Hi @TimoMueller

This issue was already reported internally, and we are working on it. However, I do want to set the correct expectation that a possible fix may take from 3 to 6 month to be integrated into a public release driver.

[EstebanIntel]

Hi @TimoMueller,

A possible fix for this issue has been included in the latest driver version 30.0.101.1960. Can you please perform a clean install of this driver version and test it?

[EstebanIntel]

Hi @TimoMueller,

Were you able to test this?

[EstebanIntel]

Hi @IGCIT,

The fix for this issue was tested in our lab and we are not able to see it anymore. Since @TimoMueller is not responding, can this be closed?

[TimoMueller]

This issue can be reopened. Vegetation is still flickering like crazy on *.3222. Seems like an issue with alpha textures.
