dedmoin2 Posted December 29, 2024 Share Posted December 29, 2024 I didn't use Vortex for quite some time (maybe one year) started it again and got a couple of errors, warnings, ... So I downloaded and installed the newest version of Vortex. Everything worked fine but whenever I start Vortex the whole application flickers whenever something has to be updated on screen, sometimes not refeshing the whole screen but turn same parts black. I have updated graphics drivers and restarted my computer but it didn't resolve the problem. No other application or game has any issues it is just Vortex that freaks out. I am on Windows 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedmoin2 Posted December 29, 2024 Author Share Posted December 29, 2024 All games I am adding are said to be 'not found' but when the file browser opens to select the game folder it is automatically in the right directory and I just have to click 'select folder'. Then it tells me the folder seems to be Steam library (correct) and I have to select the launching app with Steam being pre-selected and I have to just confirm the selection because it is correct anyways. Why do I have to select and confirm things Vortex has figured out itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution dedmoin2 Posted December 29, 2024 Author Solution Share Posted December 29, 2024 disabling GPU acceleration in Vortex seems to fix the issue. I found some posts from May about this issue and it is still not fixed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted December 29, 2024 Share Posted December 29, 2024 It's not fixed because it's not Vortex causing the issue. Vortex is built on other apps that it relies on, if they have a problem then Vortex has that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on Windows 11 The flickering issue after a fresh Vortex install might be GPU-related or caused by conflicting overlays. Ensure your graphics drivers are updated and try disabling any overlays like Steam or Discord. Reinstalling Vortex and clearing its cache could also help resolve the problem.
