Unplayable Flicker

Just bought the game and trying to play. The screen flickers like mad and you can't see anything. Tried turning all graphics setting to OFF/Lowest, didn't help. Tried updating drivers, no dice. Doesn't happen in any other game and I have played Planet Coaster a lot as well. Is there anything I can do or do I just have to refund?

Others have already reported the issue in Planet Zoo and other titles. See https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/visual-flicker-after-update.595828/

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770
Intel Core i7-4930 3.4GHz 3.3 GHz
12GB RAM

FYI I usually run all games on highest or high quality at 2560. Planet Coaster might have been run on medium since I liked very large maps with a high population of people running around.

The game menu is perfectly fine, only happens once you start the campaign mode in a zoo. It also made zero difference what settings were changed, the constant flickering was stable regardless of what was applied. Also, what I can see between flickers is not slow at all, is beautiful, and great quality. It's just a constantly moving flicker all over the screen like a prism - very likely to trigger the epilepsy.

I will refund if I can't get help to this problem unfortunately. Does anyone have any help or suggestions? Devs, do you know when this issue will be fixed??
 
Your graphics card is very old, it probably can't handle the game, since PZ requires a graphics card with more RAM.
Do you have someone with a newer card to try out?
 
You could always try a cloud gaming service such as Geforce Now. With the current shortage of GPUs and their somewhat extreme market price, I'm finding myself using it for some games. It supports planet zoo (and workshop i believe too!), so might be worth a go if you can afford the £8 a month for full 1080p.
