Fullscreen Flickering on Nvidia GPU

[RetroMoi]

So, recently my RMVX Ace started having this problem during my playtest. Fullscreen mode is just unplayable now because the screen keeps flickering, and the "reduce screen flickering" option proved itself useless.

Strange thing is, I've recently updated my GeForce 630M Driver, and before that, I hadn't had any issues of that sort. But even when I use my integrated graphics the problem remains.

Anyone got a clue of how to fix this?

bumping because I'm sorta desperate =\

Reinstall the older drivers that worked and wait for the people behind RPG Maker to fix the problem

[necromaster]

For me, I did not reinstall the old drivers... Because I'm using a laptop that has both Intel HD Graphics 4000 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M display adapters, I just went into Control Panel->Systems->Device Manager and temporarily disabled my NVIDIA driver and the flickering in full screen mode was gone.

Since you and I are not the only one encountering the problem (plus a whole lot more other people on the official forums), I was wondering if the developer are already looking into this problem or have found a solution to it?

Would appreciate a reply from the devs (or if a mod could forward the message, that would be great). Just concerned if I were to release something commercially and players start bombarding me with this exact same symptom. I can't go around telling my customers - "reinstall the older drivers".

Thanks.

I don't have this problem (and I have an nVidia card with up-to-date drivers, so maybe it's specific to certain model cards?). But, have you tried adjusting some of the settings via the graphic's card control-panel and try something like ensuring V-Sync is on, use triple-buffering, etc.. See if some settings there may help resolve the issue for you. Other than that, let's hope some forthcoming graphic-drivers update will resolve the issue.

V-Sync is not working perfectly when activated for Game.exe (the file which we want run...) and triple buffering.. do nothing.

I'm in the mood of all others members of that topic: The devs behind RPG Maker Vx Ace must do something and include an option IN RPG Maker to force vSync enabled when in Wide Full Screen !

Tested ALL methods for my part (reinstall drivers, install new, install old) No ones has resolved the issue !

Go project folder and run Game.exe
If you got Nvidia Optimus thingy, then right click Game.exe and run with Intel GPU.

Already tested like that, nothing has changed, but.. Not tested the 'run with intel GPU'
I will check this tool.
Thanks.

Press F1 Ingame and Mark the Option "Reduce Screen Flickering".
Maybe that helps.

[._.Stashed Girl._.]

This option already tested, no help. That's why I use now the engine Fullscreen++ by Zeus81 (without the requirement of breaking the ToS of RPG Maker Vx Ace).

For some Users, it was one of nVidia's recent Drivers (within the last few months) that seemed to cause this problem with certain model cards, and that updating to the most current drivers resolved the issue for them.

Yesterday, I bought the game and I have the same problem (despite of having the latest drivers) in my laptop with a GeForce Gt 555M. However, I launch the game using the integrated GPU and, it works!
I hope this could help you.

[._.Stashed Girl._.]

Will test that Mawashi Geri ok. (And I come back for say if this worked for me too or not!)

Hate to necro, but better by far than making a new thread just to post a fix. Especially as Aтαηα¢ιυѕ never did post back to tell us they got it working okay ;)

If you're running an NVIDIA GPU, you can get rid of the screen flickering in fullscreen by setting the RGSSPlayer to run off your integrated chip instead (providing you have integrated graphics as well).

Easiest way is to open the Nvidia Control Panel, then run a test play from Ace in full screen. After that, back to the control panel, click "Add Program" in the Manage 3D Settings tab, and the player should be in that list of recently ran programs. Just add it (it may change to 'game.exe', but it'll still effect the player) and set the GPU from auto to integrated.

Hope the step-by-step helps anybody else in the future who gets the same issue :)

Just for Information, I never come back to tell if it working or not, because... I just did not try yet since the last time sorry guys..

Use Fullscreen++
