Switching between 'Idle', 'Walk' and 'Run' causes blinking frames

For whatever reason my sprite tends to blink (disappear) for 1 frame while switching between different sprite sheets (Idle, Walk, Run).
I'm not sure why this is happening because the img/character folder is set to preload (as it is per default), or what I can do about it?

('Idle' sprite sheet has 3 frames while 'Walk 'and 'Run' has 6 frames each)

Just in case, here's my system specifications... if that'll explain anything:

CPU: Processor AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS (with Radeon Graphics, 3.20 GHz)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU
RAM: DDR5 16.0 GB (15.2 GB usable)
SYSTEM: 64-bit Windows 11

(It's a ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402NU)

And here's a GIF I recorded from playtesting:

Hi, do you use any other plugins? Try to turn them off one by one and see which one fixed the issue. If preload indeed turned on, blinking shouldn't happen unless there's another plugin modifying preload.

Actually, I don't have that many plugins installed yet. I'm trying to stay with your plugin suit as much as possible to avoid issues such as this. But for what it's worth, here's what I got installed and in what order:

DotMoveSystem.js
Hendrix_Action_Engine.js
Hendrix_Animation_Solution.js
Hendrix_Hotbar_Creator.js
Hendrix_Keyboard_Gamepad.js
TDDP_PixelPerfect.js

I did try to turn of Galenmereth's plugin (TDDP_PixelPerfect.js), but all that did was make my game super blurry, the blinking still occurs!
Yeah, on that topic, I don't know if this is relevant but I might as well add that my game is set to a very low retro resolution, 320x180. Maybe that has something to do with something? The resolution is set through the engine's default system2 tab.

Here's the preload folder settings:

Let's try these steps:

1. Update your RPG Maker MZ to version 1.9.1

2. Update your game version core to 1.9.0

If after those 2 steps didn't work, please send me your demo that demonstrate the issue via my direction message on Discord.

Everything is already up to date, so I'll proceed to jump into your Discord server.

And thank you really for taking your time, your support is really 10/10,
