flickering fix

[Victor]

apparently I managed to fix the flickering problem by changing from DX11 to 10 and putting the game's .exe to run as administrator, with all this done I resolved the camera and water flickering

to change the dx go to documents/assassins creed 3

in the first line change [Graphics_DX11] to 10

How do you change DirectX version?

Didn’t work for me. Next time I launch the game it automatically creates a [Graphics_DX11] block at the bottom of .ini file and the game is still flickering. It seems like DirectX 10 should be enforced in some other way.

After making the change, try to put the file as read-only

Did not work for me. Tried running it as Admin, also set the file to Read-Only after changing to DX10. No effect. Windows 11.

didnt fix for me either.

Supposedly setting the exe to run with Admin Rights could fix it as well;

Should also be able to alter DX version in the ini like OP stated;

Yeah… I feel most of us experiencing this problem already tried everything’s on PC Gaming Wiki and on a local Steam guide—those used to work but something has changed and they don’t anymore. Maybe it’s Windows 11, maybe newer hardware; hard to say.

I vividly remember fixing this problem on my previous Ryzen 1600, GTX 1060/RTX 3070Ti, Windows 10 system by simply running executable as admin. Now, however, on my Ryzen 7800x3d, RTX 5080, Windows 11 system it no longer works.

Furthermore, I’m pretty sure changing [Graphics_DX11] to [Graphics_DX10] doesn’t actually govern which DirectX version the game uses. It simply states that lines under that header are a configuration for the specific version when that version is being used. That seems to be the reason why when I run the game after changing the line it simply recreates settings under [Graphics_DX11] header. Game starts itself in dx11 mode anyway, doesn’t find settings for it and simply creates them again.

I’ve also tried -dx10 launch flag, that didn’t work either.

Has anyone reported this issue to Ubisoft?

Yes, I mentioned this problem to their support, but in the end they won't do anything to solve it, they just sent me a link with possible solutions and nothing else.
