Help!  ofp loaded 1st time flashes nonstop

Recommended Posts

Can anyone steer me in the right direction? I just loaded OFP for the first time. When I try to play it, it flashes nonstop. I can still see the background and the game starts but it is unplayable due to the flashing. I have a PIII 750, 448mb ram and a Viper II video card (S2000 chipset). I am running WinME. I have no problems playing Unreal Tournament or Quake 3 Arena.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Perhaps try a different display device, by running your Operation Flashpoint preferences program.

Also try different resolutions etc. Maybe this will help...

And when you see the FLASH, it is already too late  biggrin.gif

Maybe it is the HW T&L. Disable this, and try again. A friend of mine is also running under windows ME, and had the same problem. I don't know how he solved it, but he hasn't have the problem since he formatted his HD and installed windows '98 SE.

Still having the same problem. Within OFP preferences, I switched the display device to Direct 3D, Glide and then Direct 3D HW T&L. Still constant flashing. I tried switching from 1024x768 to 800x600, still flashing. Within the advanced function I removed additional lights and lowered max lights, but still have the same problem. Should I try adjusting other advanced functions?

Thanks for any help.
