New nvidia patch out today, did it help for anyone?
Not for me atleastā¦
Iām using amd gpu, but Iām also having flickering since last week. Especially on this paladin character, where I also have the not visible guild and guild chat bug. E.g. on my mage, where everything is fine (not having the guild bug), the game runs smooth.
Also when I play on my paladin, along with the flickering, the fans of my gpu suddenly turn on, as something uses it heavily and causes warming up. (Radeon RX 5600 XT - MSI gaming X, AMD Ryzen 5 3600).
This game shouldnāt be a problem for my setup at 1080p, yet since last week, my paladin is bugged and itās like Iām running some of the latest AAA games at max settings while Iām playing it.
Nvidia GeForce 466.11 WHQL
Known Issues:
[World of Warcraft: Shadowlands]: Random flicker may occur in certain locations in the game [3206341]
Nvidia couldnĀ“t care less about Blizzard at this point.
And now that AMD GPUĀ“s are having the same issue, we all know whoĀ“s fault is it.

I almost never post here, because I donāt want to be a bother for the devs/support, but this specific issue is becoming critical.
Nvidia does itās best to actually patch security leaks, and here I am, forced to run an insecure system, just because I canāt play a game I pay a monthly subscription for if I update my drivers.
Can you at least give us an indication which party involved (Blizzard, Nvidia or Microsoft) is responsible for fixing this issue so I can maybe try and direct my concerns to the correct party? This has been ongoing for months now, and I just do not believe it is actually being looked into thoroughly enough to be quite honest.

Still no fix in sight it seems. Blizz, anything you can do here? The issue prevails for nearly half a year now. How is that ok for you?

I havent updated my drivers for a while, (Although i did have some of the patches), I started recieving this with 466.27. RTX 2070 super here. If I change a setting like triple buffering, the flicker goes away from objects that had thjem, and might reappaer randomly on other objects. I was scared my video card is having issues.

tnx it reduced my flickering alot but it didnt remove it completely
Is there any hope for us?
Driver after driver update and still no fix to this.
Itās really bad for the eyes, thereās no permanent fix that will sort this problem out.
Why should anyone be forced to fiddle with options and even lower graphics just to ensure that a broken problem is āpatched upā but not officially fixed?
Do we have ANY official word about this?

Iāve only just found this forum somehow. Iām so glad I did. I thought it was just me and my PC playing up. I dont get any artifacts on Direct 11 and WoW runs smooth. But as soon as I turn it over to 12, bits of the environment start flickering. This has been a persistent problem for months and months now. Is there a video guide on how to reset your NVIDIA drivers back to where this problem doesnāt exist? Thanks

Turned out to be g-sync in the nividia-panel for me. It got switched on on its own.
Hello Blizzard? Any news?
As in: we are still working on it dear customers, no worries. Or is it a ping pong game of blame and in the end no one wants to fix it?
I mean seriously, months now. No blue response update, nothing.
I pity the helpdesk workers over at Blizzard! I hope you guys have a lovely time, because if it takes months to even get a little update from the devs, I donāt imagine itās a nice workplaceā¦

Because its NOT a Blizzard Problem. Why would they respond? nVidia has even ADMITTED that the fault is with their drivers.
Issue could be with WoW though.
Itās not happening with any other game; it started happening in WoW since BfA and from what I heard itās then that something got done with WoW textures after a specific patch.
But honestly, whether itās NVidia or WoW issue, I really want SOME information on it.
This has been going on for months, game looks weird, flickering is so bad for eyes and trying any of these ātemporary fixesā either kills performance or aesthetics of the game.
