Avowed: Screen flickering and game stutter when using Nukem Frame Generation #739

Description

@AsianGodStick

Game:
Avowed (Xbox GamePass)

Mods and mod versions used:
OptiScaler_v0.7.9 + Fakenvapi 1.2.1 + Nukem 0.130

GPU:
AMD RX 9070

OS:
Windows 11

Manual installed through the set_up.bat file ,shouldn't be a problem as it runs correctly when playing other games
In-game upscaler setting: DLSS

(Please note: This report was translated with AI assistance for clarity. I apologize for any unintended errors in phrasing.)

I have encountered two distinct issues since installing OptiScaler:

Issue 1、Screen Flickering with Frame Generation:

Description: During normal gameplay in Borderless Fullscreen, the screen exhibits occasional but noticeable flickering.

Troubleshooting: This issue is directly tied to Nukem Frame Generation. Disabling DLSS Frame Generation completely resolves the flickering.

Issue 2、Persistent Game Stuttering/Freezing (Seems unrelated to Frame Generation):

Description: The game suffers from severe freezes that lock the entire screen for several seconds. This occurs at specific, predictable moments:

Shortly after loading into the game world and gaining control of my character for the first time.

The first time I open the Inventory or Map screen after starting the game.

Troubleshooting: This stuttering/freezing issue persists even after Frame Generation is disabled. It appears to be a separate problem that has been present since the initial installation of OptiScaler.

Additional Context: Interestingly, I initially encountered an even more severe display issue where the screen would continue to flicker persistently even after closing the game, which was quite surprising. This particular problem was completely resolved by switching to a certified HDMI 2.1 cable.
