Some times the game screen blinks dark/black. it happens between moves, some times when i press space, and some times when i click OK on the buying screen.

First saw it on my ATI card, I thought it may be driver driver issue and didnt report it. Later saw it on Nvida both on fullscreen and windowed mode.

Does this happen even with "full clear" switched on?

Diddn't you remove that recently? There is no check box for full-clear
anymore. it's defaulted On now.

Since you have removed the the "full clear" box, what happens to people who have it off? Is it still off for them or does the change turn it back on for them?

It turns back on, there is no off option in the code now.
I only mentioned it earlier in case they had an older beta.

The black blink has only happened to me when my game resolution was different from my actualy monitor resolution. Not sure if that's the problem, but it has never happened when both were the same. I play on full screen.

Ah wait, on a re-read I think I mis-understood what you are saying.

Let me get this right. Some times when making a move you get one blank (black) frame and then it returns to normal.

Yes.
some times it happends verry quick and i have only sence for a black frame.
it looks like a tempoary lag(freeze) with someting blank. but in the last ver 41(di) i clearly saw 2 Blanks lasting around 0.5 sec!

to summarize it happends :
1. between moves
2. when pressing space
3. when clicking ok on the buying screen
4. final ranking - 0.5 sec
5. between round - 0.5 sec

Is it possible that this effect always exist, but it is less noticeable on fast computers?

I have seen this issue often occur on v40.1 as well. It might have become more noticeable due to the higher system requirements of v41.
