Unofficial patch graphical issues

[macdonell39]

Hey folks,
So I'm playing the game with the unofficial patch (2.02) and haven't had issues with the game itself but i have had trouble with the graphics rendering.
Every so often the screen will start to "flicker" showing a previous screen, usually from a previous save or a screen i just left. It will "reset" and show the current screen when i press a key to move the camera.
This is extremely noticeable on the opening cinematics but is happening through the game. not a breaking problem but still annoying.
I suspect it's a problem with the high res settings on my computer but i'd like an opinion before i go messing with them.

I've had this problem after minimizing the game, but only when playing without the unofficial patch ironically. Win 10, Nvidia gtx 1650 graphics card.

I have the same issue.

Did you switch to software rendering?
Hardware rendering is known to cause glitches.

Solved (At least for me)

Adar_blue, no it was set to software rendering automatically for me but thanks for the suggestion.

I decided to just try setting and as I suspected, it was an issue with the high res, specifically double buffer. I just turned that off and it worked.

For anyone wanting to try the settings (again with the unofficial patch, high res module)

find the arcanum game folder. I downloaded through Good Old Games (gog.com) so for me it was in windows (C:) / Program files(x86) / GOG Galaxy / Games / Arcanum
open the HighRes subfolder.
open the config file, which should open in notepad
adjust the settings, for me it was a matter of changing double buffer value from 1 to 0
Save
Double click the _install widows batch file to update the settings in game


Unfortunately I cant guarantee this solution with work or that a mistake wont mess with your game. So, As always, save a copy of your game before trying anything.
