Hey all, I believe I need some help with the video-corruption I experience.
I recently upgraded my pc with a Geforce 650TI and since then I have video-issues with AOE2.
To rule out OS issues, I tried on 2 machines:
- On the Win XP: total blackout, when moving the mouse I see parts of the screen, general flickering
- Moved the card to a new Win7 system: I see the whole screen, but the non-LOS zones (semi-transparent ones) are flickering like hell.
When I move to lower resolutions (like 1024x768 or below) everything is perfect. It is from 1280x1024 and above I get this behaviour, on both machines, both in AoC and FE.
I have the latest drivers installed on both systems, and the 650TI works well on all other applications/games.
What did I try:
- Put the old Geforce 210 in: worked perfectly (using the same drivers) at all resolutions
- on Win7: gave admin rights, ran in XP compatibility mode, disabled visual themes
Any idea's, hints, things I can try?
Worst case scenario I have to always swap videocards when I want to play AoE2, but that's obviously not my preferred solution
Any help much appreciated!
[EDIT]: couldn't find the "tech/help" section, so put it here. If this is not the right place, feel free to move it to the appropriate forum.
