Wierd lines in middle of screen playing sleeping dogs on GTX 970 windows 10

[76561198132827599]

I have a huge bug making it unplayable! It looks just like major screen tearing! And this happens no matter what settings I use! And yes V-Sync is on! I have tried the FPS limter on every setting! I have tried locking on V-Sync in Nvidia control panel! I have tried adaptive V-Sync! Nothing works! It goes away if I turn off full screen! But I still get a slight tiny almost un-noticable tear. But I hate not using full screen! Anyone else having this issue? This is really annoying because I finally have a GPU powerful enough to run this game maxed out! My old R9 270 could almost do it, But I had to turn down antialaising using the HD texture pack. But my old AMD GPU never had this annoying issue! I should have bought a R9 290 instead of the dam GTX 970! Thats what I get for trading teams!

Man I almost don't want to help based on how obnoxious your writing is, but since this could help other people, here goes:

This seems to be a Windows 10 (either the driver or OS) problem since I ran the game on my GTX 970 in Win 7 without tearing problems. However, in Win 10 I too experience tearing no matter whether I force vsync in the game or through the nVidia control panel.

There are two working solutions I've found:
• Run the game as a borderless window using the Borderless Gaming tool (http://westechsolutions.net/sites/WindowedBorderlessGaming/). You will need to search yourself on how to use this tool, but it's easy. This has been a recommended solution for stuttering and other past issues with Sleeping Dogs and it still works well.

•Enable the Steam framerate counter. This sounds ridiculous as a solution, I know, but for some inexplicable reason it works. From the Steam client go Steam (top menu) -> Settings -> In-Game -> In-game FPS counter (set to whatever corner you prefer). The counter is very small and can be ignored pretty easily.

Just wanted to say that activating fps counter on steam works great for gtx980ti on windows 10 too! thx Sweetz you are awesome! Thx Ted to for bringing it up altough (qoute HPicante) "cool your jets" ;P. Ps. if the fps counter doesnt show up in the in game settings menu try it with the game switch on. weirdly it didnt show up for me until i booted up the game or i just simply didnt se it first xp. shift and tab for steam menu in game for those who dont know xp.

Problem has never been fixed! How about they patch the game instead of just having fanboys cheering.

Yeah, I just discovered this bug when I turned off the RivaTuner OSD. I turned it on and problem solved. Whew, I thought for a minute there was a problem with the PC, but I did not experience this issue with GTA V. Thanks for the tip! I turned the RivaTuner OSD back on, but also enabled the Steam fps counter. LOL

Problem is still not fixed. Having to jump through hoops is not a fix. A patch for the game is a fix. I will never buy another game from this company again! They are obviously incompetent and unworthy of anyones hard earned money!
