I've tried searching for this problem but can't find anything. Everytime i hit the inventory menu or any other menu for that matter the characters & npc's onscreen animation starts flickering.
I'm guessing its the widescreen mod because with it installed the menus don't fill the whole screen when you click on them. There must be a delay between the freeze and the animation stopping.
I'm going to try a reinstall but I played to outside the Mortuary and never had the problem intill now its just started happening in sigil. If it comes to it I'll just play with no widescreen because I'm loving the game and its a shame to throw that away for slightly higher res graphics.

Thanks.

This is normal side-effect from widescreen mod. Originally if you not apply widescreen mod, you will not see any of your character or things that happen in the game, because the inventory or any menu will pop-up into another window that take the whole space of your screen. So this thing not really bother me, since i'm not supposed to see my character at all when i clicking the menus. And you'll lose plenty of field of view with the original resolution; 640x480.

Yeah that's what I thought, thanks for clarifying though. I could try and ignore by just looking at the inventory. Problem is the flickering gives me headaches :( lol. I played for half hour the other day and it just got on my nerves. I think I might try the first notch of Res on the widescreen mod and see if the inventory fills the screen a bit more.

What OS did you use?
If you're running your game on Vista or 7 you can try this patch:

It fix most of ddraw issue and compatible with widescreen mods. Surprisingly since i applied this patch, i no longer see any flickering.

Windows 7 x64.

Oh, nice I'll install that later. Should it be installled after the widescreen mod I'm guessing?

Thanks.

Just had a chance to install and its all fixed no flickering nothing not one bit, thanks alot for all your help and the link to the patch.

I guess it is okay with either way. But for safety, maybe you should install it afer applying widescreen mod.
