Hardware Screen Flicker issues

[dragon184]

Hello everyone,

I've been noticing some screen flicker at the bottom half of the screen lately and I'm trying to figure out what's been causing this. At first it's really hard to repeat since it occurs when there is like a cut scene or when I'm running around in a particular game. I have changed the HDMI cable, switched the RGB option to full and limited and monitored the temperatures. At first since i thought it was the monitor that is causing the issue. But now i have finally captured the flickering on both the Switch itself and while it's docked. Have anyone ever came across this?

Running:
SXOS v3.1.0
Switch 11.0.0 Mariko

Hope it's ok for me to upload the video on mega:

Many Thanks

Er, I looked at the videos. Is it the white flicker in the middle of the screen you're referring to? If it's only this one game and it happens both in TV and handheld modes, I think it's just the game's rain effect getting too close to the camera.

Yeap, the white flicker in the middle of the screen. It happened on 3 different games. I noticed it on first on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 a few times on the bottom half of the screen but i have never been able to capture it. So i just thought it was just a minor bug. It happened on a second game as well on the bottom half as well, then also on this game as well. On the third game it happened 3 times (this being the third).

for the first 2 games it was the bottom half but with the third game, it got me confused since it happens "behind" the dialogue box.....

Oh, I thought it was just this game. Is it exactly like this in other games? Could you capture the effect on a different game?
I still think the footage you captured is just the in-game rain. It's the same colour, same frequency, behind the menu and everything.

I can try, but it'll take a while since most of the other games will just flash once and it's really random. So if i miss it, I might not be able to reproduce it and it'll reoccur some where else in the game.

Would you say it looks odd to be a rain effect? I can try to see if i can get another footage in this game in a different area if possible.

I've just closed the dialogue box ran around and not able to reproduce that half screen flicker.
