Dracula 3: Path of the Dragon on Windows 7 - 04/16/13 03:40 AM
What do you know, not a request for help!
I just installed this game, even though it's my least favorite of the Dracula games (had to put that in there - really the worst depiction of Dracula), and found that the cut scenes flickered. Annoying. At any rate, I found a solution here.
If you don't want to follow the link, the fix is simple. You just locate the Microids file, double click on the Config file in Dracula 3 to bring it up in Notepad, then change the line that mentions fullscreen to read zero instead of 1, so it would be: bFullScreen=0 (And save, of course.)
It's not the best solution in the world, it puts the game in a window, a decent sized window but off to the left of center on my wide-screen monitor. I may end up skipping the cut scenes to play it in full screen mode (changing that line back), but I didn't notice this under the Windows 7 and Games thread so I thought you might like to know, Draclvr.
