Game launch and Loading Screen Flicker

running game on full screen makes my screen flicker like goes to black and to loading screen and repeats and then the game launches. every time i get a loading screen this happens as well. any ideas how to fix this? is this a compatibility problem? i'm on win 10 and all my drivers are updated fully.

I have the same issue too and I want to say that it started after Windows 10. That said, others have stated that they have Windows 10 and have not encountered this.

Here's a thread on a workaround:

Have you tried running it in Windowed Fullscreen instead of Fullscreen or vice versa. Compatability mode in windows 7/vista/XP or as an administrator might help as well. If that doesnt work then maybe try a fresh install of the game

I have the same issue long ago, not sure if that because of my graphic card or ram, what I do:If you have a good graphic card / RAM, try changing the resolution settings to "Windowed Fullscreen" option and see if that helps

If it isn't helping, I guess the only thing left to do is doing full re-install or send a ticket

If you have windows 10, try disabling the Game Mode, it has been known to cause issues in many games

Same problem here in 2019. Windowed is no solution for me as I user Virtual Super Resolution to get 1440p, that's only possible in Full screen mode.This really bugs me every time I start GW2. Any ideas?
