well, I'm not sure because when I start the CE version without the graphics loader fix I get somehow striped and scrambled graphics. It looks like they are "compressed" to 1/3 - 1/4 of the screen. Graphics are totally messed up But I think that it doesn't flicker then. Perhaps the problem has something to do with the patch *sigh*

hi everyone I've recently decided to play the good old "UFO: Enemy Unknown" again. So I installed the X-Com Collectors Edition but the graphics were messed up. Ok, I installed the handy graphics patch ( ldr_xcom1.exe ) and now everything works fine ... except that the screen is flickering. Or more accurate it turns blank every 2 secs or so for just a millisecond. It isn't constantly flickering. It's the "hey, I'm winking with my eyes like a maniac" effect ... UFO is playable but I don't want to end up as an epileptic - I've tried to turn off or slow down gfx hardware acceleration and the problem disappears but UFO becomes unplayable because the windows pop up very slow - I've also tried to deactivate direct draw with dxdiag. Well, at least I get blank lines instead of whole blank screens then but it's still very annoying my system specs: athlon xp 2200+ ati radeon 9800 pro 1024 mb ram win2k sp4 directx 9.0c ati catalyst driver 5.7 Any suggestions ? And does anyone else have this problem ?
