Hello, I'm having an issue with screen flickering when flux is turned on and the PC is connected to 2 additional displays. Is there a way to fix it? Please see the driver info below. Thanks for any help!

Looks like this Windows Build is an older one (2016 or so?) and DisplayLink has added some support for gamma ramps (color controls) in the meantime, but I think it requires a slightly newer version of Windows to do it.
f.lux will try to make things work anyway using your GPU, but it is sort of our less-preferred way to run.

Thanks for the reply! So is there anything I could do now to change it?

Refer to the post here and see if this change helps:
https://forum.justgetflux.com/topic/3629/displaylinkI don't think it will do any harm but it might require a newer Windows to work properly. If it works, you will see "gamma=1" for all three monitors.

Thank you! I'll check that.

Apparently, the DP update didn't helped, still only one display has "Gamma Ramp works =1"
