Flashing black screen during race

Post by TashitaFanatic »

Hi guys,

Decided to pick up C2 again for the SoD Definitive Edition mod... I have installed it completely seperate from the original Carmageddon 2 install, and it seems that during a race (in fact, just as the race starts), the screen will flash black multiple times until the race starts.

I tried using the dgVoodooSetup.exe file to try to fix the problem, but it still persists.

Computer specs if it helps:

Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.40 ghz

2048 MB DDR2 memory

Nvidia GeForce 8500GT (DDR2 memory/512 mb RAM)

It could be something to do with the glide wrapper try checking your settings,

if you don't use a glide wrapper than if you mess with the files in the data folder the game becomes unstable and more pron to glitches, It still flashes for me in my game but I find that it does not affect game play. I hope this helps

Well, changing the resolution to "Set by the Application" seems to fix the black screen of doom. Now I cannot run in higher than 640x480, but this is only a minor issue.
