Game is regularly flickering and rendering shadows for a fraction of a second

[superurus]

Hello. With the new test branch a very strange graphical error is occuring. For a fraction of a second the engine will regularly render shadow textures over all buildings and roads with high frequency.
This never happened before. It doesn´t matter whether the game is in pause mode or is running at normal speed. It seems to be serious issue. I have Geforce RTX 3060 and play on high graphic settings on windows 10. Greetings

Yes, I got the same problem. Confirm.

I get it in winter.

this used to be an AMD issue that would lead to crashes making the game unplayable. ill have to see if my 3070 does it now

Thus far the game isn´t crashing. But this problem is occuring during all seasons. I have the latest NVidea drivers . There seems to be a serious issue

Well apparently this problem did not catch an eye of developers. That is sad, because that flickering is really tiring for eyes. Not to say damages greatly experience of gaming.

Maby changing some graphics options would help? Any suggestions?

[superurus]

Graphic options don´t change anything in my case

I found a temporary solution until it will be fixed. Turning off shadows did help. Looks not nice, but at least does not flicker.

Graphical bug (Flashing)

Dear Comrades,
After the new update (0.8.9) I have experienced a graphical glitch. Which indulged me to conduct an investigation... And the secret poli... I mean a concerned and educated group of citizens concluded the following:

1) I am on Win 11, Gforce 3070 (Drives updated)
2) I started a new Republic, everything was going perfect, but when I built a large dump this strange flashing started. All buildings and roads are flashing white for a brief time. That got me curious, so I had to test my system.
3) I ran a bigger Republic, without trash enabled. No flashes, everything is fine.
4) A fellow First Secretary (on different PC) ran similar test, but he got no flashes, no problems whatsoever.
5) I have seen a YouTuber with the same flashes I've got.

After the results of the investigation, I am a bit lost and I don't know what to do to. So I report it to the Supreme First Secretary (3DIVISION) as an annnoying bug and I sincerely hope to be fixed.

Yours,
Yummy,
First Secretary of People's Republic.
