graphical flickering while moving or being stationary and if zoomed out. Version 0.17.63 SOLVED.

[SharpDShot]

Hello Support team sorry for the big title

First of all i tried lowering the graphics to the lowest but nothing changed.

2-I'm facing this problem from version 0.17.46 or something.. But didn't before. Everything captured in video PLEASE WATCH.

3-I did expect when lowring the graphics..something will happen and this could fix this bug or wait for another release that should contain a fix but nothing came in the change log that could have a fix for this issue.

And finally the explaining part..

First of all when running around the map in fully zoom in this don't happen at all.. but when i zoom out all the problems comes in a sec. and dosen't matter if i'm not walking or running around with a car or on foot or too far or close to my factory.. always i see this flircking graphical thing happen again.

I hope i explaind everything. (I know that i have integrated graphics card and i know it's nothing compared to GTX and AMD cards out there but please don't tell me it's because the graphics card.)

Kind Regards.

See: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=71378, try to find a driver update before editing the config file.

thanks for the fast reply sir.

I do have the latest graphics driver. but it is possable to be the graphics card problem ?

I saw posila reply on the post link you gave me and he did mention this workaround..

buffer-rename-workaround=true

I'll try it out and i'll reply as soon as possible.

The problem came back... yesterday i tried the workaround for about 2 or 3 mins then closed the game, today the problem still persist when i played a little bit longer !

In the stable version 016.51v there is no such issues at all...

Are you sure you set the workaround up correctly and in the correct installation?

[SharpDShot]

This what i did step-by-step...

Went to C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming Then to Factorio Folder Then opened the Config Folder then opend config with NotePad

Ctrl+F to find (buffer-rename-workaround=False And turn it to buffer-rename-workaround=True)

Then saved and opend the game. that's it.

I tried to make the Config to ReadOnly but nothing happend.

If you do it that way you need to remove the semicolon in the line.

I'm sorry how do i do that ?

Hi, now you can also change the option in the game - in the Main Menu, Control + Alt + Left Click on Settings button, then go to "The rest" find "buffer-rename-workaround" and make sure it is checked. Then confirm the changes and restart the game.

I think this did the trick again.. i will play and keep testing and see if something comes up. thanks a lot sir.

I played a lot in the config file.. from what i tested i think the problem is in the Config,I think something is interfering with the graphics or something and causing this issue..

I love your game so much...... keep up the good work.

Kind Regards.
