White flicker on moving through UI after update to 4.2.3
-
Im using the stock heatsinks that came with my cana kit
-
@RedBatman Just take the lid off then and let some air at it. When the Pi is updating it is working pretty hard.
-
@AlexMurphy Well i started this update almost 2hrs ago and its still going, is that normal? I have Comcast Blast internet
-
Damn what could be causing it to take so long.
-
@RedBatman I take it you are in North America. It could just be the local servers are busy at this time. What time is it on the east coast , 9:20pm?
-
Yep it 9:25pm right now, and my mirror is University of Maryland.
-
Okay so 15 mins ago it finished, I still get the white box but the scrolling is smoother now
-
@RedBatman Did you reboot?
-
@AlexMurphy yes I rebooted after I installed.
-
@RedBatman And you definitely updated from source and not the binary?
-
@AlexMurphy yes
-
@RedBatman And you are still seeing this?
-
So I guess I should wait for an official release of retropie?
No I'm not seeing that I'm seeing a white box flicker over the console logos.
-
@RedBatman Okay. What theme are you running?
-
@AlexMurphy Zoid, Carbon, Turnakafan, pretty much any except for the comic book one.
-
@RedBatman Try increasing or decreasing the VRAM in the menu options. I had this and it sorted itself out after I increased the VRAM to 120. Try it from 70 - 130 in increments of 10, You will need to reboot after you change it each time.
-
@AlexMurphy well I set my VRAM to 200 and that seems sort of fixed it, I still get the white box but after I scroll through all of them once after I get out of a game the white box flicker goes away.
-
@RedBatman I wouldn't recommend 200. It may cause stuttering and glitches. Did you try going below 100?, this actually works on some themes too.
-
If you get the white box, you have not updated from source. The issue has been completely removed from ES.
-
@TMNTturtlguy Yeah, it's definitely sorted my end and as I said I updated from source on Sunday. You will know if you have updated from source if you see the black ES splash screen upon loading.
