    Intense flickering

    Is anyone else experiencing a very intense flickering?

    On the main screen my Coat of Arms (badge or whatever you want to call it), flashes in and out very rapidly and in-game the entire screen flickers violently. It only applies to the actual gameplay. For example; The tutorial boxes that snap in from the right are not affected.

    It's a good thing I'm not epileptic because its extremely powerful and painful to look at.

    Also game runs very smoothly at extreme graphics and even turning down to low doesn't even curb the intensity of flickering.

    I just found a workaround by desactivating the SLI in nvidia control panel

    It is just the two of us who got this issue ?
    Currently the game suffer too much drop in fps if i disable the SLI even with the minimal graphic settings that i can't play multiplayer ( kicked when fps < 30 )
    With the sli enabled i turn 90-100 fps constant but the flickering is just killing my eyes all the background and some part of the hud just keeps flashing in-game and in the menu.

    I spend many hours trying to tweak the sli configuration through nvidia inspector, even try to install older nvidia drivers there is no workaround and i didn't find any usefull resource on this forum nor on google about this issues.

    So far I still haven't found anything that works and I haven't had time to try the SLI but so far no one else seems to have this issue. Upsetting to say the least but hoping that this is fixed at least for release.

    Hey guys,

    If you are all having this flickering while in SLI, it may be due to the current Nvidia driver not having a correct SLI profile for For Honor during the beta test period.

    You could try creating a new driver profile for the game exe file in GeForce Experience, setting the render mode to AFR1 and see if this helps.

    I messed up a lot with nvidia inspector trying multiple SLI compatibility bits, v-sync, g-sync, the number of GPUs on sli rendering mode ( got a tri sli here ) none fixed the issue.
    Try the last and the next older nvidia driver too.

    The only solution for being able to play was desactivate SLI in nvidia control panel for for honor and setting up all setting to the minimum and also reducing my resolution instead of 3440*1440 i run the game on 2560*1440.

    Also every time i launch the game i set the priority of the application "for honor.exe" to high.

    I'm able to run the game with constant 60 fps this way but this goes without saying this is a huge let down for me.
