I recently re-installed BG2 on my computer, because the old install randomly stopped working (i.e., I couldn't play because I never got past the "play/configure/readme" menu. It just froze up, etc...). Anyway, I reinstalled it, and as soon as I got to the title screen, everything flickered to a blank screen and then to the title screen, at least twice per second. When I tried to start a new game, going into the character creation menu brought the same problem, only this time it flickered from the title screen to the character creation screen. I figured that it would stop when I got into the game, and I was semi-correct;
In the opening scene where Irenicus walks up to the holding cell, there was no flickering. However, as soon as I was able to control my pc, the HUD started to flicker from invisible to visible. Navigation in the play-menu was very difficult, and I quickly developed a headache.
Now, I have a 2.2 Ghz AMD athlon with a 2 gig bus-speed, 1 gigabyte of RAM, and the nVidea 6150 256mb graphics card, with an ATi Radeon 9250 256mb card on standby (you know, just in case the nVidea can't handle something). I have all the video drivers for my card up to date, and I even tried fudging around with the refresh rate of my monitor and the frame rate of the game, to see if it helped. It didn't. I either had a slowly flickering game, or a quickly flickering game. Altogether it's very annoying, especially considering I have to re-start the game to get back all of the progress I lost when my other computer died.
Oddly enough, I have a similar problem while playing Fallout, but not its sequels.
Is anyone else having these problems? If so, how did you work around it?
