So, my Minecraft started acting up lately after I installed the Windows 8 Consumer Preview (before you ask, I cannot go back to Windows 7). When I go fullscreen, Minecraft starts gltiching out. I can see through walls, but it's not consistent. There are lines with varied thickness that go past my screen from top to bottom, and they cover from left to right. It tends to happen whenever I move my mouse or move in general. Now obviously you do a lot of moving in Minecraft, and thus, I see a lot of flashing. I have tried turning things on and off in video settings, but to no avail. Anyone got any ideas?
The lines and stuff are likely caused by the AA and AF (Anti-Aliasing & Anisotropic Filtering) settings for your video card. You would want to change the setting to, off or let the application decide, depending on what type of card you have.
It could also be that your video card doesn't have good drivers for windows 8 yet. Check the manufacturers website for updated drivers. www.amd.com or www.nvidia.com both of those 2 have released win 8 drivers for most recent cards, www.intel.com has released win 8 drivers for a very limited amount of cards.
Ok, this could very well make me sound stupid...where are the settings for my video card?
It depends on your card, but for all of them I think you can get there by right clicking on the desktop, and then in that menu one of the options will take you into the control panel for your card.
For AMD/Radeon cards, is Catalyst Control Center, or AMD Vision Center -- something along those lines.
No idea what it is for nvidia/geforce cards
For intel cards it's graphic options
