2nd Monitor flickering and Major Stuttering on gaming rig
« on: August 10, 2019, 09:04:56 AM »

Good Day/Night everyone

I have ran into the problem after about 20 hours of play time.

I have restarted my computer and tried removing mods but the problem still persists.

Here are my specs:

Ryzen 7 2700
Geforce RTX 2070
32G DDR4 ram
Win 10 Pro

Hi - sorry about the trouble!

So, to confirm, it was fine before and then this started happening? In that case, the way to go is to try to figure out what changed. One thing to check is whether your PC auto-updated your graphics drivers in the right timeframe; if so, then likely downgrading back to the previous version would help.

The other thing to look at is what software you might have installed recently, especially anything to do with video capture. Or at what might now be running, that wasn't when the game was working properly.

I rolled back to a restore point a few days back, it said the only thing that would be affected would be GeForce Experience, I not sure if it was an update to the program itself or it forced a graphics update. It seems to run perfectly fine now though just in the menu I can tell its back to normal.

Sorry to hear that! Honestly, I'm not sure there's anything I can do about this on my end. It sounds like something (the GeForce Experience?) force-updated itself on your system and it's not playing nice with Starsector...

I checked and It does not say that it was not updated. Nothing was changed since I last played like 8 hours ago.

I hear what you're saying, but... something must have changed, right? It was working fine before and now now it's not, so something's got to be different now.

Just made an account to say that I had the exact same problem,

It seems to have been fixed for me after updating my nvidia drivers, but the problem might return for me as well, we'll see.
