[SOLVED] The game "flinches". Quite badly.

Just bought the game yesterday on steam for 50% discount (yay)
I had no problems whatsoever while playing, it ran like a dream.
But when I launched the game today, it...well, "flinched"
doors opening and closing like crazy, shields going up and down at will etc...
After a few google searches, I found out that framerate limit might be the solution.
So, after I inabled framerate limit, the game worked better,
but not the "smooth as silk" gameplay as I saw yesterday.
still shields and door flinching every now and then....
Any concrete solutions to this?

I suppose you are running the game under Windows?
What graphics card do you use? Have you verified your drivers are up-to-date?
Do you have other software installed that could somehow trouble FTL? Global hotkey programs, screen grabbers, video recorders, something else?
Do you use the Steam overlay? Have you tried disabling it?

Yes, I run on Windows XP.

A proud owner of "ATI Radeon Xpress 1250". integrated, 128MB of crap memory,
there are many like it, but this one is mine. and i hate it.
As of drivers, Yes, they are up-to-date.

Nope, Nothing.

Disabled it, but the flinching continues

Strange behavior like that is usually fixed by one of two things:
1) Verify the game cache in Steam. (Right click on FTL in the Library and go to Properties. It's an option under the Local Files tab)
2) Updating your video drivers. I know you already said they're up to date, but just to make sure everything is ok you might want to uninstall the current ones and reinstall the most up to date.
Sorry about the problems. Keep us updated

1) Verify the game cache in Steam.
This was the solution
After I did this the game is back to normal.
Thank you so much!
