Screen flickering

[patrickmattie]

Hi,

I have a brand new Lenovo ThinkBook G4 and downloaded Stellarium on it, but when starting it up the screen starts to flicker. It stops after 2 seconds or so, but when i press any of the F1, F2, etc. short cut buttons or the buttons in the left side of Stellarium it starts to flicker again. It only flickers once or twice after pressing the buttons and then never again with those buttons. It sometimes also flickers when dragging the screen. I have updated my laptop to the newest software and redownloaded stellarium multiple times to no avail. Is there something i can do to fix this? This never happend with my last laptop.

I saw something about ANGLE mode, but have no idea how to do that.

Thanks in regards,
Patrick

Please try Qt5-based version of Stellarium.

P.S. Did you have installed drivers for graphics card?

How do i try the Qt-5 based version? I dont think i have installed drivers for the graphics card, I just installed Stellarium, Ascom and EQ-mod. Sorry i'm kinda new to this.

It is the version under the download button marked "Windows 7+" on stellarium.org. Please also look into our FAQ.

1-2 flickers when opening windows may have to be tolerated on Intel-only systems. Permanent flicker would be worrisome. If we don't receive more info, we will close this soon.
