Just upgraded to 1.39 and noticed that when I start an app, the video flickers a couple of times before it stabilizes. Anyone else getting this?

What do you mean by "the video"?

Is this not a BlitzMax Max2D bug?

Possibly some flashing during the initialization of the graphics screen?

I seem to remember one or two people complaining about that when the DX9 version was first released.

Chroma: Do you see the same issue if you force your program to use DirectX 7 or OpenGL instead of DirectX 9?

That's a great description of the problem xlsior. I'll try forcing DX7 right now.


Chroma(Posted 2010) [#5]
You're right. DX7 and GLMax2D driver has no flicker on initialization. Only DX9 has it.

But now graphics are choppy with the GLMax2D driver while they weren't under 1.36 version.

Looks like this should be in BMax instead of MaxGUI bugs too. Sorry.

Gonna switch back to 1.36 until the DX9 flicker on initialization and GL stutter are worked out.

The DX9 screen flicker starts with 1.37. But in 1.36 the mouse flashes once before the screen appears (DX9). DX7 is fine.
