Black Flickering?

Support Technical Support
41

I have no issues in DX12 or with the latest driver. That means with a Nvidia RTX 2080 I have no issues. I am also overclocked, both GPU and CPU. I would try stock speeds if you have issues. VRAM being my first target to reduce frequency. Also I am using an AMD cpu, are the systems with issues just Intel systems?

…aaand it’s back.
With the latest GeForce driver update, the texture flickering is back in WoW.

Anyone else having this problem?
If so, let’s address it asap :slight_smile:

EDIT:
To add, it’s the same as before.
It primarily shows when I press C (character panel) and some assets will flicker. In this case, Kai’s hat and daggers go fully black.
Most of my characters on select screen will have black assets on their armor pieces, my Zandalari has hair flicker problem too.

It’s not present IN-GAME on character, but it’s only a matter of time again. I had my daggers flicker on my Velf for a while.
Note, it is ONLY present after updating to latest GeForce drivers.

I have random enviroment items that are flickering. A lot of stuff in Nazjatar, like the starfish.

44

What are your machines specs. I have no issues at all with the latest driver.

45

Wanted to chime in here too. I just upgraded to a Nvidia 1660 Super, and a new AMD Ryzen 7 3700x processor and I also have black flickering, as well as for some reason, textures are missing? I have no clue. I’ll try the fixes that’re posted by the blue posts in this topic though. But this wasn’t before I upgraded, all drivers are up to date.

46

Just wanted to let you know. There is a new Nvidia driver 451.48 and game still flicker in DX12. Are there any news about it please?

47

Mehh, was hoping a new driver would be the fix… i need to update drivers for other games… but this bug is stopping me!

48

Interesting that I don’t have issue and people clearly do. I have just downloaded and installed a new nvidia driver. Will give it a go.

Edit: No issue so far with latest Nvidia driver.

49

Installed the latest Driver, flickering is still present for me.

50

Now is this then a driver problem or a WoW problem?

51

I am really starting to believe that it’s WoW textures issue. No other games are having this type of flickering.
I’m playing FFXIV, BDO, GW2 - none of these with flickering issues.
I load up WoW and flickering is immediately there on character selection screen and in character tab/panel. Sky sometimes flickers too, some textures go missing in caves…etc.

To add, it has been happening with 2 different graphics card for me, with different drivers each.
I played with 1050 Ti, flickering was present.
I changed to RTX 2060, flickering is present still, regardless of driver.
ONLY IN WOW!

52

Asked about it on Nvidia forums and they said it’s probably bad coding in WoW it self. I have no problem with other games as well including WoW classic. There’s something broken with the DX12 or a setting connected with that mode. When I swich back to DX11 i have no problem with the flickering but thats not a solution.

Yeah, as i say this is stopping me updating my drivers… and its kinda annoying >.>

54

I rarely get flickering, mostly after hours of playing if at all.
But when it happens, i switch to DX11 and right back to DX12 and it’s gone.

55

Can anyone confirm if the flickering still occurs with the new driver?

56

Just installed the latest drivers, Don’t have any flicker and everything else is fine. Gtx 1060 6GB and a later generation i7.

57

Please be sure to update after a period of play, if no problems I will also update.

58

Played for nearly 3 hours with driver version 451.48 , Even 3 accounts at once, Not flickering at all.

I play max settings in windowed mode(not borderless), No full screen. DX12 on too just to clarify.

59

I am still getting flickering with new driver.

It’s still flickering. Did a check today and had flickering tree at dwarf login screen and hair in a characters info tab.
