White Flashing of screen makes game unplayable

[wazoo 0]

Hello,

I'm running Arma on Vista 32 with the latest Nvidia drivers (180.48 I believe).

Anyway, when I try to run the game, the screen flashes white making the game unplayable. It is like a very annoying strobing effect.

I've seen lots of mention of this problem on the Internet, but no offered solutions.

Anyone see this before?

Yes, I had the same thing with vista 64 same drivers and XP same drivers I had to roll back to my previous drivers to get it to work.

It's a shame becuase I was hitting 80 fps!

Thanks for the heads up. That thread showed me it is SLI that is causing the problem with the new drivers.

I filed a bug report with Nvidia and will hope for the best.

Yup got same here. SLI. Flicker Flashes of White.

I played with the 3D settings and tried turning vsych off and tried all the optional render settings.

They all ended up with the the Nvidia dll file displaying a blue screen of hell yeah, followed by a reboot.

I stopped the flickering by using these settings and the 181 Beta drivers. (Uninstalled 180 drivers, rebooted and ran driver sweeper first.)

- Nvidia Control Panel

Set [sLI Performance] to Force split-frame rendering

Set [Vertical Synch] to Force off

PhysX and SLI both Enabled

PhysX version is 8.10.13

i had this problem today with 180.48, i.e. white flickering

i tried changing the settings:

- Nvidia Control Panel

Set [sLI Performance] to Force split-frame rendering

Set [Vertical Synch] to Force off

then ran the game... windows told me it had stopped working.

I then went back into nvidia control panel, changed those 2 settings to original/defaults...ran ARMA, and its worked perfectly since. no driver change
