    Every single time I load into a train simulator drive scenario whether it be quick drive or career, my screen starts flickering in every which way, making the game unplayable. I have already tried turning on vysnc and it still does it. Does anyone know how to fix it?

    does it do this in full screen, borderless or windowed mode? Have you tried different resolutions? Does it only do this in TSx, or other programs?

    It only does it when I am in full screen, and no, it does not do it in other programs and games. I have not tried doing different resolutions as I do not know which will be good for my computer. What resolution do you think I should be using, since I think that is the issue.

    This sounds like the problem I had with TS on a laptop which started seemingly out of the blue a couple of years ago. I found that setting it to run in a borderless full-screen window fixed things. No idea why or why it started in the first place- I don't recall any updates.

    FWIW.

    The best resolution for TS20XX is the windows 10 recommended/default/native resolution.
    One fix for your issue:
    Rebuild graphics settings via The playerprofiles.bin file
    Fix for when you think that you have corrupted your Monitor Resolution Settings or Have different resolution settings in MS Windows NATIVE/default/recommended resolution settings to those in TS 2020.
    LCD/LED Monitors work best at their NATIVE resolution.
    Find yours from the manufacturer of your monitor. https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/14216/windows-7-getting-best-display-on-your-monitor
    Close TS and Steam and navigate to
    \STEAM\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Content and delete/rename the playerprofiles.bin file.
    Restart Steam and then TS 2020 allowing the latter to rebuild the graphics/monitor settings file.
    If this works and TS 2020 opens, then reset your graphics/monitor settings within TS 2020.
    Keep the resolution in TS2020 the same as the default windows setting.
    NB: Verifying the Integrity of Game files will not FIX this.
