Screen periodically turns black, then turns back to normal

[Tye Dye]

I've been having this issue since I got the game (a week ago). Every so often my screen will turn black but then back to normal. Ive had a hard time being able to capture in order to report just what my issue is. So today I finally recorded it from start to end, one thing to note is this happens at least once every other heist and almost never in the menu like this. Im sure it has something to do with my graphics card but here is my issue

Hi. This could be an unmatched refresh rate issue thy caused your notebook to keep having a black screen. You can try forcing the setting in renderer_settings.xml file

1. Open your window explorer or window search bar that is located in Windows icon on the bottom left.
   Copy and paste this line
   

   %localappdata%\PAYDAY 2

2. Find the file called "renderer_settings" right click and open it using notepad or notepad++ programs.
   
3. Find some lines like
   

   	<d3d_device
   		adapter = "Your GPU Device"
   		adapter_index = "0"
   		resolution = "1920 1080"
   		windowed = "false"
   		refresh_rate = "60"
   		aspect_ratio = "1.77778"
   		v_sync = "0"
   	/>

   - Change refresh_rate = "60" or other rate that matches your monitor. (120 or 144)
   - Change resolution = "Width x Height" for example "1920 1080"
   - Change windowed = "true" to test. You can change it later in-game video option.
   
4. Save the file then launch your game to test.

Also. Do you have any mods installed? If you do. Try without them to check.

Switching to "false" worked but I was stuck in windowed mode and switching to full screen from the settings just made the game minimize for a few seconds then went back to the settings screen with full screen disabled again.

Setting it back to "true" and switching the resolution shown in xml to my current resolution worked perfectly. No other value changes needed.
Thanks!!
I was pretty close to throwing the damned thing out in the yard.
More than a little irritating.
