Monitor in Turntable Control Cabin

Monitor in Turntable Control Cabin

Unread postby Tomcat » Sat Apr 08, 2017 7:40 am

Anyone else have the problem where you turn on the monitor in the turntable control cabin and the entire world flickers in sequence with the monitor?

I first noticed this in the scenario Clear Cut but it happens in any tutorial/scenario/service if you turn on that monitor. Turning the monitor off or leaving the control cabin stops the flicker.

Yes, happened to me too. It was so annoying I turned it off and used the alternate views from the cabin to check alignment, they were more interesting anyway imo.

I haven't experienced world-wide flicker, but sometimes the monitor turns itself off when I'm not looking at it: an interesting little quirk in some line of code?

I just did the turn table tutorial and had no flickering. All my settings are as high as they can go.

Just to enlighten me, what are and how do you activate the alternate views from the turntable. I have a hard time telling where I am by using the monitor. I end up using the 2D map which is counterproductive to the immersive nature of TSW.

I think I found them by accident when I hit the arrow keys or it might have been A and D, I have keys mapped to a gamepad with switchable programs, one is for first person/building the other for driving. One of the views was at the upper corner of the cabin, looking left, another was on the deck of the table iirc. I'll see about getting more info or pics this weekend.

The flickering does not occur with my new machine. I think a lot of the glitches, outside from framerates, boil down to computers that struggle to run smoothly. Now that I have experience TSW from a below spec 2nd gen i5 to the new beast I built, I think I can better comment now on TSW.

Did your ASUS come with "boost" utilities (AEGIS II and ASUS App Box)? If so, do you use them and do they make a difference running TSW? [Yes, I know that I'm contributing to the derailing of a discussion thread, but at least I didn't begin it. *!rolleyes!* ]

The Asus has all the options to tweak everything, but so far I have not changed any settings on the ASUS and it's operating as set, out of the box. I've got the unlocked i7-7700 also, but have not found a need to tweak anthing at all on any of the tweakable parts on this build. The thing doesn't even get hot!

I've noticed this bug recently on both my computers - my gaming laptop and my desktop. One is windows 8.1 and one is windows 7, one is AMD and one is Intel, and one has a Radeon card and one is Nvidia. Both machines exceed the recommended requirements for the game. So it is definitely not hardware dependent, and is a bug in the program.

I haven't been playing TSW much at all of late but since this thread is still active and the 'bug' still persists for me I thought I'd post a quick video of what I see when using the monitor in the turntable wheelhouse.

That's the same thing I saw but I actually haven't been back on TSW in some time.

BTW, enjoyed your Vulcan Materials video too. !*brav*!

Clicking on the monitor's screen changes it for me.
