Graphics Flicker, ideas?

The last couple days I've been getting an annoying graphics bug in CoH. Every few seconds parts of the screen will flicker to black for a fraction of a second. I just recently upgraded my video drivers from ATI Catalyst 10.7 to 10.8 and I'm wondering if that might be causing it. Before I roll them back, has anyone else experienced this or got any other ideas on how to fix it?

Seems related to the shadow options, I had these whilst using Vista64 and an 8800GT, soon as I turned off the shadows, it went away.

Not the best option but I guess they haven't quite got the shadows to work properly.

Actually I turned Shadows completely off and still had this problem. It got so bad this weekend that I finally just quit playing. It's rather annoying. I also dropped Ambient Occlusion and I still had the problem.

Also this is already being discussed here and there are some people with some things to try... Good Luck. It'd be nice to hear a red name comment on it though!

Getting flickering graphics too now, mainly any/all water sources flicker around like mad.

This is with reflections/water effects set to high, with no shadows and no ambient occlusion.

Edit: Turning off enviromental reflections or toning down the water effects a notch seems to remove the issue.
