Windows 10 Flickering Fix

I fixed it lol !! Kind of !

After searching the web and having a fiddle with my files I've got a kind of permant fix for RvS not using window mode either !!

I had the same issue with OGR and found a fix on the Ghost recon site which then took me on to the site which created the orignal program which is used for better graphics and rendering etc.

It uses a ProxyLibrary so when you put the files in your Rvs System folder rather than goto DX12 on your WIndows 10 machine it goes off to pick up a DX9 dll file and lets you the play the game as normal. So yes DX12 on W10 is the cause of the problem !!.


Download the below zip file, just drop the d3d8.dll and enbconvertor config file into the RvS System folder, start the game and job done !. There does seem to be a bit of jerky graphics now and again but its more playable than it is in window mode ! If i can fix that issue as well I'll let people know.

Few graphic tweaks below to get rid of most of the Jerkyness !

Stutter Fix

1)Disable Raven Shield VSYNC
2)Run the game with one core

I know that those solutions have already been posted, but I realized that you have to do BOTH of them for the game to actually always work.

So here is detailed info on how to do those 2 things:

1)

Go to your RavenShield/System/ folder and open ravenshield.ini

Search for the vsync in the text file, and you will find an entry &quot;UseVSync=True&quot;. Change it to &quot;UseVSync=False&quot;. Save and close the file.

Go to your ATI/NVIDIA Control Panel and make sure that the vertical synchronization or vertical refresh is to the option OFF or Application Specific.

That's the first part of fixing it.

2)
You can do it with 2 ways:

Either disable one core by Alt-Tabbing out when the game is open, going to the Task Manager, going to the Processes, right-clicking to the ravenshield.exe from the list and selecting &quot;set affinty&quot;, and deselecting CPU 0.

or the recommended way so you don't have to do this each time you start the game:

Go to your raven shield folder (not the system), and create a text file there. Open with notepad and paste this:

cd system
start /affinity 01 ravenshield.exe

and save the file as &quot;fixedstart.bat&quot; or whatever .bat

Now by double clicking on this file will start the game single-core. You can create a shortcut for this to your desktop for easy launching.
