I am experiencing an irritating flickering on the interface whatever resolution I use and whatever graphic setting I disable. This is true for all series.

The letters appear and disappear from the text, the bottom border flickers, the buttons on the interface as well... constantly, every 2 or 3 seconds, making the game very unplayable despite the graphics run smoothly. There's also some glitch on some polygons which are colored as the fog of war for a few, randomly, as you progressively change the view.

I use the direct 3d, card ati radeon 3450, Windows Vista, compatibility mode tried: 95,98,xp

Anybody has experienced these artifacts ?

Edit: Eventually I've managed to find a combination that works for me:: OpenGL 800x600 in windowed mode, although it is only valid for Blue Planet, for the other two get a lower resolution and the text is barely readable. Besides, with the windowed mode I miss all the magnificence of the full screen but it's something.

I would really want to play FS without the flicker, though

Finally I reinstalled the games not in Program Files, and fortunately, the Open GL test at resolution higher than 800x600 succeeded so that I can play in full screen and it works like a charm.
