Zane digi clone is flickering in the menu.

Hurts my eyes and is pretty annoying.

Indeed, he flickers in-game too. Do you intend to actually play the game or stare at Clone?

It only happens in the skill tree menus. I happen to read and pick the skills instead of slamming buttons. What makes it hard to read and think... maybe a flashing menu.

Hello!

I believe I have a fix (working on my end).

I ran into your problem after I re-specced into the digi-clone tree. In the skill tree menu, Zane's digi clone (when equipped into an action slot) would shoot out swirling geometric shapes, and with light reflected from the shapes, it was a blinding light show not unlike staring into pulsing flash light. I had a headache before finishing reassigning all the skills.

I suspected it was some performance tuning I did, because I tried digi-clone when I first played the game but didn't have this problem. To test the theory, I backed up and removed the edited GameUserSettings.ini file under Documents\My Games\Borderlands 3\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor,

Then I launched the game to force the file to be recreated (as if the game was first installed), and I launched the game to switch to the skill tree. The flickering was gone!

I then compared the new .ini file with the old file, and it turned out any value less than 2 for sg.ViewDistanceQuality would trigger the flickering. Having the value at 2 or 3 would fix it.

Please give it a try.

That makes sense. I keep a bunch of ini settings in potato mode since my pc is older. I get another 15 frames with that particular setting on 1. Thanks for the help identifying the specific issue. Means a lot.
