    Hey people,

    I bought borderlands pre sequel and for some reason the screen constantly flashes/flcikers, i have the r9 290x card and ive updated all the drivers, updated all the other drives from the Dell website and just cant get it to stop, its weird becuase any other game is fine its just this one, any ideas?

    Thanks
    Matt

    It more than likely is a lack of driver support for that title. What you can do in the meantime is adjust the quality settings which could be a temp workaround until amd provides a driver specific change for that title.
