Agreed... I really cannot go back to the older drivers for very long. I am willing to do it temporarily, but this really needs to be addressed.
Thanks.

LOL. I just got the updates for my drivers and now no more game. Well seems they will not get around to it for a bit.

This is a turn key game guys. Its a hope for the cash of a bunch of players who are killing time on it. Games that work and have support cost something there not free. Why do you think there is no support button for an admin are GM? Much less a phone number.

Just give it time for Nvidia to slow down there update speed with the new driver are get a ATI card. Id not hold my breath on Nvidia to down grade for a pay to win game.

On the bright side. I think firefly will work to fix it soon. Only a retard would drop nvidia card uses. It be like drooping windows users.

OK. Last driver to work seems to be 285.58. Its from October 24, 2011. (This is for the blinking icons prob with a GeForce card and windows XP. If you do not use the same look up your driver hear. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us)

To kinda fix the prob (If going back is a fix) DL and install the old driver off this link.

Nvidia uses a blanket install so it will not really matter what card you have as long as its Nvidia.



PS. I like firefly so far. The forming players into teams (Parish) from the start is grate. But the lack of a chat box? Ya i know there is a chat window. And if i post and mail half the day i may get a parish member in it to talk. Really add a chat box in the game window!

Just upgraded my drivers to play Diablo 3 and Game of Thrones and now I am getting the same flickering as the above posters...

Any progress on this issue?

Thanks!

I was looking forward to playing this game for a bit. But I've got other games installed on my computer and drivers from 2011 are really not that great if you want to play any newer games as well.

So, I guess I'll un-install this game again. I was actually prepared to pay some cash to get going quicker. Oh well, your loss. Have fun.

Edit: Haha, this is fun. Someone else's post about using their laptop made me remember I also have one. So I thought, how about I try that then. Turns out I get the "There is a problem with DirectX" error on my laptop. Amazing how buggy this is. After an unintsall and re-install I'm getting all sorts of errors. I guess if I had a third computer I'd get a third, different, error! :roll:

Edit: Woah. Even while uninstalling I get errors now. Jeez. This stuff is dangerous. While installing on my laptop I even got a BSoD.

If you are all still having graphical issues then put in tickets to support so they are aware how many players still have this problem. That way they have it on file and can cross check.

Be specific and include screen shots if you can.

This is a problem with the latest Nvidia drivers. Many other games also have similar issues with them. We are waiting on a fix from Nvidia. In the meantime we suggest doing a rollback to the older driver version found here:


(Windows Vista and Windows 7)
http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvi ... river.html

(Windows XP)
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-275. ... river.html
Please try to rollback your driver to this earlier version to see if this corrects your problem.
