Black Flickering Screen from 4.5 Hotfix installation
Hi
I've been having problems from I installed last update 4.5 Hotfix.
My screen does a black flickering each one minute or something. I've been reading about it on the forum and I saw other users are having the same problem. I tried to do all they comment but anything have resolved the problem. Can you help me? Thank you so much in advance.
Greetings
Alejandro.

Hi Kayla,
Thank you for your support. I've been doing some tests and apparently is fixed up. I'll continue testing along the day.

Hi Alejandro
Did you just do this trick with disabeling the fullscreen Optimization or did you other tricks too?

Hi Patrick,
Yes, I did. I only did this trick and it's working correctly. In my case It seems the problem is resolved.
I hope yours too!
Saludos!

Hi all
Disabling the full screen optimization works also here (I have ten screens in my cockpit). Reducing FPS from unlimited to 60 works also, but then the achievable FPS are lower in comparison to unlimited. Thank you very much, Kayla, for your very helpful advice.
Best regards

Hi Kayla
So is the advice regarding "Full Screen Optimisations" recommended for all users? Does LM know why this advice works? Some comment from LM on this would be welcome.

Note that if you 'fly' the FSLabs A319/A320 that setting will be reverted to un-checked. I now use a batch file to reapply the registry key upon P3D launch, at least until FSLabs fixes the issue.

It appears that this happens intermittently - I completed a flight with the FSL A320, shut down P3D, and the checkmark was still in the box. Perhaps there is another cause. 😒

I also have this issue. I'm still on 4.4. Reports of this from other users are also on Avsim and Facebook.
