hello, need a lil bit of help here.
*i searched for this topic but, nil.
So as I said on the title, my screen "blinks" everytime i loaded a game. it was fine yesterday, but then i alt+tab for a while to read something at the forum, when i got back, i got kicked because idling too long at a base. i reconnect, then the blinking starts. the blinking looks like you keep on alt+tab over and over again.
i thought may be my character is just stuck or something, so i made another character just in case. i loaded my newly built character, and after about 5 sec, it starts blinking again

P.S: this is not a permenant solution, I haven't fogured the solution yet, this is more llike a cautious messure.
That's strange. I remember a while ago whenever i started Freelancer for the first time it started blinking strangely, although I don't know if it's the same thing as you have or not.
Would you have any screenshots (time lapse) or any visuals to show us more of what you're seeing?
hmmmm, i dont know how to do that, the time lapse thingy.
the blinking looks like, uh.... you know, if you're inside the game, and then you alt+tab, it goes black and then u got your desktop screen but sometimes there's a black box with the size of your freelancer resolution, and then it goes all black, and then the desktop screen with that black box, and then all black again... over and over.
or well, it looks like, if you got a low-end pc and u try to get your resolution too high, it starts blinking, like that... kinda
That sounds like perhaps a bad install. I suggest backing up your account data through something like Discovery Launchpad (Export the ADF file so you have a safe copy) and reinstall both Discovery Freelancer, and your original Freelancer copy. (Disk)
This is a mere guess, although it's worth a shot unless someone who has experienced this before jots down a post soon.

hmmm, but it works fine yesterday? or may be because of the ENB? because tbh, my laptop is kinda old... but not that old, it still can run BF4 on low setting just fine.
but yeah, ill try to reinstall the game, but may be i will wait for sometime just in case someone got this same problem.
