Bug ID: 99504 Summary: Victor Vran and Tropico 5 flicker when refresh rate is above 60 Hz Product: Mesa Version: 17.0 Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) OS: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Drivers/Gallium/radeonsi Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: freedesktop@lanig.email QA Contact: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
Both games don't go above 60Hz with resolutions over 1080p on my setup but I will report this to the devs. Just for the case you like to reproduce the issue.
With the newest driver version from the Padoka PPA, RX 480 and EIZO FS-2735 flickering happens when the refresh rate is set to 119Hz or 143Hz. (Ingame settings in Tropico and xrandr for Victor Vran). As far as I remember this happend also in the beginning, has been fixed at some point(but I am not 100% sure) and now happens again.
The desktop doesn't suffer the same issue.
