Hi All,
Valve just posted a new SteamVR Beta, which should revert the change which caused the flickering issue. Could those of you who started experiencing flickering with the most recent SteamVR update try the following?
1. Opt into SteamVR Beta, instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamVR/comments/4fi20t/where_can_i_opt_in_for_the_steamvr_beta/d2913y8
2. Allow SteamVR to update
3. Check whether the beta solves the flickering bug for you?
Note, you will probably want to set SteamVR to Direct Mode (if it isn't already), and check the checkbox in SteamVR Settings for "Allow Always-On Reprojection"
Please report back here with your findings, and let us know if the new SteamVR resolves or improves the black flickering bug. This info will be super helpful to Valve going forward The more detail the better
NOTE: For those of you with NVIDIA 10xx GPUs, there is also a driver bug in play with the latest driver update. Take a look here: http://forum.flyinside-fsx.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2428 This is a separate problem from the SteamVR bug
