Good day!

Great news! I can not wait as I can try a new launcher.   

Good day!

  I have checked the archives of the game and launcher several antivirus and antispyware. Did not find any viruses, rootkits or the like that. Perhaps the problem in the databases of your avast or a problem in the computer and avast already damaged the action of viruses.
  Try Try another antivirus or a special utility that is designed to detect viruses, spyware, trojans, rootkits and other malware, like avz.

Hello!
Thank you. I am glad that you are doing the game and make it better. I'll wait for the problem is fixed. 

p.s. The problem does not appear in every update, so I decided to write about it. Eg from version 0.9.7 to 0.9.8 has been updated with no errors and after everything started. 

  I have update game to 0.9.9 version with some problems (http://forums.atomictorch.com/index.php?topic=263.msg1754#msg1754).. nevermind i test start game with commandline opengl parameter and have here is (https://www.dropbox.com/s/zwh6l53vke3mryu/VoidExpanse%202014-08-29%2016-58-44-171.avi?dl=0). After alt+tab i see nice picture on the screen (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ap1to1asetqmezv/VoidExpanse%202014-08-29%2016-59-14-015.avi?dl=0).  no blinking!  Btw logs here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/h4ciinzfdnbos2k/Log_VoidExpanse_Server_2014-08-29_17-06.zip?dl=0) and here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/do19c5ebx9slhi3/output_log.zip?dl=0).

  And then I started the game as normal through the launcher. First start game crashes (https://www.dropbox.com/s/8nqml0n8een2n8w/VoidExpanse%202014-08-29%2017-22-17-218.avi?dl=0) without any messages. I try second start and watch again the exact same picture (https://www.dropbox.com/s/7g6oo505kxbw7wn/VoidExpanse%202014-08-29%2017-25-21-296.avi?dl=0). 
  Logs here: launcher logs (https://www.dropbox.com/s/srcsp9dytasdqje/Log_AtomicTorchGameLauncher2014-08-29_17-22.zip?dl=0) and game logs (https://www.dropbox.com/s/bhfow6l5bwpvexl/Logs_1.zip?dl=0).

Do you have any more ideas of what can be done? I'll try to help..

Hi!

I have the same problem as it was in previous versions so I resumed this topic.

When you update the game through the launcher from version 098 to 099 crashes. Downloaded patch file size is about 1.3 MB and the update does not occur. Repair button will appear and when you click on it starts downloading a full archive of the game (about 170MB). The screenshot (https://www.dropbox.com/s/6l50z3a63ysqsgm/loncher_098-099_update_error.jpg?dl=0) shows the download window.

p.s. After downloading the archive and update game from the launcher run normally.

Good day!

I have encountered this problem before so forgive my importunity, but PlayDan try the following:
add a launcher to exceptions in the antivirus and firewall, also check to run the launcher as administrator. If this does not help, then try to run the launcher when discharged antivirus and firewall.

p.s.  If this does not help, then just download game zip and unpack it and play. Distribution of the game in the archive are below on the same page on the site where you downloaded the installation file launcher. 

Hello!

I put these files in the specified folder and was able to avoid a crash. Here are just a picture on the screen was not much better. Watch the video (https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ya1larjjgfrvw1/VoidExpanse%202014-08-29%2014-33-11-656.avi?dl=0). I tested it on the 0.9.8 version.

p.s. As far as I know OpenGL rendering in a very smooth, unlike the D3D. The OpenGL picture itself more colorful and it would be nice if the game was to support OpenGL even be an option. But this is my personal opinion, the decision is yours. 

update:
I try play the game with *-force-opengl*  command and had crash. Logs here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/48o0y0vuqx2bf0f/2014-08-27_234232.zip?dl=0).
  When I started the game I saw a strange set of multi color lines and points. Screenshot unfortunately did not have time to do but it was very colorful. 

p.s. I check my video for work with OpenGL and test is okay. It`s work properly.

Hello!

Well I try this command tomorrow.

p.s. at the top of this topic, I pointed out that the flickering occurs in all modes, and with any graphics settings. 

update:
I checked the current version of the driver and it is whql AMD Catalyst 12.8 was downloaded from amd.com.

I will try play the game tomorrow maybe on the other desktop. There are installed video from Nvidia and CPU from AMD the same (x3), but the motherboard from another manufacturer.

Hi!

Yes, I tried to install the latest drivers and even WHQL or last beta version, but got problems almost all games. Versions greater than 13 probably has the worst compatibility with winXP and so I had to revert to 12. By the description of the driver from the official site of AMD, the current installed driver is the most stable for my HD7770 video. If you have any useful information about the driver, and if it helps to solve the problem with flickering, then tell me, please, in what direction do I search?

Good day!

Yes. All buttons that can be highlighted by positioning the cursor blink so. This occurs continuously. But in other parts of the game such as the single-player game has not yet been seen elements that have blinked as buttons.

Hello!

  I am glad that the launcher now properly updates the game and does not download completely. But after the start of the game through the launcher takes 1-2 games in a row fall. When I finally walk into the game the buttons also continue to blink. Not to say that this is a serious obstacle to the gameplay, but slightly irritating to the eyes.
This problem in all versions from 0.9.6  to 0.9.8 and video is here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/nys2yjj342xwdop/VoidExpanse%202014-08-23%2012-53-08-656.avi?dl=0)

  I am very glad that you are doing a good game and I hope you will soon be able to fix most of the bugs and problems in the game.   

Patcher is fixed in 0.9.8 finally  it is normally update but some time game crash. logs here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/yfhgvn7wzut804k/2014-08-23_040214.zip?dl=0)

update: i add other logs (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ie1eukr9v7hxaqk/output_log.zip?dl=0) (if it needed)

Good day !

  Maybe this problem appears just on WinXP and i can see some trouble else. On WinXP the default 'application data' path is:  C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Application Data  and  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data. I try to find the path  AtomicTorchStudio/GameLauncher/Logs but can find it on the logical disk with the game.

  After i downloaded 'AtomicTorch GameLauncher.exe' from 'My Games & Items' section from atomictorch.com i put it in a folder F:\AtomicTorch GameLauncher and make a shortcut on desktop. In this folder with .exe, there was a directory named %LocalAppData%. And here i found logs folder and two hidden files '.master_auth_key' and '.settings'. By the way here are the logs (https://www.dropbox.com/s/wuclr86x4tgjick/Logs.zip). Finally a path to logs for me looks like this:  F:\AtomicTorch GameLauncher\%LocalAppData%\AtomicTorchStudio\Launcher\Logs.
  Game path founded here: F:\AtomicTorch\AtomicTorch GameLauncher\Games\VoidExpanse and download folder with zips: F:\AtomicTorch\AtomicTorch GameLauncher\Downloads

  I may have done something wrong when launched file 'AtomicTorch GameLauncher.exe' but now it looks as I described.
