Bug Chunks (or blocks) flickering!

[zebbieman]

When I play starmade I look at the store and its flickering! It seems to do that to all blocks, they all disappear and reappear! I have browsed the all over the internet and I can't find anything, how can I fix this problem?

Here are my specs

RAM: 8 GB
System type: 64-bit
processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) 17-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40 GHz
Graphics: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600

Is the Option " Use Frame Buffer" enabled under the Settings -> show advanced settings in the Connection setup window ?
If yes .. please post graphcisinfo.txt from the Strarmade/logs folder here

there is a newer Intel Driver available (not that i say it solves the problem ... but you never know until you try )
its Version 15.36.14.64.4080 (10.18.10.4080)

zebbieman get the lastest dev build and check it with rame buffer off, if you have enough time.

no that didn't work...

nope that didn't work. Do we have any other solutions that might fix this problem?

Are you sure it updated your driver? I believe a lot of these drawing issues are a result of not updated drivers as the new build .18999 is using new tech. Of which a driver update is needed.

yes It updated.

Ok if the new driver shows up under the Graphcisinfo.txt settings and your "Use Frame Buffer" Option is on then i am out of ideas.

we would need someone to fiddle around with your settings.cfg and an Intel HD4600 setup that is working properly.
sorry i cant do that because i do not have the required GPU core

i see to have similar problem, i got soem astroid lodain only part of them self, and then disappearing, then i got the station doing the same, along with a Copy of the first rock trying to load inside of it, i see duplicate sections of my ship trying to load at different areas.... and its been only happening recently

I also seem to have the same issue where the game appears to not be able to load all of the blocks that it is trying to load so it cycles between chunks of blocks making it impossible to play

Hello again.

After some testing and seeing the problem on my system and using Lancakes working settings.cfg on my system, please try the following: delete your settings.cfg, start into the game and exit to generate a new settings.cfg, open that new one and change that line as follows "G_USE_VBO_MAP = false". Start the game and see if it works and then fine tune the other settings. Please tell us if that works.

Hey,
i had exactly the same problem and the latest solution from SmilingDemon worked for me!
My System:
Intel Core i7-3632QM CPU 2.2GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT740M
It's a lenovo laptop.

Thanks for Support!

TopPredator ... make sure your system executes Java with the Nvidia GPU and not with the i7 iGPU.
i qoute from a FAQ here :
"2) Multiple GPUs and using the "powersaving one" to run the game (a pretty common reason for all notebooks, or multi-GPU systems):
If you have another graphics-card in your computer, tell your computer to execute java via GPU only. (In the case of NVidia cards you can do this in the "NVidia Control center")
Adding "javaw.exe" to program list in control center and setting it to 'GPU only' usually fixes startup crashs and lower than average FPS,"

 

[TopPredator]

I did that before but it didn't help.

 

[SmilingDemon]

Yes .. switching to the other GPU is not going to remove the flickering in most cases ... but it may improve game performance greatly.
that was the reason i did pointed that out
