    UI Flickering in High Population Zones

    I'm having an interesting problem since the newest patch. Occasionally in high population zones such as Mor Dhona, when turning the camera or jumping my UI (Chat, Quest tracker, skill bars) will flicker off and then on again. This is very quick and only noticeable if you pay attention to it. It does not happen in low population areas.

    I have tried changing from windowed to borderless windowed to fullscreen and that changes nothing. I have tried disabling Occlusion Culling as I thought that may be the issue but no such luck.

    My PC setup:

    Intel i7 3770k
    Sabretooth Z77 Mobo
    EVGA GTX 780 6GB
    8GB DDR3

    Does anyone have insight into this kind of issue?

    Getting the same issue here. Played around with every setting in the Graphics Settings menu, nothing seemed to affect it.

    My PC:
    AMD Phenom II X4 3.2Ghz
    Asus M4A79XTD Evo mobo
    ATI Radeon HD 4890
    4 GB DDR3
    Windows 7 64 bit

    Edit: It seems to be directly caused by the amount of people on screen. Under System Config > Other Settings > Display Limits, setting the "Character and Object Quantity" to Low or Minimum gets rid of the flickering; Normal and higher has flickering.

    Can confirm this as well. Setting it to minimum or low yields no flickering.

    Found out something else that hopefully helps in fixing this. I can force the flicker to happen (even with the display limit set to minimum) by having players on the screen and pressing the Target Filters button (default is the X key, I think) to remove the names on screen. Specifically, the flicker happens when letting go of the X key and the names reappear.

    Yup same for me.. so this seems to be a valid issue. Any way to bring this more to SE's eye?
