Screen flickering while playing

[Timmiej93]

So, I haven't played ETS2 for quite a while, I guess a few months. Today I tried it again, but the experience is horribly ruined by my screen constantly flickering black. It's not a regular or rhythmic thing, it's completely random.
I have never had this issue before, and I can barely find anything about it on the internet.
I tried re-installing the game, tuning down settings, pretty much everything.

Does anyone have a clue what can be causing this? It's really bugging me, and ruining my game experience.

I have the same problem, can't play it in a decent way

It could be a graphics driver or an issue with the game's ability to sync with your monitor. Make sure V-sync is enabled.

What kind of video card are you using? And are the drivers for the card up to date?

I never had any issues with V-sync Brad, but I indeed tried turning it on, didn't work unfortunately. I also haven't had any trouble running other games, and the Nvidia GeForce Experience even has the optimal settings for ETS2 put in. I use a GeForce 740 M (♥♥♥♥♥♥ laptop card).

(PS. I'd love to own a rig like yours. #yealous)

Like I said above, I don't have any issues with other games, and never had issues with this before, so I doubt that's the issue. Also, since it's a laptop, there's not much I can do about ckeching cables etc.

The reason your link doesn't work is because you put "help.http", the help part is included in the link.
