I have the exact same problem. Also problem is gone in windowed mode.
Flickering continues in game. (in fullscreen mode)

Inspired by another post where a user ctded when playing in full screen, but fixed it by moving the entire project reality folder to the desktop, i tried the same.

So far it works.

Edit:
It turns it out it was me fucking around with the anti aliasing that fixed the flickering, but it absolutely killed my fps.
So its back to windowed mode for me :(

Had the same prob and solved it in windowed mod with the "Borderless Gaming" tool.

This sounds like screen tearing, the graphics card is rendering frames faster than they can be displayed, turn V-Sync and it should fix the issue. Had the same problem and it worked for me.
