could this be a sins entrenchment problem

from Stardock Forums

sins of entenchment beta 0.93.006  when i  am playing the game the ships flicker and shake when ships are moveing or whenever i zoom in or out 

could this be beta problem or with my computer windows vista 64 bit home premium intel core  2 quad q9300 quad core processer 7 gb  ddr2 dual channel memory nvidia  9800 gt video

i have updated my graphics card  set my graphics to low  this does not seem to help the problem  what i mean to say is does this sound more like the game or my computer

Hmmm...you might try a different monitor resolution. I don't know how often  you defrag. your system, but with games such as this installed..they seem to need to be defraged more often..might try that. There could be problems in your registry as well. It's real easy to get junk left over in the registry from uninstalls and people tend to ignore this. Actually it's one of the main reasons Windows gets slower and slower, and eventually crashes if not taken care of occassionally.

Sorry...my suggestions were simply "shots in the dark" so to speak. it's virtually impossible to diagnose a problem accurately in a forum like this. The only other thing I can think of is did you delete the two registry entries associated in the game folder as stated by Stardock support in one of the other posts before reinstalling? ..shrug

i had an issue where when i dropped the anti- aliasing all the colours got weird and started to blur like retina burn (you know when u move a light real fast and u have an after image?) except on the game it happened for ages

so yeah, go to the graphics tab and play with the settings there.... actually, just thoguht of something.... have you tried to put the graphics quality UP?

maybe its cause the graphics are too low so the ships look funny, i know sometimes i put the quality on low to get really buggy entrenchment to work, and the ships lost all colour (turned grey) and lost most of their definition so...

give it a try =) good luck

it seems that setting the graphics to the highest settings and adjusting the nvidia controls helped with the flickering but the icons above the ships still shake
