Flashing Screen when using razor

Anything you find suspicious, things that crash your client, things that crash the server, anything that doesnt work as it should.

Flashing Screen when using razor

Post by zollyanna »

When I use razor i am getting a flashing screen once every few minutes or so the screen will flash. My husband says his does not do this and I know when I have used it before it has not done this. I had removed it and this was a completely fresh install and my hubby has it working with this shard. Instead of me just using the package link. If there is any insight into what could be causeing the blink please let me know when i use the package link and not razor i get not blink/flash. I would love to use razor because it would help with the macros i would like to use but other than that i have a problem using it. most recently it is 3 quick flashes in a row. I wouldn't say anything but I am an epileptic and this could pose a problem for me.

Found this answer at http://www.runuo.com/forums/razor-cutti ... litch.html
My game does this too. About every 30 seconds or so when running UO with razor the screen will flash white for a split second. Has anybody figured out a fix for this? I've noticed that I don't get this error on my Desktop (XP) but I do on my Laptop (Vista).

**Edit** Nevemind I seem to have found the problem to this. If anyone has this problem just go into the General tab in Razor and change the Default Client Priority to Realtime
Try setting the Default Client Priority to Realitme and let us know if it helps.

that doesn't look like it has fixed it now i was looking at something in a bag 20minutes after i set it to real time and it started flashing again it has flashed twice in succession since then.

"it seems if i have uoam on top it will flash i have had razor running for a bit now and it hasn't flashed yet and i have shut down uoam." this was about an hour after this post was origionally put in .

Is anybody seeing flashes that is not using Vista?

Going to try running all three applications in XP SP2 Compatibility mode to see if that helps.

Ever since I started using razor I got those flashes. I also will lose my cursor a lot when I first target something as well. I attribute this to a conflict with Vista as my son and grandson do not have this issue and they are running XP. I always wondered if others were suffering the same fate.

Haven't had much time to play since setting it to XP SP2 mode on Vista to see if that fixes it. Has anybody else?
