Police lights causes rapid screen dimming and brightening

[gotchadownunder 9]

Bit of an odd issue that I've had a while that only occurs whilst playing GTA.

 

Essentially when I activate the red and blue lights and either colour lights up this will cause the screen to dim...once lights are off the screen brightens. Where the issue is, is that because the lights flash alternatively there is a brief moment where the screen brightens before it dims...this essentially causes a strobe effect...quite annoying really.

The brighter the light bar/closer I get to the light bar the more noticeable the alternate dimming is. 

No other games have same problem, nor does watching flashing lights on a video (YouTube for example).

 

Has anyone experienced the same problem? 

Does anyone know a fix?

 

Monitor: Philips BDM3201FD/75 31.5" (all drivers up to date)

Graphics mods used: Visual V (unsure if same issue is experienced if this is not installed)

 

As a result of this issue I am basically restricted to playing LSPDFR during day setting only. Night time is just ridiculous.

Any suggestions welcomed.

 

Thanks

I've heard of an issue when at night time, if the weather was thunder and a bolt jolted in the sky, The game would light up all over but not due to the lightning. 
This was because the graphical mods were installed incorrectly.

So either uninstall VisualV or install it or a different mod.

You could also upload a video for us to see what it looks like exactly. But I'm pretty sure its your graphical mod.

I'm going to try uninstalling VisualV soon but in the meantime here's a video of what is happening.

Thanks for the help so far.

Yes that's the issue I was talking about, its from a graphical mod. Try to install Natural Vision Remastered.
