Really weird glitch

[Baphomet112]

bodies and guns go missing
basically every few minutes or so after playing it the lights will start to flicker and once the lights start to flicker all of my enemies attacking me, my gun, and myself included will start to flicker into invisibility until everything is just gone and invisible i tried looking online for a solution but couldnt find any if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated and ill try and send you a cookie for your efforts

[Baphomet112]

i made a video so people can see what im talking about and this is the classic doom 3

[EchoFiveActual]

Im not sure what it is it might be a problem with youre graphics card

[🍋 Lemonfed 🍋]

have the same problem but I can play at least 20-30 minutes before it's happen , considering I have a new computer I doubt its a hardware problem.

I have this problem too, and it also causes my game to crash, with this message:

malloc failure for 13619772


I found that disabling the steam overlay gets rid of the flickering, but not this crash glitch...
it's worse with Resurrection of Evil, because I can't load Phobos Labs sector 2 without this happening.

[redtiger97]

Well, as soon as I say that, now it loads the next level after I saved an extra time, closer to the end of sector 1. Wierd....

[redtiger97]

Ugh, forget what I said about fixing the flickering by disabling the steam overlay too, I disproved myself a day after I thought I figured that out...

[🍋 Lemonfed 🍋]

for me it's just random , I just keep quicksaving between fight so I don't lose much progress when it's happen.

[redtiger97]

Are your graphics settings at ultra quality?
The only way I could find to eliminate the flickering and disappearing graphics is tune down your graphics settings. (Although it didn't fix my problem of getting a malloc failure once per hour...sigh)

[Boizaum]

have you modded your game in any way? Modding though great for taking screenshots isn't really estensively tested and can brake your game.

[🍋 Lemonfed 🍋]

set at ultra quality , tried to reduce it but it's only make the problem to appear less frequently ... I don't have mod activated either ... since I've just finished the main game I'l try later If ressurection of Evil does the same.
