Re: [SOLVED] Running with Scissors (Scissors causing flickering)

No doubt a difference in OS's/Drivers - I noticed when you dragged the window it continued to update, on my system no updates until I stop dragging. Then again, I do my best to turn off every bell and whistle on my system - animated/transparent windows, themes, all that crap - so it could be my faul...

Re: [SOLVED] Running with Scissors

Seems the issue was the MSAA setting - I had it on 0, changed it to 1, works like a charm. Thanks again Bigfoot for all your help.

Re: Running with Scissors

Really appreciate you looking into it this much. I might try downgrading to the 470 drivers see if that does anything... Other than that there's not a lot I can think of to change on my system.

Re: Running with Scissors

I had meant to include in the OP that I was aware this was easily solvable with other methods. Scissors, by their very definition, and specifically that they clip graphics.clear(), lead me to believe updating only a part of the screen was possible, so that's what I tried - it didn't work for me, but...

Re: Running with Scissors

Thanks for helping out, unfortunately a driver update and the code above haven't solved the issue. The only driver setting that dealt with buffers was the 'TripleBuffering' setting for Nvidia GTX 980 - both on and off no change. Oh well, it's not the end of the world. Thanks again!

Re: Running with Scissors

Nope, no misunderstanding - for me the green side flickers black/green 60x a second - must be either a graphics/driver setting on my end. Any ideas where to start troubleshooting?

Re: Is luasec a thing?

Funny enough, this whole adventure started off trying to figure out how to install luarocks... The all-in-one installer (who's install options make my head spin) makes mention of MinGW, I can't tell if it comes bundled with luarocks or if I need to install it separately, which led me to the MinGW Do...

Re: Is luasec a thing?

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I will admit up front that I have a very, very general understanding of compiling and the tools used. I can only think of one project - CDDA - in which I successfully compiled source code, and that was with a fair amount of hand holding, and a comp...
