Screen flickering

[xShapelessx]

Ive tried literally everything. Changed all settings, nvidia settings etc. IDK what happened. Suddenly skybox is flickering white every couple seconds. Can anyone help? Ive tried all online fixes ive found

DLSS on/off?

....since you mention skybox, I'm assuming you aren't talking about general monitor flicker it's something in-game.

I've seen posts (not of this game) where sudden stuff like that could be hardware tech issues, not some game/windows setting thing. Examples: old thermal pastes, condensation build up, failing ram stick, needing to wipe/DDU gpu drivers for a super-clean reinstall of those. I'm not a big techie. Not saying it "has to be that", I can't tell from my desk chair (haha), just that it could be something to look into.

Like this person in this thread, the 3rd posted video where his floor textures are black-glitching constantly.

That's worth noting, but I only see this issue in ff 15 and I game constantly. Its a white flash type flicker as well and Ive seen others talk about this specifically in ff15. Dont think its my hardware. Ive tried every option for settings on/off

Well, hardware symptoms can end up showing initially in just one game. That's often how you end up noticing them. Not all games may trigger the failure/problem points maybe I guess. Ages ago an old gpu of mine was apparently near failure and the only symptom I had was in WoW, strange stretched pixels. :D

But yeah, I do think such ending up being the actual problem is fairly "rare."

You've tried all these settings - have you tried simply uninstalling/reinstalling the game? Reinstalling gpu drivers? Verified integrity of files via Steam? Edit: or any other software/Windows software that might have updated recently? Especially if it's a new symptom in FFXV where before it was fine. I mean, sometimes software installs go a bit wonky too after a lot of "update" cycles (vs clean reinstalls) and the like. Edit: not as often as in the past, in my experience, but still happens.

Other than that, no clue. G'luck.

It's happening to me the same way, I don't know if it's gpu driver related because I started to see this flickering after updating driver, I was using a December driver and no problems, unfortunately I can't roll back because I don't know what version I was playing with. Yesterday I installed the latest update but still the same, it's kinda annoying

[electricphoenix]

out of curiosity - radeon or nvidia?

[Saui]

i think is something wrong with latest nvidea drivers , i have this too after updating it so ... :/

[electricphoenix]

oh no don't tell me that i was thinking about a new run soon! :(

hopefully nvidia fixes it soon

Okay...this makes sense. I was also suspecting nvidia driver update. I did one right before this happened. Im currently using 551.52. (I dont recall if I played ff last with this update or the previous). I uninstalled to make room for helldivers until I could find a fix

At the moment I deactivated the NVIDIA TurfEffects options and flickering stopped, give it a try

Ok I just reinstalled. I will try this if the issues persist

[xShapelessx]

and now the game does not workl with my ps5 controller at all. Cool.

[xShapelessx]

After uninstalling, I updated to the latest driver (we got another) and reinstalled the game.

I loaded it like 5 times in a row because I couldnt get my ps5 controller to work properly and didnt notice any flickering any of those times - but I only spent a few minutes in game.

I think this was an unidentified bug with the last nvidia driver, but Ill keep posted

I recently have white flashes sometimes crossing my screen horizontally, I'm on a pretty good configuration: i7 13700 k, rtx 4080 super and 32 GB of DDR5 ram. Also the game still jerks, thank you for reading.

Try my fix above my friend. i got rid of the screen flicker. It was nvidia driver I believe

Good evening my friend, I have uninstalled it for the moment but I am thinking of reinstalling it and trying your method, thank you very much ;)
