Specifications

Fill out the following details:

• CPU: (11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz)
• GPU: (Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics)
• GPU Driver: (31.0.101.5081)
• OS: (Windows 10)
• Version: (1.0.0)

Additional Context

Issue can be temporarily fixed by exiting and reentering fullscreen or by changing anti-aliasing settings though this is very inconsistent and usually takes multiple tries and can get worse before fixing. The issue can happen after another loading screen.

Start by reproducing the loading-screen transition on the reported Intel Iris Xe setup using the D3D12 configuration in %APPDATA%\UnleashedRecomp\config.toml, and compare it with the documented Vulkan workaround. Check whether the flashing, tinting, blur, and incorrect black levels remain consistent; done means these rendering errors no longer occur after loading screens without relying on fullscreen or anti-aliasing changes.
