During the new game load process, every non-GUI element except the background (e.g. nebulas, planets and ships) flickers quite violently, as seen in this video:

[warning: see above description]


It could well be a health hazard, so would be good to get it fixed.

Just to confirm: this has pretty much always been a thing, right? Not that it doesn't need fixing at some point, but as far as I know this has been a long-standing issue.

IIRC in previous version moving objects would 'jerk' around a bit (e.g. a ship would be alternately drawn at its current position and the position a number of frames ago), but not disappear/reappear outright like this.

The flickering is definitely new, and quite nauseating.

[Alex]

... ah. I'll be sure to have a look, then.

I had it happen twice and differently each time.  Regular, old flicker, where static goes back and forth a frame, and the new one, where the nebulas and a layer of stars flashed in and out of existence. New one is way worse.

(Fixed this up! Still not sure why it was happening here but not for "load game" or "continue", and what might've changed to make this more of an issue than it was, it's odd.)
