Can you show example code?

[Identity-labs]

const position = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId(), true);
setTick(() => {
    Citizen.invokeNative(0xE10198D5.toString(16), position[0], position[1], position[2], 0); // SetDrawOrigin
    SetTextScale(0.30, 0.30);
    Citizen.invokeNative('0x50A41AD966910F03', 255, 255, 255, 215); // SetTextColour
    const str = Citizen.invokeNative('0xFA925AC00EB830B9', 10, 'LITERAL_STRING', 'Blinking text', Citizen.resultAsLong());
    SetTextCentre(true);
    Citizen.invokeNative('0xD79334A4BB99BAD1', str, 0.0, 0.0); // DisplayText
    Citizen.invokeNative('0xC9884ECADE94CB34', 'generic_textures', 'hud_menu_4a', 0.00000001, 0.0125, 0.11, 0.022, 0.1, 1, 1, 1, 190, 0); // DrawSprite
    Citizen.invokeNative(0xDD76B263.toString(16)); // ClearDrawOrigin
});

On medal video player have an RTX 3060

Me i have GTX 1070 OC and i don't have the issue

I have ask to other server owners, they have same behavior.

When you ALT Tab you see it more, some change has impacted drawing performance

[outsider31000]

I have tested in Lua and I don't have an issue with it.
tested using with invoking natives and declarations

CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        Wait(0)
        local position <const> = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId(), true)
        SetDrawOrigin(position.x, position.y, position.z, false)
        SetTextScale(0.30, 0.30);
        SetTextColor(255, 255, 255, 215)
        local str = VarString(10, 'LITERAL_STRING', 'Blinking text')
        SetTextCentre(true);
        BgDisplayText(str, 0.0, 0.0)
        DrawSprite('generic_textures', 'hud_menu_4a', 0.00000001, 0.0125, 0.11, 0.022, 0.1, 1, 1, 1, 190, false)
        ClearDrawOrigin()
    end
end)

perhaps is an issue with javascript ? or has been fixed...

can you check again @Identity-labs
also your video is not available anymore

[AvarianKnight]

I can't replicate this either (with the provided snippet, or this one)

const position = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId(), true);
setTick(() => {
    SetDrawOrigin(position[0], position[1], position[2], false)
    BgSetTextScale(0.30, 0.30);
    BgSetTextColor(255, 255, 255, 215);
    SetTextFontForCurrentCommand(1)
    const str = Citizen.invokeNative('0xFA925AC00EB830B9', 10, 'LITERAL_STRING', 'Blinking text', Citizen.resultAsLong());
    SetTextCentre(true);
    BgDisplayText(str, 0.0, 0.0);
    DrawSprite('generic_textures', 'hud_menu_4a', 0.00000001, 0.012, 0.11, 0.022, 0.1, 1, 1, 1, 190, 0);
    ClearDrawOrigin();
});

You have both good hardware ?

[outsider31000]

I have a Geforce GTX 1070 and AMD ryzen7

[Identity-labs]

This person have a GTX 1080

Draw is done in setTick with only all required drawing natives no extra calls.

Overall of server resources is 0.5ms, the server has only one resource, only necessary tick/interval are running.

On my side i have GTX 1070 OC but it's not like this person, drawing blink once every 5~10 sec.

Like i say it's becoming worst around January 9 without any change on server resource.

Hi, having the same issue with RTX 4070 Super on a resource i'm working on

I've noticed some strange behavior
Switching from day to night seems to increase the chance to flicker
Having some ptfx, or at least smoke in the fields of view seems to increase the chance to flicker
