UI "blinking" in 2004 04 24 zip

Post by Cunning » Sun Apr 25, 2004 12:00 am

After building the new zip and starting up EQ I noticed that some of the windows (like the character select and any windows I had set to transparent) would blink...violently.

I ran EQ w/o MQ2 running and I couldn't reproduce this blinking problem. I ran it fullscreen or windowed, with or without eqwindows and that didn't seem to be the cause. I was able to make this stop by removing the mq2fps plugin from my ini.

Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks.

Is there any way of turning the render on in the Background by default?

Having to type /render bg 1 is a pain though far better than the flicker without it?

yes, typing /render bg 1 sets YOUR render default on. Practically nobody else wants it full rendering by default because theyre not fucking crazy

*raises hand* I'm fucking crazy...
I like to play solitaire during LDoN runs, so I like it rendering in the background so I can tell if I need to click over and make something go dead.
