Flashing Screen 10.11 El Capitan
-
If you are getting flashing on any system, you should first update to the most recent version of f.lux. Next, turn off auto brightness in system preferences. A reboot is a good idea.
-
I just want to chime in that I am on OSX 10.11.4 on a Mid 2012 Retina. I was getting flashing every second in Darkroom mode with auto brightness on or off, in a room with almost zero ambient light (baby sleeping) on Flux version 36.6.
Downgrading to Flux 36.0 as suggested above has resolved my issue for now.
I'm a programmer, and I'm happy to run nightlies, bisect code, install and uninstall things if you guys need help reproducing and figuring this out.

@meckanical Where did you download it? Could you give me a link?
-
@stek29 it's the link that @fluxydude added above: https://justgetflux.com/mac/Flux36.0.zip
-
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.
