When playing two player, why does the middle screen divider start blinking (sometimes).

Not really a question that is asked frequently ;). Actually this is first time I see that someone mentioned it.

And I don't know why.

Oh.

Well, I think it's caused when the OS manages the video memory, and moves either the front or backbuffer. Then the pointers to the buffers are wrong, and it's not until the next frame they are corrected, so there is one frame where nothing is drawn. So now every time it is flipped, one shows the divider and the other shows random video data.

But's that's what I think.
