Suddenly Index flicker (looks like black boxes)

[sk000tch]

I’ve been fortunate and had no issues with Index/DCS thus far, other than never ending pursuit of perfect settings. Trying a few different approaches suggested here I suddenly had an unusual flicker, almost looks like black boxes shown for a single frame at different size and screen positions. As I was changing settings I assumed it was something I did, so I reinstalled steamvr, rolled back settings, etc... but it’s still there.

 

Took a while to find someone with same problem but I found this hoggit post with video of the same issue:

 

Responses aren’t encouraging other than it being a DCS issue (doesn’t happen in other games for me either. That post is old and I don’t see it being discussed, so I’m hoping this is a solved problem... so, anyone have a fix?

I'm using a Rift S I found I never saw this issue before I had "Fullscreen" checked in the menu in DCS (which did improve performance for me). Then I saw it for the first time. Experimentation seems to show that Launching directly from the start menu DCS shortcut and using the VR dash to a minimal amount eliminates this for me.

 

 

 

One surefire way to make it happen like crazy for me is to use the oculus dash and launch DCS from there or from the virtual desktop app in the oculus dash. If you have the Steam version I'm not sure if this suggestion will be that helpful.

Have you tried running it in non-overclocked state (CPU, GPU, RAM)?

I scaled back my gpu, but haven’t the cpu. I got real lucky in the lottery though, I can game at 5.3 (prime95 will crash), at 5.1 I’m stable at stock. Plus, this only happens with DCS.

 

Tried a bunch of different launching options and doesn’t seem to help. It does seem to come and go so I can play through it, but it’s definitely super annoying.
