Texture Flickering

[KingNothing (DayZ) 0]

Rather than try to describe it to you, I'll just take the easy route and give you a screenshot:

 

 

As you see in the screenshot, the window textures and around them are messed up. They flicker like this constantly (black flickering). I've tried changing various graphics settings in-game, as well as some settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel, none of which helped. I heard that changing the video memory option sometimes fixes problems similar to this, but it did not work for me. Here are my in-game settings nonetheless:

 

 

My GPU: Asus GTX 670 DirectCU II Top 2GB

NVIDIA driver version: 332.21 (1/7/2014)

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if you've tried turning VSync on, VSync prevents tearing and that's really what it looks like to me. I do get some flickering of textures but it's a definite flickering not tearing like this looks. I have a AMD 7870 2gig and run with VSync off.

I've tried turning VSync on. It made no difference.

Turn everything on low.

Turn everything on low.

Doesn't make any difference.

Here's a GIF so you can get the full effect of the "flicker":

I have this too when SLI is enabled. I think it is a known problem for the Arma2 devs, but not the DayZ team. I believe its called Z-fighting.

I don't have SLI. Thank you for identifying what this phenomenon is actually called though. Good to know.  :)

Bumping this thread as I've the same issues with z-fighting.

 

Playing with the in game settings, and the settings through the AMD Catalyst Control Center yield no results. Using an ASUS HD7950 with latest drivers. No one has found a fix yet?
