<div class="IPBDescription">Shimmerish..</div> Hmm.. don't know where to start...
but anyways, when i play NS i get like a shimmerish-line over the screen (horizontal).

OS: Windows XP Pro
Graphiccard: ATI Radeon 9600 256mb version 6.14.10.6387
RAM: 1024mb
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 3000+

Maybe it has something to do with my fps?

    Nice rig.

    Could you get a screenshot of it? Press F5 in-game when it happens, and then post it here?

    Hmm, i tried to take a screen but it won't show on it. And i checked if i had the same problem on CS but i didn't. Damn, it's hard to describe it. It's like when i move or look in a direction the shimmerish shows.

    Sounds much like a case of 'tearing'... VSync is your friend.

    Maybe cuz my monitor isn't the best at all. But i downloaded Vsync 2.0 but i don't understand ****. All i get is 7 files that i don't know where to put them? I've looked on google....

    Actually, you don't want the 'VSync' program.

    You want to adjust the settings in <b>Control Panel</b> -> <b>Display</b> -> <b>Settings tab</b> -> <b>Advanced</b>. Then depending on your graphics card, if any, you will see a 'GeForce blah blah blah' tab, or the Radeon equivalent. After clicking on the tab, you should then proceed to look for a 'Vertical Sync' setting and turn it on.

    Hmm, Can't find it. I'm Swedish so i don't know what's it called on swedish (VSync). Maybe you can get a screen of it? I have a radeon card btw.

    i went on google a little and found <a href='http://forums.devhardware.com/archive/t-5919' target='_blank'>this</a>

    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->With Vertical Sync OFF: Look at a wall edge (black on white is best).

    So it is Vsync, but i can't find the option to turn it on? :S

    Looks like you have older driver, try this:

    <a href='http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/winxp/radeonwdm-xp.html?type=xp&prodType=graphic&prod=productsXPdriver&submit.x=11&submit.y=9' target='_blank'>http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/winxp/r...x=11&submit.y=9</a>

    If that doesn't work you can try rolling back to older drivers.

    Ah, don't you just love it :-)

    It was just me beeing stupid... i turned v-sync on in the ati option panel (direct x). But i just figured out yesterday (;D) that i run NS in OpenGL haha. So i just turned v-sync on in OpenGL. I guess i just was to frustrated to come and think of that at the moment or something. So i waited a cuople of days and tried to fix it, and i did by turning v-sync on in OpenGL like i just said.
