Why does my UO client screen flash

[Sgtbilko]

Every once in a bit my UO client will flash, like it was redrawing itself... Any idea?

It does that sometimes with razor.. Do you use razor???

I used to get this a lot. Running the Razor client in Windows XP Service Pack 2 compatibility mode fixed it for me. You can run it in Service Pack 3 compatibility as well. I suspect it's a 64-bit Windows issue.

Just right-click the Razor icon on your desktop or start menu, choose Properties from the dropdown, and navigate to the Compatibility tab.

Hope that helps!

I believe its a Windows 7 issue as it never happened to me on Vista 64 bit but as soon as I upgraded to Win7 it started.

it is a direct x compatability issue with windows 7 64bit ... 4 of the grapic libs are configured oddly for screen refresh call commands that are used they will flicker on older graphic game play ... if you are playing full screen do a windowd mode and make sure you do not use razor s force screen size option you can also run it using a virtual pc and it will take care of the issue all togeather otherwise follow advise above and run in compatability mode for razor and also adjust the client to do the same by right clicking on the client exe file and select the compatability mode in the list .

These things should fix your issues (also it s more common on ati vid cards than it is on nvidia cards )
