time..


SOLUTION: Take out the patches from my assets.

i would certainly have liked to also see the graphics card details ;)
If your solution does not help - just post again :)

This happens to me sometimes, When I'm moving a unit somewhere the Unit part of the screen keeps flickering. I hit the key "Enter" and it seems to be okay..

Ok ... defineatly not the patches...I'll try unistalling it :( I'll lose my Deity game.

Ok, how do I uninstall this damn game >_<

this happened to me when i first got the game... my solution was new graphics drivers. By new i dont necessarily mean the newest drivers for your card. try the version before it, or the version before that one. Reinstalling DX also couldnt hurt.

Kinda odd how the last patch is waaay to buggy to install..

I thought patches helped bugs.. Not make them.. (Culture doesn't show up on buildings, etc..)

while there are some annoying bugs introduced by 3.13 its definitely more stable than 3.03 and with the unofficial patch runs very fine - so I would not say its too buggy to install...

I had a really bad case of graphic flicker over the week end ... trees coming and going and then turning all yellow. The problem: dust in my desktop computer. The solution: turn it off, crack open the case and blow compressed air all over the place ... cleaned out a bunch of dusk.

Conclusion: PC runs well now.
