ISSUE WITH FREESYNC (SCREEN FLICKERING)

[thebaum64]

The game seems to have a bug where if you have freesync enabled it has issues with brightness flickering on screen. I at first thought it was my pc but I had a friend try it and he gets the exact same issue. My specs:

i7-6700k 4.5ghz (Overclocked)
AMD Vega 64 x2 (Crossfire)
32gb of DDR4 3200 Ram

If anyone knows a fix that would be awesome, or just others with the issue so I know its not just me. Thanks.

I know this post is a bit old but I wanted to share my experience with the OP and any future googlers, since I have also had pretty bad brightness flickering in Halo with Freesync on. Hopefully it will be helpful to someone.

For me it was the monitor that was the issue. I have a Radeon RX 5700 and had flickering on a MSI MAG271CQR. I took my computer to the store where I bought the components and they concluded that the problem persisted with another RX 5700. An AOC Q27G2U had the same problem, but the Acer XV272U I have now does not.

Before changing monitor I found a two ways to mitigate the flickering a little. First, setting the monitors refresh rate to 120 Hz instead of 144 Hz. Second, activating Radeon Chill and setting the minimum fps limit quite low (I used 48-143 Hz). These two settings both helped for me but did not solve the problem completely. Other than that disabling Freesync is obviously an option.

disable crossfire. or don't buy a dual gpu on single card. freesync perfect here on single rx 570

Huh, I came searching about this because I noticed it instantly, as I picked up this exact monitor just this week. A shame there's no fix, but this brightness flickering does only seem to affect MCC, and even then sometimes it only seems to happen in certain instances.
