Hi, I noticed Dota 2 keeps flickering only when playing that game. I've checked my system specs: Ryzen 5 2600, 32GB RAM, GTX 1060, 2TB NVMe, Samsung SSD. I've tried reinstalling GPU drivers through DDU, verified the game files in Steam Check and Nvidia Control Panel, adjusted VSync settings, changed cables and slots, even reinstalled drivers fully after updating Windows. It seems to happen only with Dota 2—other games like Komblaster and Warframe run smoothly. What might be causing this issue? I'm having trouble and think it's not the GPU since other titles work fine. 20250315_173953.mp4

Noting this isn't on your list: have you attempted a fresh install of Dota 2? (You did check file integrity, but it's still worth trying.) Here are some practical tips I suggest:
1. Turn off overlays like Discord or Steam overlay.
2. Launch the game using these settings—autoconfig, -dx11. Start with autoconfig only, then adjust if needed.
3. Disable full-screen optimizations in the game's executable (Right-click → Properties → Compatibility).
