Short summary of your issue
Screen flicker looks like its going in out of map modes

Game Version
1.0.3

What OS are you playing on?
Windows

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Have you tried verifying your game files?
No

How much "pain" is this causing you?
4

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
If I leave the game on idle and leave for bit without moving the mouse the game screen starts to flicker like its changing between the detailed map and the zoomed out map mode. I can play normally and don't have the bug for several hours but it randomly happens if I stop doing anything.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Leave the game on idle not moving the mouse. It feels pretty random and can happen out side of saved game. Alt tabbing can fix the problem temporarily.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
My graphic card has the Nvidia Driver Version 522.25 and is a Rtx 2070 mobile. Using a external display that 2560x1440 165hz with gsync. Not sure if the save can help identify the issue.

I have attached a save game
Yes

I have the same issue. The screen continually flickers. Please help!
I found updating the GPU drivers to the newest ones helped but the problem doesn't completely go away. I found switching displays also fixes the problem but if you switch back to the original the flickering is still there. Also if you move the mouse around you can randomly fix the problem but that's unreliable. If all else fails restart your PC.

I have the same issue. Do you guys have Nvidia Gsync enabled?

I have a 155 hertz monitor, Gsync enabled. I've set the max framerate for Vic3 to be 60 FPS. I've also tried 59 and 58 FPS. Still I have this flicker. The same problem happens with HOI4 as well.

What resolved this for me was:

- Go to NVIDIA Control Panel -> Manage 3D Settings -> Program Settings
- Select Victoria 3 (victoria3.exe)
- Go to Monitor Technology and select Fixed Refresh
