Summary: Flickering/Flashing Menu Screen in Steam games Product: Wine Version: 1.0.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: leviwins@aim.com
I am experiencing issues with all Steam games that involves the menu screen to flicker and appear every second for a split second during gameplay. The game loads up and runs perfectly fine, but the menu screen flashes over the gameplay ever second, making it hard to play. At first I figured it was my refresh rate, so I set it to 60 in the game and the game launchers command line, but the problem still persisted. I tried running the game in a virtual desktop, but that caused my computer to freeze. I then tried running it windowed, but the problem still proceeds.
I am using wine-1.0.0 and Ubuntu 8.04. I've had this problem with DOD: Source, Half-Life, and Deathmatch Classic. I haven't ever experienced this problem before, so I'm quite sure that it is Wine.
