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?

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?

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.

I've personally never seen this I don't think... My next suggestion is to do a clean driver install.

• Download the latest driver for your card + current OS from the Nvidia website.
  
• Also go ahead and download DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to completely wipe the current installed driver.
  
• Run the program in safe mode as recommended on the site
  
• Choose NVIDIA & Clean and restart
  
• Install the new driver you downloaded from the Nvidia website.

Stepping back in with a couple of more suggestions if I may.

--Perhaps try setting the fps limit in Inspector explicitly to 59 or 61 to see if that makes any difference on the screen tears?
--You are playing in full-screen mode? Many players subjected to Win 10's more recent interference (although you did note the issue on Win 7 as well so this may not be relevant) get relief by using Windowed Borderless Gaming. Might be worth adding this to the mix if you have not done so already?

Yup, I have this issue as well, and I have V-sync on.
Edit: But not nearly as noticeable as yours.
Not really sure what the cause is, but it doesn't seem to interfere with game play for me.
