[0.15.31]Flickering/Blinking Screen

Post by Eliasdbr »

Hi, I have a Windows 7 x64 Laptop, 1.6 GHz quad Core, 2GB RAM, Intel 3600 series Graphics Card ~750MB VRAM.
When I play Factorio, the Menu, ingame, everything flickers to black. The whole screen. Constantly.
I don't know what to do, I searched in forums, google, youtube, but nothing like this.

EDIT: I'VE SEARCHED IN THIS FORUM ALREADY and I haven't found something like my problem.

EDIT2: The game runs normal, no FPS or UPS issues, but the GUI and the game itself flickers and it does it while loading too.

Your system does not meat the minimum requirements, so I move this to technical help. Even assuming your current issue might be fixable, the performance will be horrendous.
Apart from getting a better system my suggestions would be: Update to latest version of the game, update graphics driver if available, set VRAM usage to normal/medium.
