Strange graphic problem - flashing npc icons(1)Category: Technical SupportApril-3-2014 11:20 AM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hi all,

I have a strange graphic issue, nearly 2-3 days. How it looks? Sometimes it starts just after when i created a game, in town, or another time when i leave town. It starts always the same: in one moment all or just a few npc's icons disappear from minimap of town nad thean fast appear and disappear again, so it looks like they're "flashing" all the time. in this time i have a slideshow in the game - playing is almost impossible. the same issue is outside town, especially with bosses' icons - when i join boss room players' icons and bosses' icons are flashing and game is cutting strongly. it is not an internet problem - when i have this problem my ms is normal - 50-60 ms. it;s not a problem of weak computer - i have i3, 8gb ram and gtx 650, so come on. i switch off all graphic additions in the game - the problem is still here. any ideas? somebody maybe had the same? help!;((

Sys ,

Can you post some information about your computer? You can find this information in the Direct X Diagnostic Tool:

Click on Start
Click on Run
Type in: dxdiag (In Vista, type dxdiag in the search field)
Hit Enter or OK

Click on the Save All Information button at the bottom, and create a dxdiag text file, and copy and paste it ALL here.

Could you also post your D3Prefs.txt file? It's located in the My Documents\Diablo III folder.

What make and model monitor are you using?

Sys,

The refresh rate for that monitor tops out at 75Hz.

I'd set it to 60 and see how it works.

With the game closed, just change the line I quoted above to

DisplayModeRefreshRate "60"

and then try playing again and see if it still happens.

Sys,

That video is from last June. I haven't seen that symptom reported for anyone in a long time now.

For your issue though, I'd have to suggest swapping out the video card next in order to eliminate it as a possible cause. You don't need to use the same kind of card, any that's supported by the game will do.

Sys,

I know it's compatible. I need you to swap it out with another card that's also compatible so as to eliminate the possibility that your card is causing a problem.
