After the game loads, the screen flickers and appears to move slightly. Is anyone else having this problem. I do not have it anywhere else. Thanks for any help.

Hi,

It sounds like something about how Java talks to your video card; when our Java applet starts up, it would appear to trigger some kind of mode change in the video (we're not asking for one, but maybe the Java plug-in is).

You could try changing the color depth settings (though that shouldn't be necessary!). If you right-click anywhere on your desktop where you don't have an icon, you'll get a menu with either a "Properties" item at the bottom (XP and earlier), or a "Screen Resolution" item third from the bottom (Windows 7):
  • If it's "Properties", choose it and click the "Settings" tab, and you'll see a "Color quality" drop-down list. Normally you want "Highest (32 bit)". If that's not what it is, make note of what it is and then try "Highest" and see what happens. (If it's already "Highest", I really can't recommend lowering it.)
  • If it's "Screen Resolution", choose it and click "Advanced settings". Choose the "Monitor" tab and you should have a "Colors:" drop-down list. Normally you want "True Color (32 bit)". If that's not what it is, make note of what it is and then try "True Color". (If it's already "True Color", I really can't recommend lowering it.)
If playing with that doesn't fix it, I'm afraid it's not something we'll be able to figure out from here. You might find some help over at java.com. You'll probably need to tell them what video card you have and that sort of thing.

Sorry not to have a better answer for you,

Thanks. I am set at 32 bit true color. It only does it sometimes and only on this site. Thanks for replying, will try checking Java
