Screen Flickering on Terminator salvation

[JHONO]

Hi all, Just installed terminator salvation, been looking forward to this game for PC. Thing is soon as i go on the game the screen is flickering quite bad (lines up and down etc) even on the main menu. Also during gameplay the screen is just black theres no visual what so ever, i cant see my character etc only my ammo count when i fire.

Im quite shocked realy about this as i was looking forward to it. I assume this is a driver problem or something, or the manufacter of the game needs to release a patch? Have no idear.

My GFX card is a 4870 X2 with catalyst 9.4 drivers. I dont know if anyone else has had this problem as well?

Other games such as L4D, Killing floor and X-men Origins wolferine all work perfect on max settings and run smooth. Just dont understand about terminator salvation?

Thanks

Try turning VSYNC on or notching the gamma up or down

Hi thanks for your reply, but i dont think there is any option for that on the video settings just resultion and aspect ratio.

Il take a look though

Thanks

Nope nothing there, quite stupid realy for a game to have such limited options. What about nvida phsyX properties?

Thanks

you could try forcing it via the catalyst control but that is one of the things that annoys me about ati drivers, force v-sync never worked.

I believethat there are specific programs out there that can force v-sync.
ok found it, someone mentioned the need for D3DOverrider to force v-sync, i have no idea what it is though, maybe a seperate program or a feature of rivatuner.

RivaTuner can force V-Sync and other graphical settings on or off.

have you got catalyst AI enabled at all thats what caused a couple of issues for me with other games.

in ccc go to advanced then 3D should be like the 4th option down

oh and i'd update to 9.5 they seem to bring quite a few improvements.

Catayst AI is already enabled as the "Disable Catalyst AI" box is unticked so im afraid no luck there.

I dont see why i should have to start messing around with VSync it slows down game performance and im not one for tweaking things around. The game should have this option but it doesnt. Its totaly crap, waste of £30!!!

Thanks for your help anyway, any other solutions would be great, but i can see myself selling this game on ebay.

Thanks

I think adwol was recommending that you disable catAI, no enable it

Hey, I had exactly the same problem as you are describing with my 4870X2 and I just updated to the latest drivers and it resolved the problem. Hope this helps.
