Black Silhouette Flashing on Screen!

[blunt force trauma]

After updating the game today, I encountered this bug. This black silhouette keeps strobing while im playing the game. It doesn't occur when im using first person though, only occurs in RTS mode. video showing the bug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0LPI5cbvgM&feature=youtu.be

currently reinstalling to see if it fixes it-nope nope dont reinstall

[b0lt0]

Having the same problem with moded and normal maps. Did reinstaling fixed it?

[TVNisOK]

im getting this ploblem to

[FRANK THE TANK]

have you try to change it the fullscreen to something else then put it back to fullscreen it fixed mine

[EXVIOLOI]

Hey so for me going into first person and switching back out fixed it

Hi, these kind of bugs most likely are never fixed with reinstalling - save your time when your internet isn't that fast, it should rather be the last resort

I'll forward this issue to the programmers, thank you for reporting!

Well I tried changing from fullscreen to windowed and then to fullscreen again and it didn´t fix it. Next i tried going into 1st person view and while zooming in, the flashing stopped but after returning to RTS vision it just got worse, flashing got even faster than it was. The flashing only stops if I open the menu or while zooming in 1st person. Did change some graphics options too w like vertycal sync and SSAO but nothing seems to fix it, get´s really annoying to play with screen flashing like that :P any ideas on how to solve it temporarily?

Those who have this issue, can you try ctrl + shift + alt + d to check if it stops when the ui is not displayed anymore?

also it would be a great help to tell me your system specs to narrow this down, thank you in advance

Just did the ctrl + shift + alt + d and flashing stops, getting the UI back again and the flashing returns. Specs: Win 10 Pro 64 bit, I3-8350K, 8,00 GB Ram Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050TI

So I just did the switching to 1st person again, waited a bit then returned to RTS view and it worked this time. It´s a temporary solution for now.

It seems like switching to FPS mode on soldiers then zooming in with the weapons sometimes stop it for me.

Does it happen always at start of a game or only sometimes?
This is just again a bug we cannot reproduce on our side yet - this is nasty

would be great if you could provide me a game.log from such a game it might be helpful

It happens always at start of a match. After it, if i zoom with a soldier it stops and I can return to RTS view, if I zoom with a vehicle, the flashing recommences so I have to zoom in with a soldier again, it only seems to stop after zooming in with soldiers.

happens every game, and after switching to fps mode fixes it but it comes back again

[Chuck Dick III]

having this problem as well

[Rotation]

Got same problems here after last patch.
Always occurs at the begining of a match.
Disabling UI can stop the flashing, but re-enabling UI will occur the flashing.
Entering Direct Control Mode with an infantry will make the flashing even worse,
but aiming (ironsight) your weapon can stop the flashing for the rest of entire match,
even after quiting Direct Control Mode and entering Direct Control Mode without aiming,
disabling UI and re-enabling UI.
Entering Direct Control Mode with a vehicle will make the flashing even worse,
the weapon crosshair UI (without aiming) will keep flashing no matter you've stopped the screen flashing by aiming infantry weapon or not.
Aiming your weapon can stop the flashing as well as the weapon crosshair,
but zooming out your weapon or quiting Direct Control Mode when aiming will occur the flashing even you've stopped the screen flashing by aiming infantry weapon, you have to zoom in infantry weapons again to stop the flashing.
