Game running slow: Screen flicker during cutscene and gameplay

[Lucid Leshen]

I purchased The Witcher: Enhanced Edition because I am reading the books and want to find out the rest of the story. It was a cheap for the summer sale, about $2, so I couldn't resist.

I just started it and noticed that the game flickers the screen in places during cutscnenes, at the main menu, and during gameplay. The frame rate is not bad but the flickering makes it difficult to see and may cause frame rate drops in cutscenes. I am running it on a small 2-in-1 computer that I have for school. It's not the best, (I don't do PC gaming, clearly) but I believe it may be my processor falling short on the requirements. If that is the case there is not much I can do. I tried running the game on the lowest settings, but to no avail.

I found this answer for Windows 10 in another thread:
"I found that disabling "full screen optimisation" (right click witcher.exe -> compatability) fixed screen tearing and some stuttering. "

Turning off fullscreen mode fixed all flickering. It also almost pretty much fixed framerate drops during gameplay. There are still drops during videos, but it is actually playable now. Thanks!
