Default Flashing and flickering after ICS update

Recently I have noticed that Shadowgun T3 version and Riptide (so far that I know)
These games start flickering and flashing and when i restart them they do it again. On shadowgun the first version it seems fine.
I have tried this on all three performance settings and still happens.
Any ideas XDA world?

Nvidia always!

i have the exact same issue. i got my tf201 yesterday and instantly updated to ICS, so idk if there were issues like this in HC, but it happens to most of the games in the tegrazone. ill be playing for 5 minutes or less and the screen starts flashing/flickering and the game is running in the background, but the screen is frozen.

Try and disable auto brightness, then see if you still notice the flicker.

It could just be the brightness changing in a not-too-smooth fashion, which happens if they don't dim it slow enough or with enough precision (in software).

I have noticed this as well from time to time, but it goes away if I set the brightness manually, since the system no longer automatically adjusted the brightness.

i have had a static image because i changed it as soon as i got it and i had disabled auto brightness because i wanted it lower in order to preserve battery life, but the flickering lights with frozen image still happens.

Haven't had any issues for awhile but haven't had time to really play with it either.

Seems that reseting to factory reset worked. I reinstalled all and all seems fine
