    I've had Display Flicker on for 5 years... just on the Laptop Alone... I started with MacBook Air then MacBook Pro 2015, now 2023 MacBook Pro M2....and the Display Flickers 3 times every time I select a track...or a Cell to write a comment or anything to do with the editing track information.... 3 flickers every time I click on the screen... I have to wait till the third flicker to select another track...or cell or hit enter....!

    I see people posting this with respect to different hardware configurations... But I mostly do file management on the Laptop alone and the Display Flicker is making me loose my mind.... does anyone else have this just on the Laptop alone?

    I've had display flicker since I started using Traktor 5 years ago... First on a MacBook Air...then a MacBook Pro and now on a M2 Pro...

    Every time I click a row to edit a track comment or color it flickers 3 times and I have to wait till it stops so I can make another selection...

    I know people have been posting flicker in terms of connected to hardware...but I get the flicker when doing file management just on the laptop alone...anyone else in this boat?

    I've read the comments about the flicker in terms of when it's connected to certain hardware...

    But I get the flicker when using Traktor just on the computer...

    I do a lot of file management with the computer alone and I get 3 flickers every time i make a selection and I have to wait until it stops before I make another selection...

    Anyone else in this boat?

    Yes, commonly known as "browser flicker"

    It's an old bug, widespread, annoying and unrelated to this one. But we do have quite a few threads on this. NI said they have been working on it over a year ago. It's on the roadmap. But .. yeah. Nothing to show yet.

    What's wrong with you? You can also write your message 10 times. That won't make it any better.

    @Sacco Naz

    Display flicker in Traktor affects mainly weak computers with slow discs. And also users with lots of tracks.

    I would not call it bug, it is more feature/inconveince than a bug.

    I personally do not have flicker behaviour and I have weak computer, but only few thousands of tracks. And couple of my friends no problem as well. And they have 30k+ tracks.

    It doesn't really matter what you would call it. Your constant negation of this problem is just annoying and various users have already explained to you several times why it can definitely be treated as a bug. Stop spreading false facts. It sucks!

    OK, it does not flicker for me and several of my friends. Actually I do not know in person anybody who has that flicker. I know in person about 10 people using Traktor. No flickering problem.

    That is the true fact.

    I understand that there are also people that do have flickering. They must have either very big library, or insuficient HW, or some other problem with their system.

    And yes, NI could do it better. Probably.

    Same here and yes it applies to big library of tracks (not the hardware). That in not related to this thread though - this is about controller screen flickering which is making use of the screen impossible to work with.

    Right, this computer screen "flickering" is offtopic for this thread.....

    I have not tested myself, but the flickering of displays on many NI HW should be fixed in last TP version. The problem has affected users using AMD graphic "card", the both dedicated or internal (included on CPU circuitry).

    Some still have controller screen flickering on (D2 and S8) and some have GUI freeze issues. (AMD GPU related as well)

    I think that's what it is... I have a huge library... I think it just can't handle tens of thousands of tracks
