Sometimes my whole Brave Window starts to flicker. It appears especially when I watch youtube videos.
Yes, I have turned Use hardware acceleration when available off and I have also disabled Vertical Sync in my Nvidia Control Panel for Brave. But the flickering is still there and it is very annoying. I also feel like it has become more over the last few weeks.
I have read many forum posts about it but everybody seams to solve this issue with turning off Hardware acceleration. Unfortunately it doesnāt work for me.
Brave Version( check About Brave): v 1.62.153
Edit 31.05.2024: Today a similar issue happened to me again but in discord. I want to include my experience here because I think it might help others, although Iām not 100% sure it is the same issue: I experienced a similar flashing of the screen in discord. ofc I tried all that Nvida control Panel stuff but It didnāt work. I noticed that Itās not happening on a other monitor. I checked and as soon as I set my main monitor to 60 Hz and not 144 Hz the flickering stops. Long story short: I ended up using a more expenisive HMDI Cable and set my monitor to 120Hz and the flickering stoped.
I will probably invest in a more expensive DP-Cable soon so I can use my monitor with 144Hz again.
I hope this helps someone.
Uninstall GPU drivers, Clean install of Latest GPU drivers, Restart the PC, keep all Nvidia settings in default and see if the issue still exists or gets fixed
I uninstalled my Graphics card drivers via the Control Panel, installed new ones from the official Nvidia website and made a clean install. I rebooted my system turned hardware acceleration on and rebooted again.
I feel like the flickering got less but it is definitely still there.
I also restored the Default settings in Nvidia Control Panel.
Yes on other Profiles still the same. However I think it doesnāt flicker when I have a Light theme in the Brave settings. Which I donāt want to keep though.
Iāve had this come up a few times on fresh installs of windows and gpu drivers as well. One tip I would say is to try forcing vulkan within the brave:// flags settings. You shouldnāt need to add or change themes thatās kind of weird.
Confirmed here. Thatās definitely a regression that shipped as part v1.62.153 or previous v1.62.0x version.
I am with an intel CPU with no external graphics and didnāt have flickering occur on v1.61.
It flickers when a combination of the following occurs:
I am in my window-managerās (i3wm) full-screen mode, or even actual full-screen mode (triggered with F11, only page content visible)
I do an action that triggers a popup menu. Now it doesnāt flicker with any kind of popup menu, but the kind that is actually centered horizontally. For example :
when adding a bookmark the first popup aligned with the start of the URL bar doesnāt flicker, but when editing the destination folder via āChoose another folderā in the dropdown menu, it changes to another kind of popup and the whole window starts to flicker.
when I want to close a window with multiple tabs open and a confirmation popup appears.
This flickering is strong enough to make me feel like on the verge of having an epilepsy crisis. Clearly not something any user would want to live with.
Please let me know if thereās a better place to report this additional description of the bug. Definitely something off here.
The flickering I experienced was mostly on youtube Videos or when I hovered over the adress bar.
Your description about you flickering seams different than what I experienced.
I hope you will find a Solution for your problem.
There are many of this community posts about it which seam to help for others. I can also advise you to look up this topic on reddit.
For the time your problem is not solved remember that you probably can export passwords, bookmarks and stuff like that to different Browser.
Same issue here but i only noticed it in youtube video, not an nvidia gpu but amd (rx 6950xt) flickering occured with and without hardware acceleration and i didnāt seem to have this issue before december/january could not pin point the start of it.
I am already using a black theme ( donāt think i could use oled one, too dark imo but i might tried)
after a few test i can say for sure that i donāt have that on Edge so really specific to Brave
