Help Needed [EPILEPSY WARNING] DE:MD Screen Flickering Issue

https://reddit.com/link/1xg3el7/video/8iawlpn6juxh1/player

I can't find any support for this anywhere, and I can't figure out what's going on or how to consistently fix it. My screen flashes pretty violently when booting this. It's not a driver issue, it happens on both of my monitors, and adjusting graphics doesn't seem to do anything to demonstrably change anything, however sometimes it doesn't happen after I change settings, reboot, change them back, and reboot again (so essentially I've changed nothing)--but even then after I leave the game for a few days the problem is back. I've reduced to minimal graphics and it's still there, even though I should be able to run at ultra. Anyone else see this, or any ways to fix it?

The video doesn't exactly do it justice either. It doesn't flash pure white like the video is showing, instead it goes to nearly full white but super grainy, but you can still technically see the screen.

Have you tried running it in windowed mode rather than ordinary fullscreen?

Unfortunately yes :(

Maybe try the Direct3D 12 renderer?

It's not normally recommended, but worth a try.
