Hey there, so I've been having an issue with the game lately where I will be playing smoothly for roughly an hour, and then I'll start noticing occasional black screen flickering for maybe less than half a second at a time, at random intervals. It seems to get more frequent the longer I play, as well... Seems very similar to a kind of memory leak issue, but I'm not sure.

This is the only game this happens to me in. However, I have tested extended play sessions with RTX on, and while I do get much less performance even with low settings on RTX, it seems to completely remove the black screen flicker I would be experiencing with it off.

The issue is though, I don't particularly enjoy how the game looks with RTX on, I think the game looks stunning already without it, and to me RTX introduces a lot of weird graphical issues that look worse to me than regular lighting and reflections. Then of course there's the performance hit, even when I turn on Frame gen, I don't have the best specs so I'm not getting anything spectacular from RTX.

So, I can play without RTX for about an hour and then eventually needing to restart the game, because restarting does seem to fix the issue temporarily. Or, I can play with RTX and have an uninterrupted session, but with a very stuttery and laggy experience.

I'm on an RTX 2060 SUPER, with a Ryzen 5 3600, 32 GB DDR4 RAM. I know I'm not on the most up to date specs, but without RTX the game runs at a consistent 80+ FPS for me with a combination of Medium/High/Ultra settings.

Has anyone else experienced similar? And are there any known fixes or something? Mods to patch it? I dunno. It's a really perplexing issue and it isn't too bad, but it does get annoying from time to time.

All the other robes get a cool flared collar or shoulder deco :(

As a Hufflepuff I am saddened, but the overall design is still NICE... It just doesn't feel as "fancy" as the others do. The colours at least match the other Hufflepuff clothing pretty well, I'll give it that.

One could be said Hufflepuff isn't about showing off, and it's fitting which, I could agree with...

But... I dunno. I wanted a neat flared collar or a hood or something. Feelsbad...

Edit: Wow, I didn't realize there was quite a few people who preferred the look of the Hufflepuff robes! I don't think they're bad or anything, I was just surprised with how simple they were compared to the other houses. But honestly I think the more I look at it, the more I enjoy its simplicity.
