Anyone uses vsync on?

I don't know what vsync is? I know this isn't helping, but I am just curious what it is.

It helps you keep your frame rate at 60fps. Which means the game runs a lot smoother.

I have mine on, and my puddles look normal. I would check your graphics levels, sometimes when my videocard updates it resets all of my graphics settings to the lowest settings.

I would say that (hopefully) most players with cards over a certain strength level are using vsync. Or at least trying to. Uncapped fps rates will cause graphics glitches, screen tears, lag, crashes, and can ultimately burn out the GPU.

@GreyWind - what's puzzling me is that another (brilliant, by the way) player on MTS got to your thread over there before I did and noted that your graphics card is not recognized by the game and we can see that you are getting the dreaded 32 MB texture memory override when it's really not necessary. He linked you to instructions on how to address both of those things and asked if that helps. Have you tried what he suggested yet or did you need some assistance in doing so?

@igazor I forgot to check MTS so I will try this suggestion. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. Also, something I did not mention. I'm running a Windows 10 Insider build and it's on the skip ahead ring which supposed to be very buggy but in reality it's been pretty stable. Perhaps that could be a contributing factor. Will try the MTS suggestion and if that doesn't work, I will downgrade to the retail ring.

Yeah, I would be concerned about Windows versions getting ahead of your graphics drivers but that is certainly a factor to consider while trying different solutions.

Sorry I never got around to your PM. I've been binge watching stuff on Hulu. :#

If you need help getting your card recognized, I can help too or igazor. I doubt this would make a difference but did you try Nvidia Control Panel before Inspector and did that cap framerate without this graphical issue? Or did you only manage to get v-sync working with Inspector?

@igazor Yep tried getting my card recognized and it worked but the rain issue still there. Gonna dowgrade now to a stable build of Windows 10 and see if it doesn't happen there.

@SimplyJen Np :) I did tried both, via inspector and the nvidia control panel. Both had the same outcome sadly. My last option is to go back to a normal build of Windows 10.

@igazor Sad to report that I downgraded to Windows 7 just to test and

This all still seems pretty unusual to me for an otherwise capable GPU. What kind of setting are you using for Water and Mirrors? Are the other graphics related settings in Game Options on medium or higher for the most part?

If it's not any of that, I wonder if maybe @SimplyJen here or Nitromon back on MTS might have some suggestions for GPU settings outside of the game, in the Control Panel or Inspector, that might help. I'm on an AMD card and have a very different toolset so can only guess as to how to proceed on Nvidia.
