Getting severe screen tearing issues

[3POINT1FOUR]

My game is practically unplayable due to extreme screen tearing. I've tried multiple resolutions and forcing 60hz in the options but it seems to be super unstable. Anybody else ever have this issue? Fixes?

have you tried enabling "single threaded" mode or disable lighting? It''s seems a lot better since I checked those two check boxes.

Enabling vertical refresh in CCC fixed it for me for Amd card.

I'm on an AMD card too. I had some crazy screen problems worse than tearing. There were horizontal strips of what seemed to be parts of the framebuffer drawn randomly and flickering on the screen most of the time. It was really annoying and unplayable.

Saw this thread, and fixed that problem by having the following settings:

Launch Options:
force 60fps
single threaded mode

AMD Catalyst Control Center:
Wait for Vertical Refresh : Always On. <--- make sure to click SAVE on that Tab. Catalyst doesn't apply your settings until you click Save.



Originally, the problem persisted regardless of whether I was at 1280x720 or 1920x1080, as long as I was at fullscreen. But the problem wasn't there when I was at 1280x720 in windowed mode, but was there at 1920x1080 windowed mode. I assume it had something to do with full screen not being capped at 60 (despite the settings as OP mentioned) and the engine incorrectly blitting things on screen that were meant for an invisible render pass. I tried getting screenshots through Steam but all the shots came out clean.
