  • Have you checked for system updates?: No - but new system
  • Steam Logs: I have created them, but I am not willing to upload publicly - is there a direct upload portal?

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

On the steam store page for 4D golf, I tried to full screen the video and it locked up my screen and started strobing.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, I can only guess how many words a video is (WARNING: FLASHING LIGHTS):

  • This occurs on both my monitors
  • It's worth noting that I appear to be suffering from #9209 as well

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Fullscreen the trailer video on any game's store page
