Some users have reported their Moobot Assistant application flickering.

Please try the following steps to resolve this:

1. Close Discord if it is running, or disable its in-game overlay feature, which can cause flickering in Electron-based applications like Moobot Assistant.
2. Run Moobot Assistant with the «--disable-gpu» command-line argument to disable hardware acceleration. You can do this by creating a shortcut to the application, then adding «--disable-gpu» to the end of the «Target» path in the shortcut's properties. Create a separate shortcut, as the default one may be overwritten when the application updates.
