Recentky i notice some flickering on the screen during game play and also in the editor. I am using r7567 in debug mode.

During a game:
If i open the stock inventory (shortcut "i") and just move the mouse pointer over the icons the shadow of trees will flicker (gets bright for a short time). On the bottom left corner is a little area where the fog of war get lifted for a short time. After i have moved the mouse over all wares the flickering does not appear anymore. Then i change to workers tab and the flickering begins again while moving the mouse until i moved over all items.

In Editor: Mostly while clicking the buttons "decrease/increaes" f.e. the in height tools or noise height tool. Depending on the already placed objects on the map the flickering get more less noticed.

Some output from the terminal:

[...]

My computer isn't really up to date (Athlon X2 dual core 5200+), but the game runs with an average fps of 30.

Could someone confirm this? Or should i update my computer face-grin.png

I can confirm this - it happens when I mouse over a ware in the stock window for the first time. If I mouse over the same ware again, no flicker. I guess what happens is that a graphics thingamagog gets updated and redrawn. Could you please open a bug report?

Or maybe it is because my computer is even older than yours face-tongue.png
