Palettes are blinking

Hi Everyone,

A very annoying thing is happening for a while. I use AC25 build 5010 under Windows 11. AC keeps refreshing its palettes in every 1 minute on average. It's very random, sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes 1 minute or more. Only the palettes, not the main window. It happens when AC is active and when it's idle as well. This phenomenon affects only AC, other apps works as usual.

Any idea to get rid of this blinking?

first, try upgrading to build 6000 for AC25. hopefully it fixes it. then check if you need any graphics card updates.

Thank you Gerry,

Build 6000 isn't available yet (HUN). My graphics card is a GTX 1660 Ti maybe not the best for professional use but I had no issues with it. I updgraded and downgraded to different versions, same result. Ocassionaly I use AC22 for an older project. It does the same "blinking". Maybe it's a Windows 11 related problem.

Since this is a graphics/display issue, you could also try to update your graphics card drivers and see if that makes a difference.

If nothing solves it, you might want to report this to your local reseller, so they can forward it to Graphisoft for investigation. It may be useful to send them a short video clip of the issue as well.
