Why the game has Screen Flickering?
Screen Flickering is because of your PC Graphics or your LED. The first one is related to software, while the latter one is related to hardware.
Mostly, the issue is not your software but rather your hardware. The first thing that we recommend is checking your LED by connecting it to another PC or playing something else. In case LED is not the issue, then proceed onward.
