Tomb Raider tierrible screen flicker fix?

So I gave in and brought Tomb Raider. Alls well up unitil i start getting this horrific screen flickering that seems to start at the centre of the screen, usually when the FPS is at it's highest. It's so bad it renders teh game entirely unplayable. I had a similar issue with Crysis 3 but that was fixed by turning AA off, sadly this doesn't work with TR...
Anyone else had this problem??? Or is it perhaps just a setting that needs tweaking via NCP...?

what graphics card?

EVGA 670 SLI... Though in doing a bit more research I can see that it's very poorly optimized for SLI setup at the mo. Might just leave it a week or so, see if they release an update.

Made an account just to comment. I'm having the samme problem. So far nothing resolved, BUT it seems that it has something to do with the Tesselation option being enabled. I've not had it happen to me ever since I turned Tesselation off, but I like my tesselation, I think I'll wait, just like you, a week or so, until some patches are relesed for the game and some drivers are updated to my GTX 660ti (lovely card btw.)

Something else, My bushes flicker as if they're switching between being in a shadowed state and sunlit. Really odd and distracting.
Here's a video showing the bush bug.
And another video showing the same bug (skip through until the just after the camp site).

Specs:
Z77 extreme 4 mobo
i5-3570K (not OC)
GTX 660ti (not OC)
8GB 1600mhz corsair vengence ram.

Driver and windows update state: Up to date, and good to go.


I'll see if I ever visit this forum again, lol. Good luck to all.

Hi,

this issue is dirver related and NVIDIA is working hard to get this fixed as fast as possible. For now I would suggest to disable tessalation then it should be playable.

Actually - 311.06 WHQL Windows Update -

Use these drivers, they are the current recommended for Tomb Raider

To download the driver for your card you need to open the following link in Internet Explorer;

http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx

Next type in your card model

Once the list has appeared click on "Last updated" and look for driver version 9.18.13.1106 (for Windows Vista / 7/ 8) or 6.14.13.1106 (for Windows XP) in the list

for me the largest size was the 64bit... Then unpack the cab file and run the setup.exe, make sure to click custom/clean install

You sir, are a gentlemen! I shall try this later tonight

You're welcome

However they are only a quick fix, we need new Nvidia drivers as people are having issues with Crysis 3 as well.

Oh yeah ofcourse. Any new's on the stereopic 3d settings yet? I'm quite looking forward to seeing how it looks. Any game with inbuilt options for tweaking it usually means it looks great.
