SINCE UPDATE : Is anyone else experiencing **intense full-screen flashing** lately? For me, the **entire screen blinks rapidly** specifically when **warping** or when **scrolling/zooming in and out**. It’s bad enough that one of my corp mates had to stop playing immediately due to **photosensitivity/epileptic concerns**. The flashing is extremely harsh and not just a minor flicker. Before I file a full bug report, I wanted to check if others are seeing the same issue today. \*\*Is this happening to anyone else? warping is like going to a bad Russian Rave.\*\* ---

I’ve not had flashing while warping, but I do get it from various “cloud” effects at sites. It’s fixed by turning postprocessing down to Medium. ---

Yes, also gates, stations (player mainly, and inside and out), some ships and wormholes are not only flashing but their wire-frames are distorted beyond recognition. Wormholes started being truly horrible yesterday, its literately painful. ---

I’m not sure if the two are related, but missile explosions are also broken. Missile impacts produce odd white rings around wrecks that are very distracting. ---

The missile explosion flashing has become worse and making it quite difficult to enjoy the game. constant flashing cant be good for photosensitive people/ ---

I am too getting the very bright flashes with missile impacts. Its like a donut shaped very bright explosion that looks like a strobe light. Tried pretty much all possible graphic options. Turning post processing down makes them a little less bright but the flashing still happens. ---

I’m having the same issue with kinetic missiles creating weird bright rings. An example (at 04:25): [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/d/2/3/d231dedb7b2548ad0f56347b57641a2c2a61db58.jpeg "EVE Online Multiple Markets and Navy Raven Fittings") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMRF5_pazVQ&t=265) ---

> [@Rendering artefact during PVE](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/rendering-artefact-during-pve/506444): > > I am seeing circular artefacts during PVE sessions, that seem to coincide with incoming explosions. Here’s a frame grab from an OBS recording. The artefact lasts for exactly one frame and occurs every time there’s an explosion next to my ship (but not any other ship). I call that the world’s worst Praxis ring. Downsampling the capture seems to get rid of it (I don’t know, I converted the mkv capture to mp4 and it went from ring to really bright flare) ---

Same thing happening to me in Abyss, its extremely annoying…. Edit: Nothing works for me DX11 changing shader or post processing. ---

27.2 Update seem to have fixed this for me. ---

It started for me after the update, pretty much every area I warp into flashes consistently unless I farm very far out. The color of the flash somehow correlates to the are of space that is zoomed into when I warp, so e.g. a red flare will cause red flashes etc. ---
