Re: Flickering sprites (2010-06-23 15:27)

anaximander

After a little experimentation, it seems that the flickering sprites issue is caused by having the cycle speed set too high, not too low. Slowing it right down seems to fix the issue, but also makes the loading screen last for ages. I just tend to dial it down for the in-world stuff, and then back up for the rest to shorten loading times.

Lots of flickering (2009-06-25 09:08)

Rolen47

I got lots of flickering when I played it on v0.73. When I was walking around as a dinosaur all the dinosaur sprites are constantly flickering. It's annoying, but still playable. Setting the CPU cycles to MAX did not help.
