When the 9.10 update came around there were many changes in the client. One of which was some small memory protection which made the old-style lighthack very hard to perfect. For this reason, I'm using what is called a battlelist light hack. Each creature in the batlelist has a "light" value which defines how much they light up, whether it be from a spell, a torch, or the glow of a weapon. I spoof this value to always be full on the players character so it lights the whole screen. When you attack with a weapon with glow, the server resets your light value. It takes me one frame to re-spoof it and that's what causes a blink. This can be fixed but I wont be looking into it until more pressing matters are attended too.

Thanks for the report.

Hi,
any updates on when it could be fixed? Very annoying and I can't play with this blinking. Also I think it is very bad for eyes.
