What could possibly cause the hud and weapons in Blood (no other game exhibits this problem) to flicker so bad they actually become sort of translucent? it only happens under certain vesa modes. Needless to say, neither the game's internal screenshot functionality nor third party applications seem to be able to capture what I'm actually seeing, but it definitely gets worse as resolution increases.

My video card is an AGP GeForce 6200 which allegedly supports vesa 3.0.

Thanks in advance.

I spent some time discovering the optimal hardware combination for playing of Redneck Rampage in pure dos.
The Redneck Rampage uses the same "Build" 3d engine as Blood. Also has the HUD flicker problem on certain hardware.

The hardware I tested that worked without HUD flickering:
Resolution 1024x768:
3dfx Voodoo3 2000 AGP
nvidia FX5200 AGP
nvidia GT6600 AGP
Intel 865 onboard VGA chipset, motherboard Intel D865GSA

Resolution 1280x1024:
3dfx Voodoo3 2000 AGP
Intel 865 onboard VGA chipset, motherboard Intel D865GSA

Resolution 1600x1200:
Intel 865 onboard VGA chipset, motherboard Intel D865GSA

I would have never guessed that, but Intel D865GSA motherboard with internal VGA and P4 3.6GHz is going to be my hardware of choice for Redneck Rampage.
