DK2 really bad flicker since 2.2 :-( gutted

Hi All,

It has been a while since I have played ED Horizons (been working waaay to hard) but previopusly I have played for hours and hours at a time on my DK2 right since the initial beta. Just updated to the latest 2.2 but the game is now completely unplayable due to really bad flicker... Ive got a couple of year old PC with dual R9 290s but with a fairly pants CPU... however ED has always been fine as is pretty much any thing else I have ever installed... until now..

Just grabbed a video which shows a bit of the flicker but you can only see about 10% of the flicker on the video compared to what Im seeing in the DK2. I whacked all the GFX settings down to VR low to no avail.

Really gutted... could it simply be that the requirements CPU wise have gone up massively recently?

See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvX-jO23R_Q

Bit of flickering at 00:25 but then loads at 1:25 onwards. Actually in VR its really really bad all the time.

Cheers - Mark

Yikes. Understand that would be intensely annoying.

However, it doesn't appear to be ED, and probably not the DK2 either.

I had a recent problem with even worse flickering of the image, but it ended up being a motherboard or CPU problem. It was okay in the windows desktop, but under load it was reduced to this. Your flickers do look somewhat similar to what I was 'experiencing', :x if fewer in number.

Tracking on the Rift looked fine, ED behaves as it should, just... glitching.

I hope you're not seeing the same hardware issue!

Have you recently upgraded the graphics drivers for ther 290's? Try disabling one at a time (I don't think ED uses crossfire in VR?, perhaps if one card is a bit flaky it will show up that way)

Test by removing any overclocking on your PC, and eliminating the hardware bit by bit. I ended up reinstalling Windows 10 and it still didn't go away.
