yup, disabling the mirrors has rid the game of the black screen and light constant flickering that would not show up on my recordings. weird, like it was actually affecting my monitor. a fix needs to be done asap because this can cause seizures.
edit: the light constant flickering started for me when the new clouds were introduced and black screen with the latest open beta. solved by disabling the mirrors. why? i have no idea. maybe put out a announcement on steam and here that for safety reasons you'll disable the mirrors in a hot fix or something till they find the culprit. would be a bad look for ED when their customers and fans start having seizures due to the mirrors.
