    Hi

    Since upgrading from 11.9 drivers to 11.10, then 12.1 (11.11 and 11.12 gave BSOD) I have noticed any care package or crate is constantly flickering. Everything else is fine.

    Anyone else come across this??

    Thanks

    PS. Anyone tell me how to add a signature, cant find the option anywhere!!

    Flickering? Haven't noticed it personally, maybe tweak your video settings (I've been on 12.1 beta for 3 weeks now). And I don't think you get signature privileges til you get more posts..

    It's possible if your playing online, that it's not fully loaded since there's so many care packages going all over the place. I see a care package everywhere I go in any multiplayer map, cept I never really pay attention to look at them since they're usually used as bait...

    I'd say just ignore it. It seems like such a minor issue especially if it isn't even a care package for you.

    I have this exact same problem, it's the care packages and some vehicles on the street are always flickering aswell.. eveything else is fine, I really don't care much now, but it was pretty annoying when I bought the game... sometimes the vehicles flickering work like a wall hack, I can see through them.

    I had the same problem, not sure what fixed it, game update or GPU drivers update.
    Now im using Catalyst™ 12.2 Preview and MW3 runs great, no flickering.

    "Anyone tell me how to add a signature, cant find the option anywhere!!"
    Go to "User CP" and on the left hand side it should say something like "Edit Signature" I made mine pretty much when I signed up on this forum.
