Flashing Screen 10.11 El Capitan
-
If you want to downgrade, please try version 36.5 rather than 36.0 - the link is https://justgetflux.com/mac/Flux36.5.zip - there are many bug fixes that you don't want to lose by going back to 36.0.... Please let me know how it goes.
-
@lorna Thanks for that! 36.5 seems to be working just fine in Darkroom mode.
-
For me 36.6 worked fine after upgrading to 11.11.4! (1 discrete GPU, auto backlight unavailable)
MacBook A1342 (mid-2010, "the white one") -
@stek29 Nah, stopped working after reboot
-
@stek29 Oh no, can you tell me what happened after reboot? And does 36.5 work after reboot?
-
@lorna 36.5 is ok
I'm not sure reboot is problem, 36.6 worked just after update, and in a few days I tried Darkroom -- same problem. So I just reverted to 36.5. -

My macbook is mid-2010, so it doesn't have auto-brightness feature
And this is still the same machine right?

Just to chime in I am having issues with flashing on 36.6. Autobrightness off latest 10.11.4 update. Retina Macbook Pro 13" Late 2012. Downgrading to 36.5 to see if it fixes.

@bleedblue12345 Just updating, no luck with 36.6 or 36.5. Had to uninstall.

Thanks for your post - if you want to try one more test of f.lux, a reboot may fix your trouble.

hi guys,
I've experienced same issues on my macbook pro retina late 2013. It only happened once i updated from mavericks to el capitan.
For me is only flashing white at rapid changes of light ( like 10 seconds sunlight bewteen clouds in Amsterdam :P ) . Also i've experienced flashing when switching (apple+tab) to Photoshop as i have flux disabled for white balance reasons. I'm with my auto brightness on and I didn't experience those flashes for a while. Only today i've updated my flux to last version so I'm looking forward for a fluxy time! :)Have you disabled Mac OS X's new "automatic brightness"? This interferes with f.lux's controls as the autobrightness also affects gamma (similar to color) levels.
-
@fluxydude @jpalmieri I've a desktop, and whenever I try to move away from the screen, the camera (which doubles as a luminance sensor) notices this & the screen flickers. I suspect this to be totally an issue lying in between the camera/Auto-Adjust-Brightness & Graphics drivers in El Capitan.
-
despite claims here, this issue is not resolved. Still experiencing it here on OS X 10.11.4, with the typical symptom mentioned above--flashing on drastic light change, like when waking up from sleep.
-
@ariellangleyCB9 this sounds like you have autobrightness on maybe? As we have posted, there is no fix with autobrightness on yet.
-
Is the fix in development yet? Loving the app, but hate having to choose between auto brightness and f.lux - things that should really go hand in hand!
-
I only seem to be having issues when 'Preview' is in focus and open. This is with autobrightness off. F.Lux just seems to shut off in such cases.
-
This post is deleted! -
For whatever it is worth, it only flickers for me when Preview is opened.
OSX 10.11.5 Macbook Pro Retina 13" 2012. Autobrightness off.
-
@bleedblue12345 Still no fix for this with the new beta.
-
@bleedblue12345 try the "ambientfix" pref and see if it helps.
