Game "Shadows" are Flickering

4.5

Shadows on walls or ground seem to "dance" or strobe, which is very distracting.

Symptoms
  • Flickering shadows
  • Strobe effect
  • Visual artifacts
Possible Causes
  • Ambient Occlusion bug
  • Low shadow resolution
  • Driver conflict

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Increase Shadow Quality

Low-resolution shadow maps often flicker at the edges.

2

Change Ambient Occlusion Type

Switch from SSAO to HBAO+ or disable it entirely.

3

Update GPU Drivers

Shadow rendering bugs are frequently fixed in driver updates.

When to See a Technician

Shadow flickering is often a "z-fighting" issue where two surfaces are too close together and the GPU can't decide which is in front.
