Graphic Flickering issue - Please help, im going blind

Okay, I have a gtx 1070, and ever since I started playing, even before I upgraded my computer, I've been having this CONSTANT flickering around grass.

I've tried everything, I've tried updating graphics drivers, I've tried turning off the grass setting entirely, I've tried using nvidia tools to turn on dlss stuff from things I found from reddit, I don't know what it is but I can't take it anymore.

The flickering around the grass makes the entire screen flash white. It's like someone is sticking a strobe light DIRECTLY into my eyes. It's so painful that I have a hard time progressing because the screen flashed so much that my eyes hurt too much to keep going.


Also it's not just when I go through grass, it's when the grass is around me as well, so it's not the ambient occlusion setting.


PLEASE can someone help me.


I'm using a 1080p monitor too btw.



Here is a video showing exactly what's happening:

still need help on this, this is kinda preventing me from progressing because of the flashing in all the dungeons and landscapes x.x

Can you try something for me please?

Go into System Configuration > Graphics Settings > Scroll down to "Screen Space Ambient Occlusion" and set it to "Off" and apply settings.


Google brings up mixed results, ambient occlusion, GPU driver issues etc.



Also.

NVIDIA Graphics Driver 552.44 is not the up to date drivers.


The latest driver available for the GTX 1070 is Driver Version 556.12 released on 27th June 2024.

Had something similar since DT with glowing light sources that would flicker like crazy if i played in borderless windowed mode like usual.
Switching to fullscreen fixed it, but what it was in the end, and what also fixed it for borderless again, was that the frame rate was set to "none" instead of either matching main display refresh rate or any of the other options below. Can't tell if this is related to your issue, but doesn't hurt to give it a try and only takes you seconds.

Tried turning screen space ambient occlusion off, didn't work.

Also tried changing the main display refresh rate to 60 fps, and the issue is still there.


I tried replacing my graphics card with a RTX 3050 that i had lying around AND updated graphics card driver. Didn't work.

Changed HDMI cable, didn't work.
Changed to DisplayPort, didn't work.


At this point the only thing I can think of causing the issue is the monitor itself so I think I just need a new monitor at this point.

1080p might just not be cut out for it.

It could very well be the monitor itself.

Could be the backlight on the monitor that's faulty, a new monitor is likely needed.


GTX 1070 and RTX 3050 are both 1080p GPU's so buying any resolution above that is a waste.

I got the same issue and it really starts to annoying me. Everytime im in Limsa or Tuli it start flickering like crazy. Allready tried borderless or full window, setting fps limits and not. I play on Notebook and this flickering problem just happens in FFXIV special areas (Limsa mostly). Anyone can help me ?

Good morning! Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Please try the following:
- Update and reinstall the drivers for your graphics card and sound drivers (if applicable).
- Please try adjusting/lowering the resolution.
- Please try running the game as an administrator.
- Perform a clean boot by opening the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything.
- Please be sure that Final Fantasy XIV is installed to the C: Drive. (If Steam version, make sure both the game and Steam are installed on same drive)
- Please be sure to disable or remove any overlays (Discord, Steam, NVIDIA etc.) as they may interfere with startup.
- Make sure that the Windows OS is fully updated.
- Verify installation files (Steam)
- Reinstall game (If steam version, try uninstalling and reinstalling both the game and Steam)

Thank you once again for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!
