Description
  • This bug causes the screen to flicker randomly, even in simple, blank third person project templates. Even the basic starter content, the main editor area is blinking all the time if the user chooses Metal API on Macbook Pro.

However if the user forces XCode use opengl to build UE4.15, everything is fine except the warning of deprecation of OpenGL on Mac.

The following link shows the effect: [Link Removed]
