Screen flicker in flight

Hi all,

I finally got back to my PC after a lengthy time off, added the new update today, all seemed happy until about 15 minutes into my flight when the main screen of triple setup started to flicker, video below.

If i go out to main menu it stops, if i call the menus in-flight it gets worse.

Any ideas as i can’t fly like this at all. The two side screens are perfect and stable, all 3 monitors are identical. Apart from todays update nothing else has changed, other titles work fine.

Hey @DaveJK9173

It’s unfortunate to hear that you’re experiencing screen flickering in your flight after the recent update. Let’s try a few things to help resolve the issue:

  1. Check graphics settings: Make sure your in-game graphics settings are properly configured for your triple-monitor setup. You might need to adjust the resolution or other settings to ensure they match your monitors’ specifications.
  2. Update graphics drivers: Ensure you’re running the latest graphics drivers for your GPU. Outdated drivers could cause compatibility issues with the latest game updates.
  3. Disable/Enable V-Sync or G-Sync: Try toggling V-Sync or G-Sync (if your monitors and GPU support them) in your graphics settings, both in-game and in your GPU control panel. This can sometimes help with screen flickering issues.
  4. Monitor refresh rates: Check if all three monitors have the same refresh rate configured in your display settings. Mismatched refresh rates can sometimes cause flickering issues in multi-monitor setups.
  5. Test with a single monitor: Temporarily disable your side monitors and test the game on the main screen only. This can help determine if the issue is related to the triple-monitor setup or if it’s a problem hardware related.

I’m glad I found this post, I am having exactly the same issue. Have tried fiddling with lots of setting so no avail. I suspect it’s something to do with g-sync

But what could have upset something like G-Sync? It’s only had the recent world update. And only one screen out of three identical ones?

Same problem here, tried rolling back driver version but still get very annoying fullscreen flickering. Only disabling gsync fixes the problem but that introduces stutters and input lag when using vsync or introduces tearing when not using vsync, so that’s suboptimal. Problem exists in DirectX 11 and 12.

I get fullscreen flickering constantly in flight and when navigating through the menus. It’s almost like the game halts for a second after clicking an option and during that second I get fullscreen flickering.

Having the same issue. Upgraded my card to a 4070 for FG and now I get screen flicker. After reading around only thing that stopped it was turning of Gsync. I didn’t have this issue with my 3080. Only thing that stop the flicking with Gsync on, was setting my monitor to 60hz. Anything above that is flicker city. I can’t stand running my monitor at 60hz, so i turned off Gsync.

I have 2 setup monitor, but i just fly with one, my monitor was Lg, i change it for same monitor thinking it was a monitor problem, then both of them happened to have the same problem, 2 days ago i changed to AOC, 27 2K monitor165hz same as my 2nd monitor thinking this will help but now i got again the problem, any solution? :smiling_face_with_tear:

If your using dx12 I haven’t found any solution.

You tried turning Bloom off?

Bloom is off, updating the nVidia drivers using “clean install” seems to have fixed it, i’m not touching any nVidia settings now.

I had the same problem and turning off G-Sync solved it. But it started when I began to use WASMs as pop up, never before.
