All have you OLED TV as me , perhaps is only on OLED this problem ?
TV is not the problem, its the game issue again.
I use a Sony LCD tv with VRR enabled and haven't experienced screen tearing this much before in this game or any game I ever played on PS5. It's really bad. I hope this can be fixed in the patch next year. The amount of missing features that were announced in the patch notes and the introduction of new bugs doesn't make the future developments look bright.
On a positive note, with this game I was introduced on rally racing. After getting tired of F1, this still has me hooked. I hope we don't need to wait till WRC 2024 till we can experience the full potential this awesome game has to offer.
- @Gozahr Didn’t have any tearing except in replays when i first played after installing patch. But noticing it more on aphalt. Use same Sony TV type. When playing fast paced games. I noticed when back when F1 21 released. I got some screen tearing at start of races during heavy rain. So as I like to tinker with settings. Turning off HDR tone mapping, auto local dimming, peak luminance. In brightness settings and then reality creation and smooth gradation In clarity settings cleared it up completely and kept FPS at 120. Can’t be sure it will currently help in this game. As I havnt changed the settings since 2021. But worth a try. Also watched a TV guru YouTube video where he suggested. Go increase tv performance and reduce any latency issues when gaming. Go to TV settings- system-About. Scroll down to Android TV OS build. Tap select 10 times on remote control. Unlocks the TV developer options. Go back to system menu. Go to developer options. Then scroll all the way down to background process limit. Default is set to standard. But you can choose max amount. When gaming I turn them off. Have no idea what the processes are but hasn’t had any negative effects. But at the same time if it does increase performance it’s not anything major
First year I’ve given up on F1 so early in the year, WRC is perfect optimised in comparison 😂. Actually really enjoying this game for most part@ScarDuck14 Thanks for your elaboration on game and tv settings. I also like to tinker with settings, but didn't know that I could enter developer mode on my TV. I will sure give this a try today. Camera shake and motion blur are some settings I disable first in any fast paced game. I have doubt the developer tv settings wil have a huge impact. This is not something the average user needs to do to get a smooth gaming experience.
Before patch 1.4 the game showed minimal stuttering (besides the panning around the car at the start and after finishing the stage, but that got fixed with the patch) and I didn't notice screen tearing. Now with patch 1.4 there is screen tearing everywhere in any location while racing and in replays.
I don't agree that this game in its current state is better optimised than F1 23. What I can agree with is that this game is trying to deliver a better racing experience with higher frame rates compared to F1. When I first enabled VRR I noticed how it turned F1 23 in a low fps slideshow, most noticeable in replays. This game was smooth before the patch. I know the PS5 has his limitations, but imo the game is trying to hard to look nice and also delivering high fps at the same time. For instance, the quite noticeable dynamic reflections from dashboard instruments on my windscreen during daytime. I personally don't need to see that.
As I said, gameplay was smooth before the patch. This made me look past the AI issues as i expect they will be fixed eventually. Now the visual experience is also bad.
So, that was quite a lot of text from me. I'm an old guy, 47, wich did league racing with PC mods for F1 Challenge '99-'22. Those were my days of peak performance 😉 Several years ago I bought a PS4 and started racing again. It was a on off experience wit F1 titles. But now I discovered rally racing on a PS5. With this game and feel the pleasure in racing again from the good old days. I even bought a new sim rig, have 2 TSS handbrake mod+ and am eagerly waiting for the sim hub to arrive. I really like this game to be as good as possible.
