Flashing Screen

from Sins Forums
On larger maps, generally with two or more AI players, after about an hour or so the screen starts flashing whenever you move the mouse, nearly bringing the game to a halt, and corrupting any save games once it starts. I tried looking for any posts about a similar problem, but haven't been able to find one. Is this just me?

Are you running the latest version of beta 4 from Stardock Central? Try running in windowed mode. I bet there is an error message in the background.

Yeah I'm running the latest version, haven't tried the windowed mode yet though. I'll do that next. Thanks.

system specs?

I'm getting that too. I notice rotating away from any stars and placing the camera looking out into space eliminates this problem. I also notice a hell of alot of graphics driver recoveries with all the drivers ive tried but I'm sure thats been addressed for launch.

My specs:

Athlon 64 x2 4600+ 2.4 ghz
32 bit Vista
2 gigs ddr 800
7950 GT ForceWare version 158.24 (seems to be the most stable)

if you run it in window screen wil the framerate be better?
and about the recommend specs the only thing i dont have is a 2.2 duel processor
i got 2,2 single core but i experience drop in framrate [between 10-20-35] later in game
even with a single star
is the processor really important for the framrate? since i got everything else on recommende specs thx
