Title: Flashing screen with FSOpen 3.6.14, The Antagonist mod
Post by: SirCumference on April 11, 2012, 04:00:37 pm
Hi, I recently compiled a copy of FSOpen 3.6.14 RC4 on Ubuntu 11.10. I've been playing through The Antagonist mod, and in certain levels the screen flashes. It generally happens in missions where the screen fades in from white (such as when exiting subspace). At regular intervals of about a second the screen will repeat the fade in, creating a white flashing effect. I have also had this happen where it fades in from black. Does anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it? I haven't had a chance to compile RC5, though I will test that as soon as I'm able.

Thanks!

P.S. Is a debug version of 3.6.14 available?

It's an RC4 problem, I believe it's fixed in RC5.

Yep, run autogen.sh with --enable-debug, i.e.
Code: [Select]
./autogen.sh --enable-debug

Alright, no more flashing in RC5! Thanks for the help on the debug build, niffiwan.
