NOTE: This is caused by ticking a setting that I forgot about a long time ago.

Lobby flashes on update. more information in the discord chain: https://discord.com/channels/278805140708786177/911790552687730689/1356755573793882483

I believe there is a problem with zk chobby menu with the latest BAR engine. This might be an AMD specific bug, I do not know for sure how widespread this is, and I would assume if this was a problem in BAR you would have heard of it by now. There can be intense flashing in tooltips and chat (video shows chat) when typing, that is probably epileptic inducing. A proposed solution, which seems to work, is in zkchobby unticking the setting Settings/Lobby/Minimize lobby updates, and from a quick check this seems to work on my machine.

We have the setting "Minimize lobby updates" situated at this file: https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Chobby/blob/master/LuaMenu/widgets/api_limit_fps.lua
BAR has the setting "Settings/Lobby/Fix lobby flickering" situated at this file: https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/BYAR-Chobby/blob/master/LuaMenu/widgets/gfx_limit_idle_fps.lua

By activating the Zero-k setting, the problem seems to resolve.

Note: BAR has the zero-k widget, but it appears that it's deprecated/unused in favor of the newer, more encompassing and complicated unified frame time code.

suggestion: hide this setting from me.
