Hi All,

Does anyone else experience the window 'flickering' as if it's refreshing every few seconds after being logged in for 15mins+?

I'm using a mac (OS X 10.5), only just been able to get back on the game after switching to an intel processor but now this has started playing up.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Ta,

When I first log in, the game window comes up normally, then when I click on it, it flickers (as if refreshing) but that's the only time it does for me.

It hasn't always done this, but as it's such a minor thing, it didn't bother me.

Completely off topic... Are you an Aphex Twin fan?

Completely on topic... Don't know too much about the Mac, but maybe it's something to do with the size of the graphics memory? It's the only place where I can think of the problem being... Any other applications giving you issues?

We quite often get reports of players being logged out from Mac after a while due to memory limits, so it certainly could be a memory issue. Unfortunately I can't test on a Mac so unsure about problems.

A quick search on Google for mac increase java applet memory found the following:

If you add your exact Java version you may be able to get more information.

Cheers for the tips. I've opened the Java settings but am lost when it comes to changing them.. I have the option (In order) of choosing:

Applets

J2SE 5.0 32-bit
Java SE 6 64-bit
J2SE 5.0 64-bit
J2SE 1.4.2 32-bit

Then the same list for Java Application Versions.

It doesn't cause me alot of hassle, i can just close the window and reopen it and it works again for 10-15 minutes before it starts to 'flicker' but it's just an annoyance when i'm playing a big game.

@ Clooneman; I am a fan of Aphex aye, what made you ask?

Thanks again peeps,

Ahh, Windowlicker - just caught on

If you can you should add -Xms32m -Xmx128m to your runtime parameters.

Instructions (but for Windows) are here:

Hopefully Mac has similar options.
