Downloaded patch, opened game. Screen flickers every few seconds. Anyone else had this?

I should also mention, it only happens when im in the game. The login screen, character select screen and loading screens are fine.

    Hey there @watts320

    We recommend trying the steps in this article, such as disabling any Add-Ons, to see if they are able to help resolve this issue.

    Had this too. Solved it by turning addon for adaptive video settings off.

    This may/may not help you but just putting it out there in case it does.

    Votans adaptive ones seems a cause, yes.

    I've had that problem since Flames of Ambition. The only "fix" was not using whatever window mode caused it and switching to another. For me it is fullscreen instead of windowed/windowed full screen.

    If I don't play in fullscreen it flashes terribly and stutters.

    "Touch Occlusion" of "Adaptive Settings" causing a brief loading screen. Turn it off.

    What happened to disable all out of date add-ons?

    Worked like a charm, thank you. Thought it was reshade causing the issues :)

    If you mean why the "allow out-of-date add-ons" option was removed, my understanding is that they're now always allowed.
