UE 1.08 danish - game screen flickering!

[Immacolata]

I believe my system is adhering to system requirements, using Europa Universalis
danish version. I have installed patch 1.08 downloaded from your homepage:

Pentium III 800 MHz
256 MB memory
Hercules 3D Prophet DDR-DVI (GeForce 256-chip)
- drivers 7.52 from Hercules.
Windows 2000 Professional Danish SP1
Sound Blaster Live!
- LiveWare 3.0 for Windows 2000
Lots of free harddrive space.

I experience that the picture constantly flashes, like it is briefly updating and
turns black, just to show the normal picture a split second later. This is happening
constantly and driving me nuts. I tried version 6.35 and 7.52 of the Detonator 3
display drivers with no luck. I wonder what I must do to keep the game from flickering
so.

No one having that problem?

Am I the only person that experience flickering graphics with Europa Universalis on Windows 2000? I had hoped on some sort of respones from the support team behind UE, but my post has gone woefully unnoticed. So has my e-mail to the support department.

Ithink you are. I've got win 2000 and no problem. It could be

1. your refresh rate
2. your video card
3. your monitor

I very much doubt that it is EU. Did you try dxdiag and see what version of Dx you have and run all the tests?

Refresh rate, hmm? The flickering is not the usual 60 Hz flicker that you get from too low refresh rate. No, it is as if the picture is being redrawn sometimes, and slowly. The screen briefly turns black, then showing the normal picture again. I use DirectX 8.0a. I ran all tests and it reported no errors. Definitely not my monitor either. This is due to software. Either the game, the driver or some other thing on my system. But what? It drives me nuts it does. I have no issues with normal Windows opearation, nor with 3d-games like Asheron's Call or No One Lives Forever.

my recommendation would be to make a thorough report to Paradox AND your video card manufacturer. Unfortunately, you're the first one to report that problem in this forum in the last 2 months.

sorry and i do hope you get the solution fixed.
