Hello Wincek,

I just wanted to check in. Have you had a chance to review my previous message regarding the driver updates and BIOS ReBar status? Please let me know if you’ve had an opportunity to try those steps or if you need any additional guidance. I’m here to help and would be glad to continue troubleshooting with you.

Hello,

Sorry for late response,

Yes I have enabled ReBar and tried both suggested drivers but unsuprisigly problem with lights still occurs

[JeanetteC_Intel]

Hello Wincek,

I'd like you to try installing the latest driver version 32.0.101.8136. Please use DDU in safe mode to ensure a clean installation, then test to see if the issue is resolved.

Please keep me updated on the results.

Hello Wincek,

This issue is still under investigation. To help us troubleshoot further, could you share the exact steps that trigger the problem? Our lab testing hasn't reproduced the same behavior yet.

Additionally, please specify which mode you're experiencing this in.

Thanks for your patience.

Best regards,

Yes the trigger is enable by render.lighttilecspathenable at 1 value which is basic setting of game. After setting value in config file or in game to 0 the problem of flashing lights doesnt happen because all lights are off anyway.

Hello Wincek,

Thanks for confirming the workaround with render.lighttilecspathenable. While setting it to 0 does eliminate the flashing by disabling lights, I still need to know which game mode you're experiencing this issue in originally (with the setting at 1). This will help determine if it's mode-specific or affects all gameplay areas.

I'm looking forward to your reply.

Every game modes, just in places where the lights are originally designed on maps

Hello Wincek,

I appreciate this important detail. Let me look into this internally and I'll circle back with an update

Hello Wincek,

Based on our investigation, we've determined that the problem occurs specifically when modifying the render.lighttilecspathenable setting from its default configuration. Our testing confirms that the system functions properly when using the default settings.

Since this involves game-specific configurations, we suggest reaching out to Official EA Help Support for further assistance. They can provide detailed explanations about this behavior and offer appropriate solutions or alternative settings.

EA Support is available through their official website.

Sincerely,

JeanetteC.
