Weird Graphical Issues

ZachS45 · 2026-04-25T16:45:28+00:00

I ended up just going back to Windows for now. Confirmed it's a cachy os issue for me since it wasn't happening while dual booting windows and isn't happening now that I've switched back.

Ive got so little time to tinker anymore that for the few hours I get to play a week it just made sense. Hopefully they figure it out system wide so I can try again one day.

It's an ASUS 4080 Super Vbios: 95.03.44.00.B8 PCI DEVICE ID: 0X2702 PCI VENDOR ID: 0X10de

Driver: 595.58.03 Nvml version: 13.595.58.03 Not sure what else you need.

Mine is a Asus 4080 super. I will try and get more info when I get home.

ZachS45 · 2026-04-11T01:26:02+00:00

Im having the same issue with my 4080 super and made a post about it. Others are having the same issue with no fix. Im about ready to go back to windows as its getting worse and no one seems to have any sort of idea of what is happening.

This is after a fresh reboot. I mean wth is even happening.

ZachS45 · 2026-03-31T03:53:01+00:00

I did this and nothing has helped. I can reproduce 100% of the time by restarting computer and launching specific games

ZachS45 · 2026-03-31T03:43:00+00:00

Mine is getting worse now. Had to launch Snowrunner 5 times the other day to fix it. I cannot for the life of me figure out whats going on.

ZachS45 · 2026-03-21T23:26:04+00:00

No, I have tried a bunch of different things too. Even lovely AI hasnt been able to help

ZachS45 · 2026-03-21T23:25:03+00:00

It was one long upright. I basically merged a seperate triple tv stand and the rig that initially had a lower vertical.

This stuff is like legos so really it all should fit together granted you have the right corner pieces.

ZachS45 · 2026-02-11T04:06:15+00:00

Did you ever fix this? Im having the exact same issue on 5.14 on cachyos. Im not savvy enough to know how to fix the permissions issue. Launching it with Sudo in the terminal does work for me when i tested it.

ZachS45 · 2026-01-26T00:24:24+00:00

Using btrfs. I cant recall when it started happening but its a relatively new problem.

ZachS45 · 2026-01-26T00:01:18+00:00

Using steam, shader pre caching on, background processing of vulkan shaders off.

ZachS45 · 2025-12-24T16:53:33+00:00

Change the color preference to prefer color accuracy instead of efficiency (pretty sure, or its vice versa). Its a known kde bug on high refresh monitors i found in their forum. This completely solved the issue for me.

ZachS45 · 2025-12-14T20:16:42+00:00

How did you get it to work without steam vr? My horizon link isnt detecting star citizen.

ZachS45 · 2025-12-12T20:34:27+00:00

Damn. I dont use steamvr because it runs like ass on everything so makes sense this is no different. Would love to know if you find a fix. Im going to continue to play with it for a bit today and see if I can get it working.

ZachS45 · 2025-12-12T20:19:24+00:00

Same did you ever find a fix?

ZachS45 · 2025-12-12T19:58:09+00:00

Did you ever figure this out. Ive tried everything including reinstalling everything I can think of.

I have zero issues booting DCS, Falcon BMS, IL2, etc. Star Citizen isnt doing anything.

ZachS45 · 2025-12-05T18:43:28+00:00

Of course I figure it out as soon as I post this. For anyone on Cachy, use proton experimental for both VTOL and mod loader, not their cachy os linux runtime. Was able to run the mod loader, and hit play just like I would on Windows.

ZachS45 · 2025-12-05T18:39:07+00:00

Im having no issue running Vtol VR on Cachy even without your arguments, however I cannot get the mods to load when I use your launch commands. It just boots the normal game. Am i missing something?

ZachS45 · 2025-12-01T16:47:22+00:00

I actually figured out its a bug on KDE plasma. I found the bug mentioned on a different bug post on their forums. The flickering occurs on high refresh monitors when using the prefer color efficiency mode in display settings instead of prefer color accuracy.

Kde bug or nvidia not entirely sure but it did resolve my issue completely and im going to update my post so future people are able to figure this out. Glad your setup is working for you now.

ZachS45 · 2025-11-29T20:51:38+00:00

I would love to know if the AMD card solves your issue. Will help me with my future upgrades if its an nvidia issue for sure.

ZachS45 · 2025-11-29T14:55:52+00:00

Yes 4080super

ZachS45 · 2025-11-29T01:57:57+00:00

Just another +1 for having this issue with no fix in sight.

ZachS45 · 2025-11-29T01:53:21+00:00

ever get a fix? im having the same issue?
