Screen keep on flashing, unable to play

Hi, I downloaded this game. When I start the app, the game keeps on flashing non-stop and eventually turns fully black. I guess I still able to interact with the UI (I heard some feedback sound when I randomly click on the screen), but it's annoying because I can't proceed further as I can't see what's on the screen. For your information, I have tried reinstall, clear game cache and data or reboot the phone but the problem persists.

My phone is Redmi Note 8 pro with os MIUI. After some search on the internet I noticed people discussed about this issue but don't have any solution yet. Some believe it's related to the os problem.

I hope someone or devs can check on this issue. And sorry for bad English, I'm not a native English speaker.

    Apparently, someone manage to find a solution. I'm going to share it here.

    We need to update our OS (assuming you are at MIUI 12.0.5). If there is no update, try switch your phone region to somewhere else, for example, Poland. You should have an update available (to MIUI 12.0.6). After completing this update, update once again to MIUI 12.5.7, our Android version will be updated to Android 11.

    Now your game should be running with any issue. I tried it and it works so far.

    PS: you can switch your phone back to your original region once you are done with the updates.

    Unfortunately, no one has the solution yet. It's not just Redmi Note 8 pro. Apparently, some said Xiaomi, Google Pixel and Samsung phones are having the same issue. I guess all of us need to report this issue to official so they will notice and solve this issue.

    I have a G90 Pro Blue that running Android 10 and am having the same issue. Nothing seems to be working for me. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, cleared cache, force stopped, mocked locations to force an update, changed regions, changed fps from 60 to 30 and visa versa. I've tried a number of things and have had no changes as of yet…. :(
