This has been an issue since forever for me, I even tried modifying Engine.ini to fix it and other fixes, but still happening.

It’s really bad.

I’ve also noticed some streamers have this issue, it seems to be mostly with NVIDIA graphic cards. For example, I found this video showing the issue as well: https://youtu.be/uO4msc4KwaM?si=cFZ6U8wKFrdFZE-X&t=1535

The annoying thing is that it’s only been happening to me since the big update in June. Before that, everything was working perfectly. That update messed everything up for me. The baby couldn’t be born anymore, Zois just kept fighting, and so on. Even a new game and more recent updates, as well as the steps described, couldn’t fix many of the issues. I haven’t played since.

Same, but recently, my entire screen is flickering non stop.

The streetlights started flickering for me after the June update too, but only with the new lighting option enabled (“realistic shadows”, I think). Disabling that solved the issue. I haven’t tried re-enabling it since to see if this is still a problem, I assume it is.

We apologize again for the inconvenience this issue may have caused. The fix has been applied in v0.3.6, and the issue should now be resolved.

Fixed an intermittent issue where lights may intermittently flicker on streets or properties.

Since the matter is addressed, I will close this thread.
