  In which version of AC?  Also, is there any delay at all in between the two Actions?

  Ah sorry!

  Last version I tested it with was 1.53d.

  Also, there is nothing inbetween, just to "Dialogue: Play speech" actions after each other.

  
  

  I feel like I missed something in the speech manager.

  Here is my setup for the action and for the speech manager.

  Right now, in the actions I have an expression tag, but the fade in & fade out inbetween speech actions also happens without the tags.

  Try inserting a [continue] tag at the end of the first line, or giving it a negative Wait time offset value.  Both of these methods should cause the next line to run slightly sooner, which may negate the effect.

  You pointed me in the right direction! Thanks!

  I found a solution

  
  

  tl;dr:

  put [wait][continue] at the end of the line

  
  

  A negative Wait time offset sadly don't change anything in my situation. At first I thought it would fix it (used several values) but it turned out that the length of the flicker varies, and sometimes it also changes instantly

  
  

  With [continue] at the end of the first action, the flicker/fadein&fadeout won't happen. However, it also ignores to keep the text on screen until the player skips it. As soon as the scroll reaches the end, it will go right to the next speech action.

  
  

  So I looked at other tokens, where I saw [wait].

  If I put in [wait] right before [continue] it does exactly what I want it to do:

  
  

  Text appears, it stops at wherever I put [wait] (which I do at the end of the line) and will continue whenever I skipp it. It then goes straight to [continue] which now skips through the next speech line.
