[QUOTE="htpcoz, post: 44559, member: 13987"] I'm not sure if this is something that is inherent in the use of the DirectX exclusive APIs, and therefore something that cannot be avoided. My system does the same thing, it appears like a refresh/resolution change that causes my HDTV to temporarily (1-2 seconds) lose and regain sync. I am using powerstrip in combination with a VGA -> component converter which could exacerbate the problem. I'm lucky enough these days to not need exclusive, so I've not worried about it, but it would be interesting to see if overall responsiveness of MP would increase if it was enabled. It would be nice to know however if the exclusive mode could be used globally within MP, so when MP starts in fullscreen mode exclusive mode is initiated on startup, and retained until it is closed. This would then avoid the problem with the periodic flickering. [/QUOTE]
