Ultrawide - Sim freezes/flashing images betwen windowed/full screen

Post by aceridgey »

Hello,

Going between borderless fullscreen and windowed (alt+enter) causes the screen to flash black and the image quickly.

Furthermore, there are coloured artifacts on the far right of my screen sometimes.

I am running 3140x1440 ultrawide

Hi Alex,

Does the flash/freeze only happen once during the transition or are you seeing constant flashing after switching between fullscreen and windowed?

The artifacts are a known issues and are currently being investigated. Please see this thread for more information: viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=137248

Hi Brad, thanks for your reply.

A little of both, in answer to your question.

The issue is introduced, by going from fullscreen to windowed. If I get the freeze with horizontal black lines, the flight is unrecoverable, I have to save the situaiton and reload.

Kind regards,
Alex

BUMP -

Hello, I would really appreciate if the DEVS would at least acknowledge that they are aware of this and looking into it for V5.1

I am fed up of having to load and reload the sim every time this happens.
