Lag and screen-tearing on a high-end PC.

[thebugmancometh]

...err...high-ish, at any rate. I can't be bothered to give specs, because I'm really not PC-literate, but damn if it doesn't run stuff like Skyrim, The Talos Principle, and other such graphic-intense games on ultra settings without a hitch.

Yet, Geometry Dash gums it up somehow. I've tried every variation of fullscreen and windowed, V-synch and Smooth-running. I've even turned the textures down to their lowest setting.

The best I've managed is to have it in windowed mode (which I hate, because...well...-windowed-!)

It plays smoothly about 60% of the time, but then it will start to jitter a bit, which, as much as I hate to admit it, doesn't make me any worse at the game than I already am, but it sure it annoying.

Changing the options doesn't seem to fix anything, and in fullscreen with Vsynch and Smoothing on, the screen tears badly.

I'm really puzzled as to why it's performing so badly on my PC, so links to other threads describing this, or explanations / fixes / etc. would be welcome.

I'd prefer to play this in fullscreen, but the way the screen splits horizontally, I just can't. It's too distracting.

This worked on my windows 11 laptop. Right click on geometry dash, click on properties go to local files and hit browse, right click on geometry dash and click on properties, go to compatibility and choose windows vista service pack 2

it worked for me on amd processor and graphics (ryzen 7 5700X and radeon rx 6500XT), thank you very much

another amd specific solution is going to amd software > gaming > geometry dash (I wouldn't recommend this in global settings) and under graphics select wait for vertical refresh always on, the only setback is capped framerate at vsync

Simple
FPS bypass the game, its the only way.

Believe me or not, Vsync in GD makes the game perform worse, you would think "yeah 144fps equal with 144hz is fine". No, it just doesn't work like that, I have been getting eyes tiring with this screen tearing since forever, even go on google for several hours, found out a solution by using Borderless Windowed (using Borderless Gaming), but it just become worse and worse with input lag and tearing more noticable
until I had enough, bought mhv7 and just let the game run at 360fps

Surprisingly, it fixed the tearing issue, somehow, magically.
So I conclude my knowledge on this is that as long the FPS is at least double the amount of your refresh rate then it is likely less tearing, or never.

Geometry Dash was lagging on my computer so bad that it wasn't even playable. I fixed it by going to options->graphics->advanced (it is on the top right corner)->disable vertical sync. If the game is still laggy disable and smooth fix.

It lowers my FPS to 60, which tbh, I have been playing 144 and 240 fps way too much that 60 feels so jittery

ok this is like a really old post but here are 2 fixes that improved fps heavily for me

1. Right-Click geometry dash in steam, Click properties and in 'Launch options' type in 'fullscreen'

2. Turn off v-sync (and enable smooth fix if u want to) and if ur like me and have a 144hz monitor, just turn on a FPS and TPS bypass with some sort of hack

I dont have nvidia tho so i dont know if any of the nvidia fixes work lol

I put my laptop on charge, somehow battery-mode lower my fps to 30. After that, fps unlocked to 144, by "unlock fps" setting.
(I see branch creation date, but if it will help someone, I'll just live it here. Especially for 2.2 update)

Guys i had the same problem. My laptop with rtx 4060 and i5 12th gen couldnt run geometry dash on consistent 144 fps and every frame drop was slowing my game. I found out that if I enable integrated graphics card it starts running without lags. Recommend trying it out

[luksakk]

try moving the game to your main drive, this worked for me
