Graphical Flicker -
SwirlyD - 05.10.2014
Every once in a while, while I'm driving around, my games screen will flicker with sometimes textures or just blackness, but it isn't a persistent thing and I have no clue what is causing it. It's been doing this for a while and I thought I fixed it a while back but it came back and it is becoming worse and worse. If anyone has had a issue like this and solved it please tell me how and I will love you forever.

As a matter in fact, I'll have to +1 on this. I thought it was my GPU issue, but no it only seems to appear in SA-MP but not on MTA or GTA SA Singleplayer.

If you have a AMD video card downgrade to the driver version 14.4, versions newer than that have problems with older games including San Andreas.

Ah... I don't have AMD, mine's a intel integrated, perhaps this could have something to do with it? The card was made in 2013 and is fairly recently updated.

I myself have a GeForce 9800GT not AMD.

Intel cards do seem to have problems with GTA SA & SA-MP for some reason, any chance you don't see the HP bars? If so, you'll have to downgrade your drivers, not sure to which, but look around the SA-MP forums for it.

2. For
Intel graphics I remember this solution:
3. If you have mods go in SAMP and press F5 - If there's no Streaming Memory left when that happens you might need Stream Memory Fix.
I'll think later of more...

Yea, I can't see health bars but that's for a complete different reason that I have looked high and low for. Yes downgrading the drivers would correct that issue, but the main cause of it is windows 8. And in response to memory streaming, yes I use mods, yes I have 1.2 gigs of memory streaming space and the highest I've seen it get is 800mb so I don't think that's the issue either.

I have the newest AMD drivers on an R9 270x, and it all works fine for me. I don't think it's a driver issue.

Yeah, but it was rather possible that it could be a driver issue with Intel, then again I'm unsure, I would like to figure out the issue so I can know whether it is fix-able or not.

As a matter in fact, I myself use Windows 8 and don't have any issues with the health bars. I also know quite some ppl with W8 that also didn't have any issues. So I'd suggest you at least try the downgrade if nothing else
