I can confirm the problem exists with the MSI 9600 GT 512 MB BIOS 62.94.0D.00.02

driver 6.14.11.7474

I saw Rachara's post on the official boards. I was running at the same resolution. 1680x1050 is a common 16x10 resolution for LCDs.


One thing regarding my experience with the chat window not fixing things: I have to admit that I was testing it in one area of the world that I found to be particularly problematic. Perhaps if I tried different areas of the game I would have seen improvement.

I'm glad that they are taking this on.


It's not so serious that it stops me playing, but it is rather annoying to get a whiz-bang graphics card in a new computer and then have this problem.

Fyrie! - we missed you


When I say nonstandard resolution you need to frame in it in the times AC was developed.

640x480 was the default for windows

800x600 was a good resolution

1024x768 only if you had an awesome card

1280x1024 are you insane?

there was one or two above this but I don't remember them.


While technology has marched on Turbine hasn't been on the cutting edge, we all agree on this.


I sometimes wonder if its more apparent in the "nonstandard" resolutions that aren't multiples of the original resolutions.


We've had contact, as you can see here, from Nvidia and have been told we are getting a Level 2 Tech.

The upside is we are taking small steps closer to a solution, but I think it will take a while longer...

"I play ac1 and I used to use 7300 video card"


LMAO, "I play ac1" come on lol. Some nvidia tech doesn't know what the heck AC1 is.

For the last year I played about 10 different 14 days trials but I always get depressed and quit.

Wubbie,


Gotcha. Hrmm.... If it helps at all, I did try using all the old standard 4:3ish resolutions both fullscreen and in a window and I didn't really notice much difference at all. Truth be told, I couldn't find any variable configuration element that made things better or worse.


I'm still keeping an eye out here and on the official boards. I check more-or-less daily still. I need help .

It has been over a week and no reply from level 2 people. Why don't you just log onto the game, get a free trial and in 2 seconds you can see the problems.

I am not sure if this was posted as i don't want to read all the posts.


But the fix to this problem is to move your chat bar up by 1 little increment. Voila the flicker is gone.
