Fullscreen causes screen flicker (Windows 10)

[skycycle]

Just bought this on sale, really like the concept and wanna play more, but when I go fullscreen I get this weird flicker where I can kind of see displaced light versions of the hidden buttons underneath. If I switch back to windowed mode, the effect stays, and I have to restart the game. I'm running 1920x1080 on a Windows 10 PC, all drivers up to date. Any suggestions, perhaps launch options via Steam itself?

Same on 8.1 with both Intel and NVidia.

I have Windows 10 Pro and I have the same problem, I think that it can be for a resolution bug, (but not only on fullscreen; this bugs apperars to me in any size).
But sometimes, my game starts making some noises, especially when I'm doing the ending of the last update. I have been searched and i discoreved that those noises aren't normal.

Just now I'm writing an email to the creators; this is one of my favorite Steam games and I want to play it well...

I have been having the same issues. Please let me know what you find out! I can see the hidden face for the Papers Please nod when the screen flickers, as well as some hidden map I've never seen before in the upper right corner. At first I thought it was a puzzle within the puzzle. But after a while I figured it was a flaw. Sometimes it goes away when I minimize or go full screen, but it ends up starting up again after interacting with the game enough. Glad someone else saw this.

For the record it flickers on any screen size, I'm running Windows 8.1

Windows 8, 8.1 and all the current versions of 10 have almost the same features in terms of resolution; is not strange that these operating systems have the same problems.

The map that you are referring maybe can be the ultraviolet secret map; I personally don't know what is this map for, I think that is for one of the ends of the last update; but it also apperars hints for existing finals of the game.

I hope that this error will be fixed in future updates...

I too see this bug when switching to fullscreen... through the menu.

For me, switching to full screen with the keyboard shortcut ("Alt+Enter") doesn't have the visual bug... unless you open the window in the upper left. Hope this helps you!

Using ALT and Enter will also cause the screen flicker, confirmed.

Found a fix for me. Go to the "Please, Don't Touch Anything" local files, right click on the program, go to compatibility and tick enable full screen optimization
