White flashing??

[Aphy]

Is anyone else experiencing a random white flash while playing this game? It happens every 5-20 seconds. it made me have to stop playing because it was so distracting. The weird thing is that it didn't start happening until I got past the first hour of gameplay.

White flashing is starting to be a pain no idea how to fix it.

Thank god I'm not the only one, I thought my graphics card was starting to fail and I was gonna loose it LOL.

Nope. Have you updated your video drivers?

Yes! i noticed it a lot there too! Are you running on a RTX 2070 perhaps?

[Slade]

nope just a 1080 was runing around the city for 2 hours b4 going there and as soon as i went inside it started

For me it started happening right after i got to the apartment.

My game is doing the same thing. It started after meeting Victor and hasn't stopped since. A suggestion was made to change the FOV. The flashing seems to have gone away when I set the FOV to 100 but I only tested it for about 5 minutes. Try that. I'm using the RTX 2070 Super

I think i managed to make the flashing go away as well, what i did was change my window settings from Borderless windowed to Fullscreen

I've got black flashing, randomly, every couple minutes that lasts for about 1 second, but the audio stays fine. Changing to Fullscreen Windowed helped if I recall, but didn't fix it. Frustrating as hell though given all I did to give myself the best experience. Drivers are always up to date, extra monitors off, settings tweaked in game (Some shadows and such off to increase FPS), no weird settings in control panel or anything.

Also having the same problem. Radeon RX5700XT, ryzen 7 3700X. White flashing started around V's apartment and is so bad now I can't continue playing. Any fixes/suggestions would be hugely welcome.

This is exactly when it started happening to me. What i did was use the optimized settings from Nvidia geforce experience and made sure it was fullscreen, and it seems that the problem isn't happening for me anymore

I have a similar system, game is running fine 1080p borderless window, 20.11.2 drivers

Thanks for the suggestions but i've tried rolling back to older drivers, the new drivers. updated my bios, updated my vbios. tried borderless/windowed/fullscreen and every combination of graphics settings under the sun and it still persists. What a pain.
