hyprland flickering after updating to the most recent version

[thick bluff]

Title is as it is I have a AMD RX6600XT at 144hz. The flickering is mainly on the top of my screen.

better to raise a discussion in hyprland repo or why not search there

[oak grove]

I have the same issue but on 165Hz. Please tell me if you found any solution.

for now the only thing I could do is lower from 165Hz to 144Hz

But I'm not using hyperland, I'm using kde

Funny thing is that it works flawlessly on windows

[thick bluff]

I did search there and didn’t find anything

[thick bluff]

I didn’t find one so i just straight up moved to riverwm and it went away. Although if its also on kde it could be either some weird problem with the drivers or some a backend they both use

[oak grove]

Not sure if our problems are the same. For me it's only the upper half of the screen, and it flickers when you scroll or alt tab

[thick bluff]

I said at the top it was only on the upper half of my screen lol

[oak grove]

okay, I didn't read it :/

[thick bluff]

Also it only flickers for me in situations like that as well although maybe a few more things like opening a browser

I haven’t tried alt tabbing

[oak grove]

It's probably kde fault, when I'm using dwm this problem goes away

[thick bluff]

Is your kde on wayland or x11?

[oak grove]

x11

I haven't tired wayland, maybe I should

[thick bluff]

I think it’s probably some rendering backend then that they both use which seems the most likely

[oak grove]

and I'm on fresh arch, literally installed today

[oak grove]

probably

[thick bluff]

Im also on arch i installed like a week or 2 ago moving from gentoo lol

[oak grove]

I installed few months ago, but it was so buggy (move from kde5 to 6 was completly broken) that I decided to just copy home folder and install fresh

[thick bluff]

I assumed kde was pretty stable but big version changes tend to do stuff like that lol

[oak grove]

yup. But I haven't seen anything as stable as dwm

[thick bluff]

Dwm is only like a couple thousand lines of code so its pretty difficult to screw up lol

[oak grove]

anyway, I think I'm just gonna go back to dwm, and maybe check of kde in few weeks, hopefully they can fix it.

If I find any fix, I will ping you

[thick bluff]

Yeah i think im just gonna stay on river as well lol since i like a lot of things about it although it will take a while to learn it

[thick bluff]

@oak grove I haven’t tested it but someone mentioned that for whatever reason downgrading a the kernel will fix it

[oak grove]

okay, thanks, if you have more information, please share
