    Default Flashing HUD

    Hi,

    I've just started playing ETW again and the same problem I winced through last time has raised its head again.

    After about 20 minutes play on the campaign map, sometimes less, the HUD starts flashing (sometimes quite rapidly which makes the game damn near impossible until it decides to calm down). Bits of it disappear, sometimes unit cards will be blank or show as a partial flag or something else that doesn't belong. Also when I open screens like the research tree and the general Empire maintenance screen with policy and trade tabs they will flash and display out of place patterns and things.

    Here's my rig:

    Intel (R) Core i7 @ 2.67Ghz
    6 Gb Ram
    Nvidia Geforce GTX 295
    Windows 7 64bit
    Samsung Synchroniser 2233RZ Moniter

    and the Empire settings that might affect the Campaign map(?):

    Res: 1680 x 1050
    Shader Model: 3 (High)
    Anti-Aliasing: 8x
    Texture Filtering: Trilinear
    Texture Quality: Ultra
    Particle Effects: High
    Unit Details: High
    Building Details: High
    Ship Details: High
    Shadows: Ultra
    Unit Size: Large
    Trees: High
    Water: Ultra
    HDR: On
    Volumetric Effects: On
    SSAO: On
    Verticle Synchronization: On
    Hardware Shadows: On
    Distortion Effects: On
    Depth of Field: On

    I've recently tried turning some options on/off (to no avail) as I was thinking maybe some of the options I've got on above don't work together well...But maybe you guys can tell me if this is the case.

    Any help/advise on how to get stop this epileptic's nightmare would be much appreciated.

    Cheers for reading.

    I get this problem but for the Battle HUD, Only way I can get rid of this problem is turning anti aliasing off (for land battles, navy battles can handle x2 anti aliasing)
