Star wars shadows of the empire

[AlexC420]

I am having issues with this game. On the second level it is constantly flashing a white screen, making the game next to unplayable. I find it odd because the first level worked fine...

I think im going to try to get thru the second level to see if the problem continues, but im just wondering if this is a known issue and if there is anything i can do about it.

specs? hmmmm?

specs irrelevant.
Flickering is a known issue that can be fixed in Jabo's config.

You can also just install this plugin and use that for graphics.

I'm just using a stencil. Hello, my name Peg. How to help you?

[AlexC420]

Thanks that worked!

Just incase anyone is wondering how to fix it:

Go to graphics plugin config
Uncheck "hide advanced settings" (why anyone would want this checked is beyond me)
Go to advanced
Check "use pixel pipeline"

Ah, rice. Bland except when useful, eh?

The developers had this paranoia about configuration via the interface taking up space on screen, but those settings were organized on their own hidden tab in fear that someone could be too smart to not notice them--but too stupid to tweak with the right ones.

They aren't even remembered anyway.

Well I played a bit more, and noticed that on the first level, the previous "fix" screwed this level up. Then on the 6th level or so (the bike race) I cant get any settings to fix the flickering!

Any other suggestions or is this game just screwed?

About the flickering, try tweaking with the "Direct3D clear mode" option in the "Rom Settings" tab in the configuration for Jabo's.

I just noticed the issue yesterday, and setting the 'Direct 3D Clear Mode' to 'Only per frame' seems to have solved the issue without needing to set the pixel pipeline setting.
