When you say flickers, what do you mean? flickers like a CRT would at 60Hz? or flickers as in graphics errors?

Download patch 1.4 and update your videocard & chipset drivers. That's it.

it will push performance and SHOULD correct the flickering. Just download the latest XP Geforce drivers from the official site (if you have xp) very easy to do. Good luck.

It's not a driver issue but a game issue. You need to patch the game for the Geforce 6 series and higher.

Another solution is to run the game in OpenGL mode.

Open the System.cfg file in notepad and set the r_Drivervalue to OpenGL
