metro_cat Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 ello. My document gets a bit darker every time I move the cursor and gets back to normal when I stop. So while working it constantly flickers. I've made a video, I hope you can see the problem: designer_bug.mp4 I had to record the video with my phone, because screen recording doesn't show flickering. I've found some topics about screen flickering, but they all concern nvidia g-sync, while I have a laptop with an integrated Intel video card. I've installed the latest drivers, but it didn't work out.

SPaceBar Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hi @metro_cat Welcome to the Affinity forums! Could you try turning your Hardware Acceleration of to see if that helps? As mentioned above by @Pšenda In Designer select Edit > Preferences > Performance and untick the box for Hardware Acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metro_cat Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hello, guys. Thanks for your advice. 1. HW acceleration off doesn't change anything. 2. However I changed the Renderer from Intel to WARP and it fixed the issue. Although rendering is slower now, I think it's a good workaround.

Driver uninstalling (through the Device Manager) and installing from scratch did solve the problem, thank you! I spent more time recording the video than solving the problem 😄 Now I can select the Intel card as Renderer with HW acceleration on and nothing flickers. Thank you for your help again.
