Descriptive Problem Summary:

The last "map frame" never seems to be shown in my client. Even when I walk, I always see the next-to-last animation of my walking animation. To see the mob standing in normal icon_State, I need to refresh the Dreamseeker map window to change the client's window size.

Example: If I move myself to a whole different area, I don't see it. I still see myself in the same area. I have to change Dreamseeker's window size to force it to update.

This only happens on my Laptop, not on my Desktop.

The laptop uses Nvidia Optimus, and thus switched from a power-saving GPU to a high-performance GPU (GeForce GT325M, drivers updated monthly).
I have changed the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel to always run dreamseeker.exe on the high-performance GPU.


Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:

Launch a full-screen Dream Seeker Application
Show a title screen .png
Simply relocate the mob (locate() )
Still see yourself in the same area regardless
Change Dreamseeker's client window screen to force update

Though this only happens on my laptop, not desktop.

Expected Results:

See the screen (map) update

Actual Results:

It doesn't

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Every time
In other games? Haven't tried, would believe so
In other user accounts? Yes
On other computers? No


Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)

The client I was using was quite old, but problem persisted after updating

Workarounds:

Change Dreamseeker's window size.
Minimizing/Maximizing also works.
Waiting for ages does not.

This sounds like a problem with your graphics card specifically--it may or may not be anything we can fix, but since I've never seen this happening I'm moving it to unverified.
