Seen a few folks complaing about this, GPU driver updates fixed it. If already on the latest drivers, then I've no idea lol.

[Cpt. Yan]

my all drivers are last updated. i change to hq txaa from hq fxaa i will check then inform here

I honestly think they fkd something up with 1.77. I get bad texture pop-in when flying etc. Hills looking flat when flying near them, then they suddenly they pop in all 3d etc.

yeah its absolutely to do with the update. I updated my drivers, no fix, i changed from Display port to hdmi, only slightly less flickering. My suggestion is just report bug and pray to whichever diety you worship that they release a hotfix

[Titanpilot321]

wait where do io even write my bug report

[Cpt. Yan]

I am playing other games like call of duty , train sim , flight sim etc.
shortly I experienced the flickering issue after 1.77 update only in WT in some maps not all maps
where ground destroyed target density is high so the black smoke flikering
I have the latest nvidia driver too

[Titanpilot321]

Me too

Flickering smoke is a driver issue seen it too many times over the years not to be. If your driver update didnt fix it you may have hardware issues.

nope my drivers are updated. Many other people with updated drivers are having the same issue and only on warthunder since the update
its definitely gaijins fault

there are definetly some gfx issues with 1.77, i have this, looks like a "tracer round" flying right past me,this happens several times each battle, i think its other peoples tracers i am seeing. i dunno, but i do know 1.77 have gfx issues.

I'm calling bs on that. Nvidia drivers have been out for quite some time, the issue started happening after the new GAME update though. So, if anything, the devs messed something up causing conflicts with old AND current graphics drivers. But yeah, nothing like scaring people that something is wrong with their hardware, especially considering current GPU-pricing.

On the side, I found that setting "particle density" to lowest helps with this issue (or makes it less visible?) basically your smoke will be really thin, but at least no flickering, that would give you eye cancer.

EDIT: Not saying there cant be another cause for this issue or that it didnt happen before, just that it is very unlikely to be hardware related, since this only happens with the smoke (no artifacting, crashes etc)

My smoke flickers too.

Today I got nvidia update 391.24 . I hope this will be a solution.
