I love the new dark control, but this blinking glitch is driving me crazy.

Is this something other people are experiencing? Is there a quick settings adjustment to make it go away?

I and my fiancee are having this issue. Horrible on like, DFBs where people try to confuse the hydra heads (what) and make the giant hemisphere flicker until I almost wish I had seizures so I wouldn't SEE it anymore. Not sure if other combos of dark control cause it? I don't use that powerset.

We have different graphic settings, and another model of nVidia card than you.

I thought you could confuse them. With a team full of dark/* I have seen the lost and vahz AV confused (good way to miss the badge).

I verified with a friend that could also see the glitch, and Im pretty sure he is running nvidia too.

Is there anyone that can't see the glitch in game? Im surprised this made it through beta, unless the playerbase is mostly epileptic so none of them were able to bug it.

Yes, you can confuse the hydra. Yes, I can see the glitch, as can my husband. As I recall, he's running an ATI and I'm running an nvidia. It is primarily a problem when used on very large things (like the hydra) or when very close up to what's confused. While I can see it and it does bug me some, it's not a *major* issue because it's something that CAN be mostly avoided visually. (I have visually triggered migraines. This IS something that if I stare at it could trigger one. It is not NEARLY as bad as old-Sonic Res used to be.)
