Flickering fonts with Ati Catalyst 9.8/9.11
Since I had to update the drivers for my Ati/Powercolor HD3650AGP to Catalyst 9.8 (and now 9.11) drivers, I can't play SE5 in fullscreen mode any more, since all the white font is flickering at (roughly) 1/2 fps ?!
No matter what I did to graphics driver settings, or SE5 settings (other than switching to windowed mode), the flickering remains, making the game unplayable.
Any ideas?
(Oh, no, I'm not using Vista, but WinXPProfSP3. I wonder, though, if the "Vista is slow because of the white font writing into DX surface" issue is actually related ?!)
