Zendadaist Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 As the title. When I'm in a menu such as Arsenal or Arcanes, randomly some of the text and icons (but NOT the images of the mods, the warframe, background items such as orbiter decorations etc) will briefly flicker. The affected bits are all Text and Icons, and that includes the Drain display on mods, the Frame ability icons and the School symbols. It also includes the Arcane images themselves, curiously. This is new as of the main update today, and extremely unwelcome! I have not changed anything about my setup since I played last night when all was fine. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidRiceball Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 +1 on this. Updated drivers, restarted, cleaned up loose files, no effect. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renzo Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I can confirm this when using DX12 and latest NVIDIA drivers. DX11 does not seem to have the same problem. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChirithyChi Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) I have been experiencing this same issue since the Kullervo update dropped. Using a RTX 3080 with latest drivers + DX12 and the enhanced graphics engine. I recorded a video to show some examples of the screen flickering I'm experiencing, some noticeable examples of the issue being large black flashes around the center of the screen (happens around 0:26 and 0:37) and flashing upon text. Edited June 24, 2023 by ChirithyChi added video link that demonstrates the bug 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowChannels Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Same problem here with RTX 2080 and latest drivers. I've tried clearing the cache, but that doesn't seem to help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That video shows EXACTLY how it happens to me too. Also toggling between enhanced and classic renderer does not help, even though the flickering seems to happen less often with classic renderer. Again, there is no problem using DX11 with classic or enhanced renderer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChirithyChi Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 As of Hotfix 33.5.4, this issue has became more severe in the frequency of the screen flickering/flashing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renzo Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Can confirm, the latest patch did nothing to fix this issue. Can DE confirm they have aknowledged the issue? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renzo Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 The latest NVIDIA driver from today (536.40) did nothing to address this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soleile Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) I posted in another topic about this exact thing but will add my support in here too. Using DX12 with enhanced renderer and the flashes started happening with the Kullervo update. It has not been fixed with any of the hotfixes. Took a video showing it is only Warframe that flickers, not anything else: Image showing that the UI remains visible when the black flashes occur: I've tried clearing cache, messing with in game settings, verifying and optimizing in the launcher, updating drivers and uninstalling and reinstalling Warframe. Nothing gets rid of the flickering when using DX12. Edited June 30, 2023 by Soleile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soleile Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Still happening as of hotfix 33.5.5. Game flickered black pretty much right after logging in and still had random UI elements flickering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renzo Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Yep same here still, the flickering is the most noticeable in duviri for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soleile Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Still happening as of 35.5.6 for me, though it feels like the UI flickering part may not be happening quite as much. The black flickering is still happening at pretty much the same rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armedpoop Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Can confirm this has been happening to me as well but only specifically on DX12, DX11 doesn't have any flicker issues. I am seeing this on my 2080 super and with 2 separate CPUs. (R5 3600x and R7 3700x). Several driver updates later and it is still happening.

Natsupoi Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) HUD is still flickering for me even with DX11 Edited July 24, 2023 by Kwanshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soleile Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I updated my nvidia drivers to to studio driver 536.67 and the black flashes and UI flickers seem to at least be happening less often now. They are still happening, but I can go like 15-20 min between occurrences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soleile Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 After the Echoes of Duviri update, the black flashes and UI flickering has returned to happening as much, if not more than, how often it was first happening with Kullervo's update. Especially when there are a lot of things on screen or I am in a menu like the modding screen or inbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armedpoop Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Yup, it definitely seems worse post update. I am now getting fullscreen flashing in the mission complete screen. https://i.gyazo.com/aaeeafff85ee0f23861f43a04d76180b.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renzo Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I will try with nvidia driver 528.49 but not today, as the game decided to softlock again when accessing a hack console so I had to alt+f4 and won't bother launching the game today again, but I'll check it tomorrow morning.

Renzo Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 It is not the driver either. Getting these flashes also on 528.49 when using DX12. Time to find out what the problem is, it started with the hotfix that introduced DX12 caching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishkabibbles Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 This has been a consistent issue since coming back to the game 5~ months ago. If DX12 and the enhanced engine are turned on then there is texture flickering everywhere. This does not happen in any other games whatsoever. Is there a reason this issue isint even getting a mention from staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soleile Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Still happening as of 33.6.5. Out of ideas as to what is causing it. Happens with any combo of settings, both fully maxed out and absolute minimum. Verifying files or updating drivers does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the most noticeable for me in steelpath runs where enemies shoot at me a lot, I can see the whole screen actually flicker. The text and menu flickering is still also present and I have updated the NVIDIA drivers to the latest 537.13 WHQL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soleile Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Still no idea what is causing it but managed to get a shot that might show a better idea of what happens during the black "flashes." Normal: Flash: Can still see Xaku and the UI but it is like all the lights have been turned off. It has been flickering more often for me since the update for tennocon/dog days. This particular instance had a few moments where it flickered around 4-5 times in quick succession all while just sitting at the menu but I wasn't able to catch that many when I tried to record it. I am also still getting the white flashbangs but they are very rare, and have not managed to get a screenshot like this to see if it behaves the same as the other flashes. I can somewhat ignore the mild UI flickering but it is getting a bit annoying with the game randomly deciding to blink/flashbang me all the time.
