gumpy Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) I posted this question in the FE forum,but didn't get much input.Can anybody tell me what causes this?It's like my mouse cursor is acting like an eraser trying to erase my debriefing screen background.This happens to me with my FE,SFP1,and WOE games,it only seems to happen after I fly the first mission in each game,it starts right after I end the first mission and follows right back to the main screens.I tried a fresh install of FE the other day and patched it up to the latest version,this is what I gotI tried changing my pointer settings to no avail it sill does it.I have WOV installed it seems to run ok although I did notice it was doing the same thing until I moded it dang near to death,also have one install of SFP1 with the Korean mode installed that runs ok,but my SFP1 with the Battle of Britain mode installed does it.Any ideas guys?Oh yeah I had the same problem on my last two computers to so I don't think it has anything to do with my hardware.

gumpy Posted August 14, 2007 Author Posted August 14, 2007 No apps,and no other programs as far as I can tell. Quote
+Stary Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Looks like system overflow. You DO have latest drivers and DirectX installed? Quote
gumpy Posted August 14, 2007 Author Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Yep all that and then some.Here's what bugs me.Why does it do it on some Third wire games but not all of them? Edited August 14, 2007 by gumpy Quote
jtin Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 What's your FPS ingame? Also, try opening the task manager before you exit the mission (pause and ctrl-alt-del) and after you exit the game see what the stats are recorded in under performance. Quote
+Deuces Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I know what causes it but I gave that up in 1972. Quote
gumpy Posted August 14, 2007 Author Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Oh if we could only go back to the summer of love man.I guess I'll just have to live with it,the computer seems to be running fine.Like I said ,the same thing happened on three different computers,it must be a in game problem.
