Very weird screen flickering

Post » Thu Oct 14, 2010 4:55 am

I'm on PC and am having a very odd issue with screen flickering. Everytime I look at an oblivion gate, or certain other shaders/screen effects (such as when I get hit and the red appears around the screen), the screen will quickly flicker between what my current screen should be, and a screenshot of just before my last load area. This effect happens for the entire time the oblivion gate is on the scren. I've never encountered this type of present/past screen flickering... has anybody else? Any ideas on what could be causing it?

Thanks in advance!

That sounds like the vid card getting confused. What are your system specs?

Good call! And thank you. Turning off AA fixed the issue.

So what would be causing anti-aliasing to do this? How can I fix this and be able to use AA?
