Screen flickering after PCE?

So, I've been learning Neutral, and mainly been practicing on an old laptop that I have, rather than my normal PC. However, today I loaded up the Linux version of 1.001 (same as my laptop) on my PC, and for some reason, I have noticed as soon as I do the first overflow (on the box near the nice cream guy in waterfall) the screen starts to flicker. The way it flickers is regular, but only over the walking paths, so for example in the room with the scripted double moldsmal encounter, the walking path, or anything that you can walk on flickers every 5 seconds or so. I don't know whether it's just my PC, but I have tried restarting and all, and it didn't change anything, so I thought I'd report it here just to see if this is common or not.

Another side note since I'm here anyway - the game crashes after I do the triple switch PCE in the hotlands. I don't know why, but I managed to pull it off once after switching to the original PC 1.001, but never again. I don't know why, I don't understand how, and nobody else that I know has encountered this.

I'll upload videos if needed, but in the meantime any help is appreciated!

Dont hold right at any point for triple switch glitch and it shouldn't crash. The flickering happens sometimes with linux being played on pc. Usually involved screen tearing and random sprites flashing. Can avoid this by not fullscreening and not minimizing the game iirc.

Thanks. I've left it as its normal size and everything seems to be working. I'll try the triple switch PCE with your tips.
