Random screen flicker
I know there has been some posts about it but other then the random quick screen flickering the game is looking and running great for me.

Does anyone know or have a fix for the random flicker that happends. Not game breaking just annoying.

Started noticing it after a recent patch.

Usually when entering new zones while traveling and it tends to happen on specific spots in some towns too.

Here's some examples

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe_nz22VRN4&t=107s It's timestamped.

Clearly others are affected besides us and all on different hardware too. From what i read, this bug dates back to the beta but i never remember experiencing it even though i partook in several beta tests.

Same problem here

Ryzen 9 7950X3D
64GB RAM
ASUS RTX4090
@3440x1440@144Hz
Windows 11

Tryed several things, nothing helps.
For Example:
- updated Graphics Card Driver
- repaired Game Files
- Uninstalled New World an deleted all remaining Files in Gamefolder and Appdata
- reinstalled game
- disabled G-Sync
- capped framerate to 60 via Nvidia-Control-Panel
- capped framerate to 60 ingame
- uncapped framerate via Nvidia-Control-Panel
- uncapped framerate ingame
- lowered graphics to low ingame
- changed to windowered mode
- diabled vsync
- disabled svm-mode in bios
- tryed on another monitor
- ...


Yesterday i found a Spot, where i can force this screen splash effect to show when entering. The spot is Drachenzahn-Fälle. Right by entering this Spot through the wooden towers, the screen flickers like a bold. I can go backwards an reentering this spot and the splash is happening again.

Nothing above was helping to fix this issue, which is really annoying.
