Screen Tearing

**Left4Donut** · 10-03-2013, 09:26 PM

I always get terrible screen tearing that ruins the game for me. I don't know if it's because the game is not optimized yet or what but it needs to be fixed.

GPU: Geforce GTX 560 Ti
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500k @ 3.30GHz
Ram: 8 gigs

I have no problem playing Borderlands 2, Metro: Last Light, Skyrim, Far Cry 3, etc. on high to very high graphic settings but Amnesia likes to tear every time I move.

My graphics card should be able to handle anything that this game can throw at it but I always have the darn screen tearing.

And don't tell me about Vsync either. It doesn't work and I'm quite tired of everyone telling me about it.

You need to force vsync in nvidia control panel.

No, don't do that. Have you checked the troubleshooting guide where that exact problem is mentioned? Have you tried disabling Adaptive vSync as it says there?

Screen tearing isn't an indication of a loss of performance. In fact, having a powerful system may increase the chances for screen tearing to occur. Turning on v-sync is the only solution that can be offered. If it didn't work, then you should make sure it isn't disabled by force in the Nvidia control panel.

P.S. I've suffered screen tearing in Borderlands 2 and i have a stronger system than yours.

Yeah I looked at that first before I made the post and I tried everything but it doesn't seem to help.

My setup is pretty weak, but I still see screen tearing on my end, but I am not bothered by that.
Just in case anyone asking:
CPU = AMD Athlon II X2 250 (3GHZ dual core)
GPU = NVidia Geforce 9500GT (1GB VRAM)
RAM = 2 GB DDR3

Try v1.0.2 update. Even with it however, I did report that in some configurations vSync doesn't work either way.
