Is anybody else experiencing screen flickering when starting GW2 since the recent updates? I have tried changing my display and also re-installed the game with the new graphic card drivers and the screen still flickers when starting up the game or changing maps? I am not 100% sure but this might have damaged one of my displays and have caused constant black flickering on one of them.

A piece of software cannot damage hardware….

Please describe the “flickering” better (when it starts, ends and exactly what you mean by flickering….the whole screen goes on and off, etc.).

Does this flickering persist after the instance loads? (and if not, how is this an actual issue?).

It is better explained here a and with some help from the redditors I was able to get rid of the problem by starting in windows mode:
