Blinking flashlight

Why does my flashlight start blinking when I'm in hyrdocon processing? It's annoying!

I think it's some bug.. I encountered it a few times after a reload in some areas. Try playing further, it'll probably go away at some point, possibly after another save/load.

It went away after a couple of levels and I haven't encountered it since.

For all we know, it isn't a bug but another challenge to the game. A rather annoying one, if so.

Well, it must be a bug, because it didn't happen until I played the game in Windows 7..

I have XP. What did you play the game in formerly?
