Hi, Hereby a video of the error. Flashes and colored dots.

I've uploaded the video:

https://youtu.be/0My3-CdZris 

I've used multiple screens (TV Phillips, monitor SamSung 4k and monitor Acer HD) and different HDMI-cables to test Battlefield 2042 XS. All with the same problem...

The Battlefield Xbox One editions works fine.

Also other games work perfect.

Hope that you can help me out.

Heyt @baz-e-baz Thanks for trying these steps, we did recently some upcoming changes, we can check after this update this week to see if this continues. 

Hi there,

In the meantime i've bought a 4k 144hzh 43inch screen, but that didn't matter for the game. Still the same problem. Flickering and dots in gameplay and not in the menu's of BF2042. The white flickering is worse in light environments like the ice map. inside dark buildings only the colored dots show. When i change the setting to colorblind modus the dots will change color...

The Xbox series X stood on automatic updates for games. But i didn't notice any update or patch installed. So i've rebooted the Xbox with factory settings today, set the automatic updates for games to manual and installed BF2042. But then still no update, or is the update in the direct download?

My version, of Battlefield 2042 installed today is 1.0.71.11079. Is this the latest version with the patch #3 included?

Thanks for helping me out.

Greetings,
Bas

Hi,

Still the same problem. Last week i bought a new gaming monitor 4k 144hz, but still the same problems.

Flickering screen in light environments is much more worse then darker environments. The dots change color when i select color blind modus...

I was not aware when the game had an update, my xbox series x updates games automatically. So i've deleted the game, reset the Xbox software to factory settings, changed the option to manually update the game and installed the game. Does this download automatically has the latest patch? The version number of my Battlefield version is 1.0.71.11079.

When i open the setting in the Game it says version 0.3.0 | Code 12,954,202 | Data 4,664,135.

What's next?

Hope you can help me out here. 

Ok, if you need another video then please let me know.

Any news? This couldn't be true with this set of Xbox series X and an expensive 4k 144 hz monitor and still no Battlefield 2042 to play... is there any way to get this solved? Maybe a disc version of the game? Hope you can help me out now...

I have also been experiencing the same issue. I have read through the threads and followed the steps, however I’m still having  issues. Any ideas?

Still no solution here. Never played this game. Thrown away money! I’ve bought series X and monitor for this game. All other next gen games work perfectly. If you have found the solution then please let me know
