    Flag and Nametag Flickering

    3.4ghz P4 HT
    DUAL SATA 0
    1gig DDR
    320gig Drives (dual 160's)
    ATI X1600
    430w PSU (Some idiot shipped my rig with a 250, so I replaced it)

    Problem: Flag icons and Player names seem to flicker and are irregular in their appearance. Normally, a players nametag (on the feild) is always present. These are the blue tags for team members and green tags for squad members. You've all seen them I am sure.

    Methods tried:

    All driver updates including complete driver wipe of system, with fresh install in safe mode. (no AV or AS was loaded). Failed.

    Video resolutions and settings changed from lowest to highest. No fix of problem. (including ATI Cat alterations but without touching fastwrite or AGP speed)

    Refresh rate syncronized with desktop/game. Still no fix.

    I have no other texture anomolies or model problems of any sort. I have DXT Textures on and Tripple buffering for OpenGL on with Geometry instancing. What exactly are those flag icons and player name tags on the feild? Sprites? Static meshes? Im not exactly a modeler or animator so I am not sure. Somestimes it seems like an overlay problem because occassionally when I turn my view in different directions, certain flags will apear and certain nametags will apear. Other times, they won't show up at all or they'll all show up normally but for a brief period of time.

    This only occurs in BF2. Although, I have not tried a fresh install of BF2. (haven't needed to and really don't want to unless absolutely necessary)

    Please, advice and possible solutions are greatly appriciated.

    And no, I can't upload DXDIAG results since this form seems to only allow extremely SMALL text files. Weirdness.

    .....

    Anyone?

    ok now thats fuked up. i have a pentium 4 3.06ghz, 533 fsb, 2GB of ddr400 ram and guess what

    an ATI X1600 512MB agp video card.

    But with my x700 256mb it also has the flicker issues. looks like the 1.2 patch screwed it up because nvidia guys are having the issues as well.
