After some more testing it appears this is due to degradation of my VRAM. I have now started to see some artifacting in other games which is also resolved by decreasing the VRAM clock 200 MHZ.

My graphics driver was recently updated. I have cleaned/repaired dcs and reinstalled. Neither resolved the issue. My install is pretty fresh so do you still recommend clearing the shaders folder? I did find something that does seem to help. Downclocking my vram down 200mhz using MSI After Burner seems to stop the flickering and stops most of the crashes. I do not experience crashes in any other games using stock VRAM speed so this seems like this is something specific to how DCS deals with VRAM.

The issue I am facing has much faster black flashes. I do occasionally get the effect that is in the video but more often than not it is several black flickers which last less than a second each followed by an eventual crash. I have attached a video of the issue. DCS Black Flicker.mp4

I am experiencing an issue where I will get random black flickering and sometimes entire sections of the screen turning black. This happens randomly and typically followed by a crash a few seconds later. This behavior seems to be even more pronounced after restarting a mission. My system has an Ryzen 5600x with PBO enabled and 32GB ram overclocked to 3600mhz and an rtx 2070. Disabling all overclocking on my ram and cpu does not seem to help the issue. Crash logs are attached. Please help this has made the game completely un playable. dcs.log-20210616-174619.zip
