Visual bug (flashing glitch) in random moments.

Hello,
I have some problems with my game: some random flashing glitches are displayed randomly for small period of time.
Link: https://youtu.be/2IoDH1OSk3I?t=11
There are some details from hwinfo displayed on right part of the screen (only ignore temp of disk, I messed some numbers when mapping), I hope they will be visible when YT finish adding it...

I couldn't find any specific scenario to reproduce this problem but it is happening on almost every map/part of the game for 60-70% game time.

My setup:

OS: win10 home x64 with all updates
CPU: i5-12600k
GPU: MSI GTX 1660 Super gaming x with all updates
RAM: Patriot 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz CL17 Viper Steel
Storage: SSD Crucial MX500 (400 free from 500)
DirectX: Version 12


Steps I have done before posting

- Reinstall (with removing all files and folders)
- Clearing cache, client's config files
- Verifying integrity of game files
- Doing all updates (and reinstalling drivers)
- Testing PC parts, memtest is OK, GPU is OK, SSD is OK, CPU is OK.


This problem occurs only in PoE. I don't have any problems in any other game even when it push my setup to the limit (like new world with full details: GPU 90-100%, CPU 80%+)

I will be glad for any help because I'm out of ideas how to fix it...

I have the exact same problem. Random screen flashes and flickering at random times. It becomes very bad, when running delirium maps. I have searched many reddit and forum posts in hopes of finding a solution, but to no avail. This bug is very annoying and I hope a solution to this can be found.
I am having the same issue. This is what it is doing at the exact moment of the flash:

I believe the color of the flash changes, but you get the idea.

Anyone have any other ideas?

I have changed all sorts of graphic settings to try to fix it, but nothing appears to work.

Are you using dx11 or Vulkan ? I have the same issue, never happened at previous leagues, this is a new visual bug. I think it's something with textures loading.
I was testing both setting (and multiple others) and sooner or later it still happens. Sadly I have no idea how to fix it...

I have tried both and it happens with both.

I think it might happen less or be less noticeable with D11, but I have no real way of testing it.
Disabling multithreading solved it for me (12600K too)
After disabling AND restarting game it looks ok (at least for now, we will see later...).
SO, my performance sux but I can play without epilepsy - awesome. Yet one more bug for GGG to ignore.

@Jeantomic thanks for help

yeah no more flickering with multi-threading turned off...
never had this problem just started this league - upgraded to i7 12700k.

seems to be an issues with newer CPUs?


Edit:

if you run any fps caps try turning them off.
havent had any glitches with multi-threading on and fps caps off for several maps now.
