Screen flickers

[TheLogom]

My Screen flickers when I started a game with Warden. Restarting the game doesn't help. With other heroes it either flickers aswell or it turns completly black

I'm having the same issue with screen flickering or going black. restarting/changing video settings doesn't make it go away. cannot play. it started after the latest patch

Same issue here. Had to abandon my match where I played together with a few friends because it was literally unplayable.

Same here. After the last update, it started flickering. I've tried everything under the graphics settings, but it still doesn't work

Can someone who reproduces the bug do this:
-enable the console in game settings
-reproduce the bug
-open the console (either F7 or the ~ key, not sure which it defaults to now)
-copy and share all of the text

Having the same issue. Hero sandbox is unusable and matches are rolling the dice.

I'm having the same issue after the last patch. Makes the game unplayable, and is a major seizure hazard(was giving me nausea/headaches only after 30 seconds or so, and that stuff usually doesn't bother me).
The bug would occur when I jumped on the zipline and continued until I hit escape to go to the in-game menu. However, after about 7 minutes it would continue flashing in the escape menu.

I'm able to reproduce this by aiming down sights repeatedly, switches between flickering, black screen, and normal.

Console log attached.

Here you are, the screen is flickering when loading into sandbox i tried a custom game and its less apparent the map is dark, also sometimes the screen is just black. On the top left of the screen it says

I am also having the same issue. I uploaded a video for what it looks like on my end:

Same issue here. Here's the console from game open to loading into sandbox. If a .txt isn't doable for you, is there a cutoff to what I should copy so I can actually post in here? Character limit got hit.

Same bug

I'm having the same issue. It's almost always flickering, but somewhat intermittent, and as mentioned will straight up go black at times. I noticed in the sandbox that by readying Kelvin's frost grenade it sometimes will change the flicker rate, or sometimes fix the flicker, and then other times just go black. You don't actually have to throw the grenade. It seems like anything that has a significant graphical change can trigger the bug.

I found it to be toggle-able with active items, like slowing hex etc.

Switches between normal, black and flickering.

i tried turning motion blur off and on and that makes the flickering stop, if i make the basic settings higher than the left two notches under video it also stops
