Re: I get a flickering screen when I switch resolution to 3840 X 2160

Hi,  I'm trying to play the Sims 4 in full screen using a 4k UHD monitor with resolution of 3840x2160.  The screen keeps flickering and crashing the client.  I went into the settings file and changed it to window mode and it works fine at that resolution.  It just seems that the full screen won't go.  The Nvidia Drivers are up to date.

Windows 8

Intel Core i7-4770k CPU 3.50Hz

Installed memory 16GB

GeForce GTX 780

  • Hi, I know this post is years old but I was just recently having the same issue and this was the most up to date relevant post I could find. Anyway it seems a few EA games have had the same issues and as a result a "Windowed Full Screen" mode has been added. For all intents and purposes it looks the exact same as full screen mode just doesn't cause flickering and in my case even eases up on CPU use. Just posting this in case anyone else ever comes searching for answers to a similar issue 😇
