Summarize your bug HDR is causing screen flashes and crashes
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. on PC turn on HDR in Windows (Windows 11 in my case) 2. Start the game 3. Play Breakthrough for at least 5 minutes.
What happens when the bug occurs? - After playing for 5+ minutes, the screen will start flashing black for 2 seconds, then come back. It does this about every 3 minutes once it starts. - Every now and then, the game will crash.
What should be happening instead? screen should not flash and game should not crash during gameplay
HDR is automatically controlled in BF2042 (i.e. turns on and off on its own - user cannot control) - at least with the update I'm playing with
If I turn off HDR in Windows and restart the game, I can play for hours without any screen flashing or game crashing.
Temps on CPU and GPU are fine (never go above 75C).
Same issue with an NVIDIA GTX 1060 6 GB
Similar bug in SWBF2, so it looks like its the frostbite engine.
My LG monitor supports HDR.
DXDIAG attached.
