Screen flicker

[unmerged(52350)]

Hi,
I've downloaded the latest patches and drivers and tried numerous screen resolutions and refresh rates but the screen flicker still makes the game unplayable. I do not have this problem with Knights of Honour or Call of Duty 2.
I would be gratefull for any advice.
Thank you

I think that’s everything you asked for in the sticky

You have something running in the background that is causing a conflict.
Number one suspect is Music match, if this has ever been installed on your system then it is the problem, Other than that Some virus checkers and some Internet chat programs like the latest version of Trillian are second on the list.

I have the same thing happening. It's an intermittant flicker like once every 20 seconds or so. Annoying.

Nothing running in the background- I have about 18 processes that run on a very clean machine.

Is one of those process mm.exe or something simmilar?

 

[Dearmad]

No it's not.

Actually I think it's related to transtext and/or the firewall I had running. I'l isolate which one tonight. i turned bnoth off and the flicker stopped.

Yup either of those could be the problem.
