Screen flickering whilst streaming

[Cass]

So I naturally wanted to share my reactions and experiences of the game with my friends by streaming on twitch, but I couldn't even get to 1-2 before I encountered an issue. For some reason, whenever the game is being streamed it will cause my screen to flicker on and off.

I've tried lowering the graphics, disabling vsync, running in a window, and even just streaming my whole display instead of just the game, but no matter what I do I get the same seizure inducing result.

I get the same results when I stream to discord as well.

Any help would be much appreciated as I can't seem to find anyone else who has this issue.

Thanks

FOUND THE PROBLEM
So it turns out if your screen is a higher 60Hz it'll flicker endlessly (My main display is 144Hz). Luckily my second monitor is 60Hz and lo-and-behold, running the game on that monitor I get no flickering at all. Hope this helps people

The game's got some SwapChain issues, same reason it doesn't work with AutoHDR out of the box.

Special K may be able to help with this, you can adjust the backbuffer count in the SwapChain settings.

Tried this, unfortunately it made performance considerably worse to the point where the game became unplayable. I applied the profile you used in your other Special K discussion post and ended up averaging 16 FPS down from a stable 60. Though the stutters were gone, I couldn't play like that either

What stutters? The problem you were discussing was flickering.
