Screen blinking/flickering black when panning or doing anything in the canvas

[NiftyNick]

Hello,

I just recently got out of the trial version after using it for awhile. I purchased the Affinity Designer license, but now that I have Affinity Designer 2, the screen flickers/blinks whenever I move anywhere on the canvas. Does anyone know why this would be happening? I am running a 160hz monitor with a GTX 3060, I've attempted to enable/disable G-Sync and that didn't fix it. I have also attempted to reinstall both the gaming and studio drivers for Nvidia, neither fixed the problem.

Hi @NiftyNick, welcome to the forums

Sorry for the delayed response. I think this is something Serif is already looking into.

When we've had reports of this happening, turning off G-sync has resolved it for those users. It may be worth trying again perhaps also changing your refresh rate.

The issue "Stuttering/flickering with G-Sync" (REF: AFD-4877) has been fixed by the developers in internal build "2.1.0.1799".

This fix is in the current customer release.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us

Thank you, this fixed it for me.
