    It's a little unclear what you are talking about poplap.

    What keeps flashing white? It may be artifacting although i don't know why this would occur in multiplayer and not single player aswell :confused:

    Have you tried lowering the video settings?

    Try shaders on medium which will disable HDR.

    Does it happen on all servers every time you play?

    And lower video settings or a different resolution makes no difference?

    Are you playing on DX9 servers? Try re-installing the game to see if it helps.

    i haven't lowered the settings but if it plays right in Single-player what would it not work in multiplayer. oh when i ran a server on my computer it had no poblem. how do you now it is in a dx9 server.

    Well i can't be sure exactly what is causing the problem. As i said it sounds like artifacting but if that's happening just in this case then there must be issues with the software.
    The things that i would try would be:
    Turn settings down, particularly shaders to disable HDR lighting.
    Try running in DX9 and 10
    Check your firewall, anti-virus setup and any other internet security you hav running. It's also important to only have one of each running any one time eg. one anti-virus software + one firewall.
    Failing that try to re-install the game and see if it works. :)

    When you select a server, it should say on the right side of the screen whether it is dx10 or not. Try both kinds of servers.
