Resolume Forum

Hi,

Until version 7.16 there was no this problem and now in version 7.17 it is 7.17.1, both when minimizing the program the extended screen blinks, as if it lost connection, but no.

This error only happens with Resolume. In fact, I have Peek disabled, so that wouldn't be the problem.

If I open a window on it, this doesn't happen.

Anyone facing the same on version 7.17 or higher?

Did you also upgrade GPU drivers recently?

Yes!

I have the latest version of the NVIDIA driver that is available on the website.

Version: 536.99 WHQL
Release Date: 2023.8.8

What's the previous nvidia version you used, and do the flickers go away when you revert the driver?

I didn't roll back any drivers, but in version 7.16 this doesn't happen, only in 7.17 or higher.

So much so that the latest version of the NVIDIA driver is still 30 days old.

I uploaded some videos to show the bug...

1 of them is from another person who is at an event with the same problem, the other two are using Resolume and using vMix, to show that only the blinking happens within Resolume

Here is the link showing that in version 7.16 the problem that causes the screen to flicker when minimizing or any other window that is used within Windows, nothing happens.

I haven't tested it yet, but I believe the bug is very similar to this topic. They talk about adjusting a setting on the video card. I did and now let's see if the problem still persists.

Anyway, here's the link below

Hmm, I've encountered this issue on all my Resolume setups as well. I've become so accustomed to it that I nearly forgot about it.

Attempts to deactivate all visual effects in Windows never made a difference.

Here's how to reproduce the issue:

Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: NVIDIA
Software: Resolume Arena version 7.18.2
One external HDMI display

Steps:

-Open a blank composition.
-Add a single white image to one layer.
-Set the external display as your output.
-Play the white image.
-Ensure that NOTHING besides Resolume is open that would show a window in your taskbar.
-Make the Resolume UI fullscreen.
-Use the minimize button in the top right corner.
-Left-click on the desktop.

Outcome:
Your white image on the output should flicker twice: first when minimizing Resolume, and second when clicking on the desktop.

The flickering never occurs if another window, such as Windows Explorer, is open on the desktop behind Resolume.

Can anyone else replicate this?

Best regards,

Hmm, I think what's going on is when you click minimize, windows will try to minimize all windows, and Resolume is then fighting to get them visible again.
Resolume outputs are just borderless windows.
