macOS Screen Flicker

[Maclver]

I have a 2016 rMB and since installing macOS Sierra this has been happening shutdowns and sometimes on waking up..

Anyone else or any ideas?

Unless you want to deal with all kinds of errors:

Don't. Install. Beta. Software.

As for the distortion, probably nothing to do until Apple update the beta.

Since macOS Sierra is in the Developer Preview stage and isn't slated for public beta until July you should be seeking help and reporting-bugs in the developer portal.

If you're not a developer, your best bet will likely be to downgrade back to El Capitan until the public betas start.

(and if you pulled the install off some random torrent site, I'd recommend wiping everything and restoring from the most recent quarantined backup, then changing every banking or investing password your system had access to while running the beta...)

@deeddawg there's also AppleSeed; @maciver after you post to Apple Developer Forums, please share the link here so that others with an interest can follow the discussion. Thanks.

Report this as a bug in the Feedback Assistant, then roll back to El Capitan or wait for the next build.

@redheeler when I last checked, Apple Bug Reporter (not Feedback Assistant) was the preferred/required method for feedback from developers. https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/

@deeddawg there's also AppleSeed;

Good reminder, thanks. Doesn't that have it's own feedback/support methodology?

 

[grahamperrin]

@deeddawg yep, not mentioned at https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/help/faq but use of things such as Feedback Assistant began a few years ago. The first public mention was probably in 2011.

Seems as though you've found the portal glitch:
