Shogun - flickering menu screens

[barocca]

Welcome Vlodec to the Org,


the most likely cause

second most likely cause is buggy audio codec.
(cannot find a thread, but there IS a buggy audio codec in ACEMegaCodecPack that trashes shogun - i uninstalled that and it fixed a lot of problems.)

random advice here - graphics issues

and just FYI, i STILL get flashing menu backgrounds, but not every time.
(i suspect it is my video card that shogun does not like)
I am afraid i just live with it, it's only in the entry/exit, not during the actual campaign.

I've had a similar problem with a GeForce 5200 - was sorted simply by setting the graphics resolution to 800x640, but STW has all sorts of problems with modern hardware. Good luck!

after setting the monitor to 75 hz it worked for me ... even the movies were wierd whit higher than 75 Hz ... first i thought my monitor gave up the ghost ...
whit win XP 2nd. my best bet on any sys is 1024*786 desktop 75 Hz 16 bit .. same resolution in the game - there is a video option to use hardware or software this helps sometimes but not always.. on manny pc-s if it is not like this it will not start CTD - crash to desktop is the better wariant, in some cases like pc whit 16 MB vid it freezes needind restart -, funny thing is the game does not use that much of your machine ... sys requirements were if i recall 233 MHz 4 MB vid and 64 Ram ... on my first sys 166 / 4 / 64 Shogun did run for 5 years :P - playabel not constand freezes and frame losses -

as i`m far from beeing an expert, i only can say
Vlodec,
in the org u will find for 99.9 % of the encuntered problens an answer so heads up .. it will work ... just a matter of

codec packs bad
uninstalling good.
