Monitor pixel errors
Lion4ever opened this issue · 9 comments
Reproduction:
place two monitors next to each other and move sidewards infront of the monitors.
the pixels allways have the text color that was last written there.
I can't reproduce this. If anyone else has seen it, can they post their graphics card info from the F3 screen?
In which case: can you go back through the versions and tell me when it
first appears? Downloads are here:

ok, the title of this issue was wrong.
The first version that has the monitor flickering was 1.76pr0, so it may be a forge 1.8 thing.
I tested it in 1.75 and 1.74 too, the monitor was perfektly black there. But in that versions I had the problem that the game crashes when i join a world while looking at a monitor, which is luckily gone in all 1.76 version 👍
That crash was directly the fault of my grafics card driver...

So maybe i really am the only one having the flickering issue.
I can't reproduce the flickering either. Got a weird shadowy effect under pr4, but it's gone under pr5. Prior to pr4 I was getting white dots, but I'm fairly sure they've shown up in all prior builds (even pre-MC1.8) and pr5 seems to've cleared them too. (Edit: Scratch that, I'd shrunk my monitor and hadn't realised it; adding more blocks and the white dots are back.)
It may be worth double checking that your graphics drivers are up to date. If you simply go in and download the "latest pack for your OS", then you'll not update the software for your (legacy) card at all. With AMD you need to use their Drivers & Downloads Center to get a download specific to your hardware, unless you've got something quite new.
However, the crash bug you encountered was never patched for some Radeon cards anyways; if you're one of the unlucky ones, the only answers are to either start testing older drivers (to find the one before they introduced the problem, a flaw within their OpenGL-related code), or get a different card.
i updated the driver with amds auto installer, but i still have the white dots...
i am going to buy a new grafics card then.
Thanks for your help BombBloke 👍
I suspect you'll always have the white dots, but what about the coloured dots? What about the crashes?
