Flashing green screen. Way to fix this?

[KnightimeX]

Monitor is VG245H
Very very few games, (this is the second game ever, dangerous golf being the other) to cause this problem.
What's causing it?

Any other game doesn't have this problem at all.
WOuld love a solution before considering a purchase.

This has nothing to do with the game. This is not an NVIDIA graphics cards driver issue either. It's an issue with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, and it only happens with certain monitors or TVs with some games when they request fullscreen. You can either run the game in borderless windowed mode, or if you want fullscreen, you can completely solve this issue for every game by following this NVIDIA provided solution.

I am trying out the demo, and it doesn't seem to have an option for borderless windowed mode (unless I'm missing something). So, try the NVIDIA provided solution there (link above).

Seems like the windows update I downloaded last night has solved this issue.
Tried many different resolutions and modes no green flicker.

YAY!

Yes, you are right. The above Nvidia article tells you to do this exact thing, but the fix for the issue is not the enabling/disabling of 32-bit desktop color depth, but rather the forcing of the output color depth to 8 bpc via NVC Panel. Recent Windows FCU update incorrectly chooses the default output color depth to 10 or 12 bpc on some monitors that do not support these (causing green flickering in Fullscreen for some games). The solution to the problem is the Nvidia article quoted above, which suggests choosing nvidia color settings that has the output color depth on 8 bpc in Nvidia control panel.

What is your windows build version? As far as I know, recent windows updates did not bring any changes to this issue at all. The fix is coming in build 17046 which is in preview at the moment (not rolled out).

Hey, thanks. Nice to know what's causing the flickers. :) Indeed my monitor doesn't support 10 nor 12 bpc so the fix was literally to check the "Use NVIDIA colour settings" box, 8bpc is obviously choosed by default.
