Hello, @Kawamaha

Thank you for the checklist! I'll begin testing on my end and should have an update in a few days.

In the meantime, can you share if this case happened on older graphics drivers, and if any changes to graphics settings affect if the flashing lights appear?

This did also happen with driver version 4953 but in the main game, the arena game mode wasn't available back then, and not as frequently.

It seems to occur most of the time on "Block" and "Chop Shop" in Arena.

Switching on/off some graphic settings didn't seem to help much.

Thanks.

Hi @Kawamaha

I've run some tests with the game, and I might have seen the issue once or twice, but it could've also been gameplay shots. I'm also testing with the most recent driver, 101.5518. I'm also testing in "unranked mode" if that matters, but using the same maps described.

Could you specify the exact frequency this happens, and maybe if there are any characters or weapons that increase the frequency of this happening?

I'm playing the unranked "Last Hero" game mode, with different Tier 2 presets, mostly Assault and CQB.

The flashing happens very often, maybe once in a minute (?).

It's more of a location issue than preset as far as I can tell.

Hi @Kawamaha

I've been trying some more and I still don't see the issue, except maybe once, which is unfortunately much less frequently than described. I'll keep trying with some other configurations and provide an update soon.

In the meantime, I did notice there was a game update. Can you make sure the game and the drivers are the latest versions/updates and let me know if the issue still persists?

Hi @Kawamaha

I'm going to go ahead and close this case since I haven't heard back and I haven't been able to reproduce the issue. If you're able to still see the issue with the latest game updates and drivers, feel free to open a new case linking this one and we can continue where we left off.
