Not aware of any solution, several people have posted about this again, but very few people are forthcoming with information that might be useful to find a common thread as to whats wrong. To try and tech a solution when people are unwilling to say what OS, what driver set and other details that might be useful to people who don't have a series 8 to try this with results in not being able to help and being annoyed that your offer of help is ignored.
there was talk that 169.04 beta drivers partially solved the problem.
there isn't much information after that. Turbine said it was now a known issue and they would be working on it, but nothing further was posted in that thread from Turbine about that.

As other's have said, it is not fixed. HOWEVER, the problem does not exist when running the game with wine under Linux. I know that's not an acceptable solution, but that's what I've been doing to play the game. It is important to note that Decal does not run under wine.

I've got a 8800GT 512, running the 7.15.11.6736 driver (10/19/2007) on Vista, and I don't have any flickering issues.

I was wondering if people with the new 8800GT line were going to have problems or if this was just related to the first generation of 8800s. Gondor, based on your experience, it seems that the 512MB GTs may be immune. Also, I am wondering if it has anything to do with the amount of ram. My 8800GTS has 640. I wonder if the issue doesn't become a problem until after 512MBs of ram. "Flickering" could be a symptom of memory addressing issues.

I'm the one who made that post. I encourage that other people post in that thread as well. In nVidia's eyes, it may appear that there is low demand for a fix since no one else is posting in that thread.

I just updated to the latest driver. It seems to have fixed it.
