cannot reproduce Screen flickering

[=BoB= David]

Hi all, I'm experiencing screen flickering during twilight or dimm conditions in general (dusk or dawn). I've tried turning off G-Sync, different screen settings, different detail settings and nothing has any effect, also it doesn't matter what module I have and what map it's flying on. MT or ST also has no effect.

I tried to record video, but unfortunately you can't see it in the video.

Log attached below.

Thank you very much!

I dont have this type of flickering and it seems it was not fixed. Atleast not for me.

@=BoB= David Does it happen exclusively over Sinai terrain or not?

Please attach a short DCS track.

Thank you. I see you keep turning mirrors on/off but I see no flicker on my end. I'll retry with your settings. Please attach your options.lua file, from Saved Games/DCS.../Config.

Yes, for testing purposes, it does not matter as well.

Here is settings

options.lua

I tested with your options.lua but I still cannot reproduce the flicker.

Have you tested it with another monitor?

[=BoB= David]

No, I don't have chance, I don't have another monitor.

Try resetting your NVIDIA settings ("Restore Default").

Also, just in case, empty your "fxo" and "metashaders2" folders (they are located in "Saved Games/DCS..")

I already tried..

And yes, I have on my mind that issue can be with my monitor, but the thing is I've never experience anything like this with other games or applications.

I've been seeing screen flickering as well, on both ST and MT. It's a rare occurrence, like once every few minutes. Trying to investigate if it's some kind of issue with Vsync or framerates, but it's definitely not a monitor problem as I have 3 of them.

Not only does it flicker, but it sometimes shows these weird horizontal static lines about 1/3rd up from the bottom of the screen, like what you might expect in a failing monitor or loose cable. It's most noticeable during dusk and dawn, as you describe, but can still be somewhat seen at night and day. I've tried playing from another monitor, but it does the same thing, and the alternate monitor doesn't have Freesync.

Does what I describe sound similar to what you are seeing? I'm using a 7900XTX and haven't seen the anomaly on other games yet.

Turning on "Global Illumination" appears to have solved the problem.

I noticed this started with the new Steam update.  Both Steam VR and Steam app got updated recently and that's when mine started.
