Fix: Assetto Corsa Competizione Screen Flickering or Tearing Issue

Assetto Corsa Competizione sparkling effect seems to impact console players a lot during the gameplay when it comes to performance. Whereas not everyone likes their game to be so shimmery or shiny which might be occurring due to the improper display settings, motion blur effect, and more. We’ve already found some reports on Reddit about it. Well, some reports are suggesting that trying out another monitor or TV or even re-plugging HDMI can fix it out.

If we talk about the developer 505 Games, they’re trying to provide a fix soon. However, rebooting the game twice in a quick session can help you to fix the screen flickering issue easily. As per 505 Games, the first restart will fix the download issue and the second restart will activate the screen shimmering fix. So, you should try it out. Don’t worry. You’ll still be able to save the world in Assetto Corsa Competizione.

However, there are some possible workarounds mentioned below that should gonna help you out if the recommended solutions didn’t come in handy. So, without wasting any more time, let’s jump into it.

2. Try Changing HDMI Cable

You can also try changing the HDMI cable or simply unplugging the HDMI cable from the display device and plugging back into it. This should fix the temporary connectivity or screen glitches in some cases.
