Flickering screen
Hi,
Found my old copy of Sub Command and decided to install on my Laptop with Vista on it. Everything works great except I got some major flickering going on all screens. I got the 1.08 patch installed. Any tips or suggestions? Best regards/ Niclas Åberg Stockholm, Sweden |

Maybe Vista has some problems with the executable
Have you tried to edit the properties of subcommand.exe to activate either window XP or window 98/Me compatibility mode ? Additionally, try to run the game in windowed mode To do this, add Code:
-windowed edit the properties of your Sub Command shortcut At the target line, you see it end with Code:
subcommand.exe" Code:
subcommand.exe" -windowed And important, set your desktop color to 16 bits (Sub Command windowed mode does not work on 32 bits colored desktop) I hope it will help. |

Hey Nilfix let me know if you have any problems with your Vista always prompting the "speech software" to be activated. Thanks
