Anyone Else See This....?

When I start up TBCB just before the Alpha Omega Games screen there is a peculiar screen that I can't really describe except maybe it's like when the TV picture goes because the cable's down. At first it was just a flash, now it's about a second. I'm concerned that it is showing longer now and may be a sign of future problems running the game. Wonder if it has something to do with the video card?

Same thing for me. No clue what it is. Hope it's not growing into a problem later!

This is interesting. I quit TBCB but didn't shut down my PC. When I started up TBCB again the main title screen flashed just before the Alpha-Omega Games screen. Don't know what it means, but it only started happening with the new patch 27. I saved the game folder on a CD just to be safe.

What kind of video cards do you guys have?

I think mine's a Radeon (not a technophile), so there's no connection there. Seems like the game wants to display the Title Bout title screen before the Alpha-Omega screen, but can't for whatever reason.

In my continuing investigation into what may well turn out to be a paranormal phenomenon, I installed the latest update of TBCB2 on my internet-connected desktop. It's a Gateway E Series with a Celeron 2GHZ processor and 256 MG of RAM and an Intel Graphics Controller. When I booted up the game I did Not get the strange "herringbone pattern" screen directly before the Alpha-Omega Games screen. This only shows up on my old laptop where I have the game and use it most frequently.

So the plot, like my porridge, thickens....

Kind of sounds like a vid card issue to me. One of my games on my computer flashed up a funky screen because I had a 64mb vid card and now it doesn't because I have a 256mb vid card.

I've got a Radeon vid card too with something like 30 mg. As soon as I loaded the last update I started seeing the same screen everyone else here is seeing. Whatever they fixed before to cause this should be unfixed.

Yep, I get that flash as well but sometimes it's a flash of the menu screen for TBCB while other times I've have it flash a screen of a game I was playing beforehand.

Friend of mine is getting a new DELL laptop and wants to know if it will run TBCB with no problems. It has a T2400 Intel Core Duo processor, a 15.4" wide screen XGA display and 256 mg ATI mobility Radeon video card. I have no idea what to tell him.

I have noticed that it takes tbcb2 a little longer to load than previous versions. I have noticed that little flash you guys are talking about. I havent been able to rid my computer of it.

If this is a video card problem, what card do I get to correct it? I have a 16mg Mobility Radeon card now.
