In Topic: Fog of War is flickering on my LCD

24 October 2009 - 12:24 AM

I try recording the game while I was scrolling under 800x600. when i played the video in full size, the fog flashed like crazy, but as soon as i change the size to 50%, the flickering stopped.
Another thing worth mentioning is that fog of war in iwd 2 is formed by separate black dots, while in BG 2 it's real darkness.
I guess this problem has something to do with the way LCD presents images, and the problem could be solved by changing the fog to how it is in bg2. I don't know any anything about programming or modding, but since there's a patch to remove the fog entirely, making this mod may not be impossible. I'd really appreciate if anyone can do this!

This is what i see in the game. i don't know if FOW in IWD2 on your screen are like this, but on mine it surely is. (I made a screenshot and enlarged it in PS to make it more obvious)

This is what i meant how it should be to solve the problem

Edit:
turns out if i turn of 3d acceleration in bg2, the shadow become the same as in iwd2.
maybe the .dll patch made by eddy in the top post can solve this shadow issue, but since i'm not using a nvidia card, i can't find out. So i just want to ask those who had used eddy's patch in iwd2 and was playing on a LCD: was your fog dot by dot and flashing while you were scrolling?
Is not, i'd be thankful if someone can make a similar patch for ATI users. (it's so strange that no one seems to care about ati users, we actually have the same problem as you do...)

I have the same problem. I'm using Vista, display frequency is already 60 in icewind.ini, problem persists. I'm using a ATI card (X1600)
I've tried searching the forum even google, it seems no one has a solution to this. Can anybody help?
BTW, disable dx3D or lower hardware acceleration doesn't work either

Good to hear. :)


@all for dnd: If you don't know how to patch the exe yourself, upload it to something like zshare or megaupload and I'll patch it for you. Oh, I'll also need the res you're playing the game at.


I'm a hexadecimal virgin... so MANY THANKS!
But eh... I don't quite know how to use zshare or megaupload, can I just upload it here?
