Black Flickering?

Good afternoon all…

I have recently updated my GPU drivers to the latest version
And I now notice black flickering on the char select screen and in game occasionally.

Is this a driver issue known?
I reverted back for now, but i do like to keep things up to date.

I will link my DXDiag if anyone can have a look for any anomalies.

Does that DXDIAG log show the driver version you updated to, or was the log created after you had already reverted to older drivers?

If it is the latter, meaning you had a more recent driver than v442.74 installed at the time issues occurred: there have been numerous reports of trouble with the 445.xx series of drivers across multiple games. It’d not be unlikely that they also caused the flickering you described.

Sorry the dxdiag now show’s the driver that is fine, no flickering at all.
its the new one I have the issue with.

Same here.
Today I bought new Graphics Card (RTX 2060) and had a fresh driver install, updated to latest one and it’s CRAZY with character assets flickering on select screen and in certain places in game (like Suramar rooftops, sometimes sky too).
It’s suuuuuuuper annoying and it started happening after two latest GeForce Drivers.

Note: I had GeForce 1050 Ti with latest drivers before that, same issue.

And yep, the issue is with the 445.xx driver. Before that it was fine.

Does this still occur on the newer drivers?

Im yet to update them again. Just want to know if this still happens.

Experiencing the same flickering. On the character screen and also in the game, mostly in characters tab, black/flickering hair etc. I have Geforce GTX 1070 Ti with latest drivers 445.87. You need to know this is happening only with DX12 settings, swiching back to DX11 fix the problem.

Guess we’ll have to wait for the next driver, hopefully this one will fix the issue. >.<

Yeah, seems to be the same… alot of my issues where in the character screen.

I see - so similar issues to mine? Guess it’s not a problem with my hardware itself then if we all have this issue?

People reporting flickering that looks just like this when using DX12 with Monster Hunter on 445.87, though the latest drivers is actually 445.98 which is a hotfix driver and does not show up on GFE, have you guys tried 445.98 yet :o?

This hasn’t fixed my problem.

I tried, 10 seconds into game… Driver failure with the hotfix version.

Alright, since the hotfix is not fixing the issue what about a downgrade to 442.50?

A downgrade in drivers seems to be the only real solution for people from what I’m seeing on the nvidia forums, and 442.50 seems to be peoples go-to.

Can we have an official statement about this issue? I’m forced to use DX11 becouse of that. Does Nvidia know’s or been informed what their latest drivers do to the game?

I can’t seem to find anything official…has anyone tried this driver again?

Bumping this, does anyone seem to have the same issue? Im guessing a new driver will be out soon.

New driver is up 446.14 and WoW is still flickering in DX12 mode. Mostly on the character select screen but also ocasionally in game. Hair, weapon etc. I have Geforce RTX 2070 SUPER.

Found this on the US forums. Hope this is going to be fixed becouse right now I’m forced to use DX11.

Can confirm.
Even with new driver out, flickering is still present.
Other games are not showing this issue, however.
