I tried starting up TLJ yesterday and the character models keep flickering in and out. I've tried:

turning off anti-aliasing
messing with the preferences.ini file
downgrading my NVIDIA graphics card driver (295.73. which seems to be the oldest one I can find)

and nothing seems to be working. I've tried following the instructions to launch in windowed mode/software mode, but that's not working either (I've changed the values but nothing happens to the game). Is there another preferences file I should be messing with? Did I miss a step somewhere?.

Sad, I'd really like to play this game, but I can't stand all the flickering character models.

What OS are you running? I played it recently and didn't have any problem with the latest Nvidia drivers on Win7 64bits...

I'm still using Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

Well, I figured it out, I wasn't editing the %appdata% file, it also turns out I had to add a line to it to put it in software mode. It works perfectly now!

Thanks for all the help!

No problem, enjoy =)
