Strange screen flickering if I'm playing MC in window mode. Switching to full screen will solve the problem. Anyways, annoying. I have this bug since I use this new PC with Windows 8 64-bit. So it is not depending on the MC version. |

It's gone here on my PC. There's no flickering since 13w38 |

Same problem with the new launcher and 1.6.2. Windows 8 64 bit here as well. |

Right, I have absolutely the same thing. 13w16a Java 7 Update 21 and latest nvidia drivers which is 314.22. And Win 8 PC is re-installed recently. |

Still happens for me as well. Minecraft 13w16a (new launcher, of course), Java 7 Update 21, with nvidia driver version 314.22. This was tested with threaded optimization completely disabled (not only for java). |

|
Yep, it does, at least on my pc |

Does this also happen in the latest 1.6 snapshot (new launcher?) |

Disable threaded optimization globally, not just for javaw.exe. Fixed for me. |

There is also a topic on the forums which contains a good video of the issue: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1629985-flickering-gui/#entry20291371 A few posts below that shows a very similar issue happening on OS X. |

You wrote
thus not a Minecraft problem. Try to get decent graphics card drivers. |

It's not a technical support thing. This is just in Minecraft not in other games. So I think the problem is somewhere in the code. |

Same issue here. Intel i7-3770, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 768MB (driver 310.90), Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, Java 7 Update 11 64-bit. |

I have been experiencing the same issue. I have disabled threaded optimization for javaw.exe (made sure I selected the correct exe, too) in the nvidia control panel and still see the flickering. Temperatures are well below 60C for CPU and GPU. I have never had these issues with unmodded Minecraft until I tried it on Windows 8. To better describe the flickering, I can see water, far terrain, or the HUD go invisible for a very short period of time. As for switching to fullscreen, that does seem to fix it but it also looks like switching back to windowed will keep the flickerng away. Intel i5-3550, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB (driver 310.70), Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, Java 7 Update 10 64-bit |

Where can I disable Threaded optimization? |
| Comment by Ultimate Omicron [ 13/Jan/13 ] |

Try disabling Threaded Optimization. Also check if your video card isn't overheating, Minecraft can generate a lot of load even on the best cards and nVidia cards tend to flicker when they're above 65C. And they pass that barrier way too easily. |
