General Question Blinking display

[dmurley]

When I run Orbiter 2016 the display sometimes "blinks." While this doesn't cause the software to crash it is pretty annoying. Has this been seen before? If so, what causes it? Will putting a graphics card on my machine help with this problem?

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega Graphics
3500 Mhz, 4 cores
Microsoft Windows 10 Home
8 GB RAM

Does this happen with the built-in graphics, with the D3D9 client, or both?
If it happens with the built-in client, does it help if you tick the "Disable hardware pageflip" option in the Video tab?

I have not consciously installed the D3D9 client, so I assume that it is not present (could it have been installed without my knowing about it?). I have ticked the "Disable hardware pageflip" option in the Video tab and (for the moment) the blinking has disappeared. Time will tell. Thanks for your help.
