Bug: screen flashes when shift is pressed down-

Post by superku »

Hello!

basically;

I select some random units, i press and hold shift whilst pointing on the units --> screen blitzes me with whiteness, rapidly moving back and forth between white and normal view. its quite annoying as i use shift all the time whilst selecting units!

It doesn't happen all the time, sometimes it disappears for a while.

I didnt find this particular bug anywhere in the FAQ-bug list!

i tried taking a screenie of it, but ofc the screenshot is prob taken "inbetween flashes" cus they all look fine ...

Thanks for reading/commenting!

p.s. intel i7 quad thingie
radeon hd 5870
no extra addons or anything, it happens in ba!!!

Run spring.exe -> edit settings -> set AdvUnitShading to 0
Then click test game and see if it still happens
Then write an angry letter to ATI

Search your harddrive for springsettings.cfg and check you don't have more than one of them? If you do: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.ph ... 36#p549694
