Re: Green Flickering

@N4v1sYou're right, it was worth trying. I repaired the game, but that didn't work. I reinstalled it, but that didn't work. I changed each of the advanced video settings, but that didn't work. I turned all the video settings off or low, and that didn't work. I tried fullscreen, borderless, and windowed modes to no effect.

Now that I got Star Wars: Squadrons, I'm having a similar issue there. There are elements that flicker in and out while I play. No issues with about 20 other games I've played recently.

Since I tried reinstalling both the graphics drivers and BFV, and I only have issues in two games, I'm having trouble tracking down the source. I'm considering reinstalling the OS, but that's a whole day's effort in itself without any guarantee of fixing anything.

    I solved it. Because I have been playing BFV for so long without issue (until recently), I tried to think of all the things that could have changed. One of those is my hardware itself as it ages. I disabled my GPU overclock, and that stopped the flickering. It seems that my graphics card can no longer handle the core overclock that I was using, at least in BFV. I've been using the same overclock settings for 3.5 years, so it didn't initially occur to me that this could be the issue! My hardware is probably just getting worn out at this point.

    Thanks for getting me to think of all the things that could cause this problem. Hopefully this thread will help someone else in the future.

    @narion_k Nice to hear you solved your problem. I had my hardware degrading and overclocks not working anymore before, but that just made my game crash. I didn´t think it could cause issues like that. 🙂
