    Hmm a similar problem sometimes happens on JD. Try lowering your graphics settings.

    I'm having the same problem. When on my tideborn character my entire screen blinks on and off.

    Completely unplayable, and I have a top of the line computer.

    It's a graphics issue in the starting town for the TideBorn, DragonFang Village. There is is a building to the east of "Vanguard Isis" that when I look it (regardless of graphical settings) creates massive graphical lag.

    I have a new computer with a high-end ATI card. My guildies with lower-end PC's don't have the lag.

    I think it's an animation or something that is a problem. I'm going to update my ATI drivers (if an update is available) and try again.

    I'm having the same issue now, the constant flashing, but it hasn't crashed. I can move to some extent during the flashes, but I can't seem to get away from whatever is causing the problem.

    Okay it seems to only glitch out when I look at the main building in the Tideborn starting zone. When my camera is faced away the blinking stops.

    Having same issue but doesn't matter where I go or what I'm facing.

    When I first log into my Tideborn character it seems fine for about 15 to 20 seconds then the black screen blinking starts. It flashes all black and sometimes holds the black screen for several seconds b4 flashing the normal game screen.

    I have a brand new top of the line ATI card.

    And DUH... it's not settings or the rest of the game wouldn't work just fine.

    I can log into my other characters & play them just fine.

    I haven't tried going to Tideborn on my veno... testing that now.

    My veno seems to be ok in Tideborn land with the exception of one blackout screen that hung & then went away. I'm cruising around with no difficulty now in Raging Tide city.

    SO... if it's my card & settings then how can that be happening?

    I'd say it's massive lag from too many ppl being on the new starting site at one time.

    Updating drivers does nothing to change the effect in DragonFang Village. Multiple settings changes both to the drivers and in the game does not change the graphical lag.

    I have 3 computers at home with me.

    Oldest: Windows XP, No graphical gag in DragonFang Village
    Newer: Windows Vista, No graphical lag in DragonFang Village
    Newest: Windows 7, massive graphical lag looking at the main building in DragonFang Village

    Either the problem is with computers with the newest Graphics Cards, or maybe it's Windows 7?

    Hearts filled with lies,
    The contract
    Is it worth the price?
    A soul pledged to the darkness,
    Now I've lost it
    I know I can kill
    The truth exists beyond the gates...

    I have the same problem. Make your way outside of the main starting area to avoid this. This is only a temporary remedy.

    I am also having this problem on my assassin, looking to the main building in the starting zone (almost impossible to walk around) Im running a Windows Vista x64 bit, drivers and Directx fully updated, looks as if this problem is on all the systems.. and at frist I thought it was my Graphics Card/Directx, but I just updated and restarted, still no luck :(

    this exact same thing happened in JD when Ascention came out (personal victim) so its not really new...lets hope they fix the problem sooner than later this time since they should know what to do about it....then throw in that its an entirely differnt game and stuff....but unfortunalty there is nothing we can do about it until the glitch is fixed.
