Which version of proton are you using?
For me, when I load the game, sometimes at the title screen, but more frequently only when I start a competitive game, the entire screen starts flashing black and then back to the game maybe once or twice a second. It often settles down after a minute and stops flashing, but sometimes it starts flashing again or it won’t stop for the entire game. And then, sometimes, the entire screen turns black and stays black and I have to restart the game to get the graphics to return.

I always switch back and forth between hotfix and experimental to see if one works better. So basically, I use those two.

I tried proton-ge, using proton plus, and I got no flashing screen, even when playing a 1v1 competitive match. Hopefully, it will still work when I play with my friend later.
Thanks for the tip. I think it probably worked.

Thanks I’ll give it a shot. Especially because I don’t want this technical problem to ruin this long tradition.

I don’t know man, but my instincts of repairing pcs for the last 30 years tell me its either a graphics driver issue, a graphics card issue, or an issue with the PSU - that’s where i would start looking
