Hey friends,

I'm sure it's already been mentioned somewhere, I just can't find it. I'm now running Windows 7 on a 22inch Widescreen TFT, and in fullscreen mode when using DFARC (true colour) - The game flickers. When I load just Dink it does not, and when I load in windowed mode it does not. This happens for all games. There's probably a solution around I just don't know it.. Could anyone shed some light on the issue?

I think it happens with fullscreen mode only? I couldn't understand if that was what you meant, but try just playing on Windowed+Truecolor mode. Dink likes to run a little faster without being in Fullscreen anyway

Try updating your video drivers. That worked here for Rabidwolf9.

I have actually got the latest drivers already (I'm running a pretty beast of a machine) - As for Windowed mode, I shouldn't really have to play the game in Windowed mode should I? It's much more immersive fullscreen.

Any smart person out there able to help? I really would like to play fullscreen, could it possibly be some type of vsync as it looks like tearing?

I still recommend Windowed mode as the faster alternative to Fullscreen...
Is this with just Dink or with certain Dmods, or everything Dink?

Try running the game on FreeDink, it might fix the problem.

ExDeathEvn: Fullscreen on a 1920x1680 monitor is a little too small for me too enjoy

Christiaan: I will try that when I get home, thanks
