    When you go into games even if the refresh rate on your desktop is 100 it switches it to 60, making games very flickery

    steven_49,

    It must be an idiosyncrasy of the game, because my refresh rate does not change when I start a game on my XP system.

    Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java.
