I have this problem too. It happens primarily when I land on planets in the cutscene showing the Tempest docking and it happened especially during the cutscene before exiting the first vault on Eos.
Aside from flickering mine also swaps color filter during the flickering, so between the blacks the whole image also turns red, green and blue at random until the flickering stops.
My specs:
Model: Lenovo Y50-70
CPU: Intel Core I7 4720HQ 2.60Ghz (up to 3.80Ghz turbo)
Mem: 16GB DRAM SODIMM 1600Mhz
Ded. GFX: Nvidia Geforce GTX 960M 4GB
Alt GFX: Intel HD Graphics 4600 (unused afaik)
I play the game on custom settings with Resolution scaling at 80% with everything on high except Mesh, Terrain and fauna, Effects and post-processing on Ultra. HBAO is not full and I use FXAA rather than Temporal.
I have played with and without up-to-date NVIDIA drivers and it does not change it.
I have both the black flashes and the the colour change.
I was able to fix the colour change issue by turning of the Automatic detection for the HDR (high dynamic range) to OFF
It was jumping between HDR and Normal I guess which was real annoying kept switching from Super Bright High contrast glorious look to washed out dull urgh colour. Once I turned it off that part was stable.
But I still get the black flashes during convos and at other locations. Really annoying as it sometimes happens in battles too. Mine does not flash, Mine goes completely blank for 3 of 4 secs then comes back. Game still playing while that happens. And it happens alot,
I have a GTX1080 and this problem does not happen on any of the other games I play. Tried changing drivers. No Diff.
Its pretty annoying
Same problem , black screen flickering in certain areas only. Brand new EVGA 1080 , latest drivers , everything else ( over dozen games ) running smooth as butter with no issues on max settings. Its 100 % caused by the game , not hardware. Fix your * EA , really !
I have this EXACT thing happening too. I've got a 1050 ti.
It happens in-game and for a while after I close the game!
It happens completely at random. I can go 15 or 20 minutes without it, then it'll happen several times back to back. Then every few seconds, then it may stop for a while.
I started with the most current version of the NVidia drivers, and I've rolled them back version by version all the way to v375.63 and it still happens every... single... time.
Absolutely serious when I say it happens completely at random. It's annoying, frustrating, and completely breaks immersion in the game!!!
