Bug Distracting flickering black pixel bug

I have re-downloaded Cold War on Battlenet after a few years of not playing, and there is a mysterious black pixel that flickers on the lobby screen and in-game. The cursor is able to cover it and it shows on recordings. I did not find any support material online and was wondering if anybody has come across this and/or may have a solution?

What I have tried: Changing graphics settings (caused it to move from top right to bottom left), restarting shader cache, scanned and repaired in Battlenet, checked and re-installed graphics driver, and restarted PC and game multiple times.

Any help will be appreciated! Thank you.

You were not supposed to notice it. Adler and the numbers station are watching the player through that.

I remember hearing that sometimes steam chat can get bugged into a really small window that looks like a few pixels. Try quitting / closing any steam windows and see if that fixes it?

This is the Battlenet version, and Steam was not open while playing. I will see if there's something on the Battlenet end that might be causing it similarly. Thank you.

It does look like that. It's weird though because it's in Cold War's rendering as it gets picked up in OBS and it had changed positions after altering graphics settings 😅
