Minor video problem

[Two Smoking Guns]

Hi,

I have some dark spots flash on the map in games with lots of units on screen.

Anybody look at my log file and offer advice?

Thanks!

Can you please check to see if your video card has the most up to date drivers. Also could you list your hardware specs?

Telling us your hardware specs is not needed for this. Go here to check if there are any graphics drivers for your system. Click on "Check your system for the latest updates". Update if available and see if the problem is gone after that. If there is no update or the problem persists, let us know.

Thanks fellas.

It's a Dell desktop, integrated graphics, and the latest graphics driver update is from 2008.

Anyway It worked great with 1.72, ran up to 50 fps even on busy maps.

It runs 1.8 at high frame rates, but I get these blotches that just appear for a frame or two.

I got another comp in mind with a full-size video card slot and I am sure this will fix it.

Thanks for continuing to improve the game! The updates are very welcome.
