WHITE/BLUE FLASHING LIGHT BUG [NVIDIA]

[Capza]

Hello, im getting a flashbang bug, that only occurs after playing for 15-30 minutes of gameplay, it especially so annoying when entering night time. the flashbang comes from light source, for example like torch, lantern or bonfire, etc. it glows so much, to the point i cant see a thing, its like an nuclear mushroom cloud.

Im using RTX 4050 with i5 13th, with mostly all high setting and medium. im using DLSS quality only, not using frame generation. exclusive fullscreen and no vsync. I got like 70-80fps average, but after the flashbang occurs i got significantly lower fps, like 40-50fps avg.

ive updated all of my drivers (using experimental NVIDIA driver for performance tuning) and my BIOS. my laptop is brand new, only 3 months old. its an Acer predator helios neo 16, doesnt have any problem with other games. only this game, i got flashing white/blue lights, literally unplayable.

Most of the fix i found online was for AMD users, to disable their instant replay or factory resetting their AMD driver. please help.

The “Ghost of Tsushima flashbang bug” is a visual glitch that some players have reported experiencing in the game. It appears to be an issue with the game’s rendering engine, causing a flash of light or a “flashbang” effect to occur on the screen. This can be accompanied by a brief loss of visibility or a temporary screen distortion.

According to the search results, this issue seems to be specific to AMD graphics cards, with players who have tested the game on AMD GPUs reporting the problem. The issue does not appear to be related to the game itself, but rather a problem with the AMD graphics drivers or the Relive software.

One possible solution to this issue is to disable Relive or reset the AMD drivers to their default settings. Some players have also reported that disabling FSR3 (FidelityFX Super Resolution) and frame generation may also help resolve the problem.

It’s worth noting that this issue is not unique to the “Ghost of Tsushima” game, as similar visual glitches have been reported in other games that use AMD graphics cards.

but im not using AMD bro

I was having exactly the same problem, I was using DLSS upscale with AMD FSR 3 frame generation until I switched to DLSS frame generation and now everything is perfect, idk if it’s gonna work for you but in my case it seems like that was the problem.

i dont use any frame generation, only using DLSS upscale on quality mode. but even if use native res, the flashbang is still happening

problem is, people with AMD have found their temporary fix until an update is coming. Us Nvidia user doesnt have any temporary fix

I haven't encountered the issue, but have you checked the temps on the GPU?
Seeing as you're playing on a laptop, its prone to overheating and could cause artifacts or mess with the shaders.

Although from what some users been reporting it looks like its a glitch when using certain combinations of hardware, or hardware/software combination or settings, don't know if the majority of the users with the same issue are playing on laptops.
