Show Info Flickering

[hallroger@bellsouth.net]

While watching a show the info at the bottom flickers in win10.  Anyone aware of a fix?

I experienced this a couple of years back and a graphic driver update solved it (intel on-board graphics).

Yeah, it's a bug in the intel video drivers.

Makes sense it's a new hardware build and since graphics card are just silly right now I used the onboard Intel graphics

I spent a considerable amount of time with Intel debugging this during 2018/19. The problem lies with how the Intel driver does some DirectX overlay, it's nothing really to do with NextPVR.

Intel did eventually find and patch the bug, and released a driver which fixed it in January 2020. However, I think at some point in 2020, later drivers reintroduce the bug. I'd be interested to know which driver version / build date you have which is exhibiting the bug?

For information, I am using:

Driver Version: 27.20.100.8190
Build Date: May 5, 2020

This does not exhibit the bug. I have set the Windows policy such as to not automatically install hardware driver updates, otherwise it'll keep applying a driver with the bug.

I'd recommend downloading a copy and keeping it in a safe place.

That's useful to know, thank you.  What model of integrated graphics are you using?  I have the UHD 605 graphics myself.

[Stanno]

I am running on a 6-series NUC and the graphics are HD500.
