Occasional Flicker Flash Graphics issue

[lastsonof7]

So I already have seen other threads quickly mentioning this small issue, But I was hoping any future updates or discussion on it could be dropped here so we could trade notes on what the problem may be or how to fix it. I figure people will search either flash or flicker and meet up here for help. This happens in VR for me at least but I haven't tried 2d mode so not sure if that happens there. I'm on a Valve index RTX 3090 setup.

The issue is when flying from VR cockpit, would get an occasional orange flash to the entire environment that takes over all sight for one to two seconds and then things return to normal. it's very jarring and scary especially at low altitudes. Anyway here's hoping to an update. This is an extremely awesome game. My absolute favorite at the moment as i'm a die hard ace combat fan and this nails it beyond all expectations cheers :)

I got frame drop from 80fps (rift S max) to around 40fps when looking at ground target on my RTX2080super :(

I get flashes too. The color depends on the map. This coincides with a frame time spike, as though the world just doesn't finish drawing and the VR driver projects an incomplete frame. I don't see the flashing on the first launch after a reboot. I tested every sensible combination of video settings and did not find a workaround.

Not playing VR. But I get flickers and flashes from time to time as well. Mostly start of missions before i see enemies. Also on mission 7 i think where it's storming, in 3rd person it still looks like rain splashing on your cockpit canopy.

Same with the flickering, I think it may be tied to the units spawning in, assuming its the same issue, I seem to be able to recreate it every time on the first mission when you approach the island. I haven't really tested it on other levels though I do remember seeing similar flickering elsewhere during my playthrough, I haven't really played since I noticed it.

For me, it happens in Free Flight, so no units spawning in. Maybe buildings or trees though.

After some testing I think it's not just units, I have a suspicion it may be happening when the game loads in new objects, not just enemies. It may be possible to test this theory by playing around with the view distance since in theory long view distance would reduce the number of times the game loads in objects and thus the flicker.

I still get the flicker but after both a hardware upgrade and bumping the view distance down one notch, the frame time spike is tolerable.
