Happens both on my NVidia Desktop and AMD Laptop, both Windows 11 - is there a solution for this problem? It's super annoying. The game plays fine otherwise.

My problem is similar, and may be related. Desktop machine, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 with the latest Game Ready Driver (v566.14 released Nov 12, 20240, new install of the game as of today, resolution 2560x1600 on a 4k Samsung monitor. I noticed during the intro, while the game is starting, that the screen flashes black intermittently, for fractions of a second. During gameplay it does the same, never for an entire second, but it repeats rapidly, then stops after a couple of seconds.I have not yet tried the Extreme Edition. Anyone know what maycause this on Nvidia cards?

SOLVED!

In looking on the web, I happened on this link, which solved my problem nicely:
