Steam Client causes screen to flicker (solved)

[LinkinForcer]

Hello,

So I launched Steam today and noticed my screen flickers on and off while on the store page. If I scroll through the store page it gets worse. It's the only tab where this happens. I can go to the Library tab or any other tab and everything is fine. Once I go back to the Store tab my screen starts to flicker on and off again. Steam is the only app where this happens. Steam client is up to date, I even uninstalled and reinstalled Steam to try and fix the issue but it continues to happen.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I uninstalled my graphics drivers and reinstalled them and it fixed the issue.

I was able to resolve this or a very similar issue not by updating my drivers (updated several versions over the month I experienced this), but by going into Steam Settings > Interface > Disable GPU Acceleration in Web Views.

@Strife.Modus Thank you for this post, I was having the same issue and it seemed to get worse when I upgraded my gpu.

I disabled the GPU acceleration and Bam! problem not only solved but steam runs much smoother.

It fixed my issue, I disabled the GPU acceleration and issue was gone. Thanks! I have a RTX 3080
