Anyone getting screen tearing?
So my specs are the following:
I7 4790K @ 4.4GHz (w/ 2x TX3 EVO)
ASUS STRIX 970
8 GB DDR3 RAM
Crucial BX200 - 480 GB SSD
Seagate 1TB 7200rpm

Benq XL2411Z (144 Hz)
Samsung 24 Inch (60Hz)
Razer Deathadder
Logitech G105
Logitech G633


I am running the game on my 144hz monitor, but the game is capped at 60fps, but for some reason I keep having horizontal screen tearing across my screen, I can play with it but it's just kinda annoying; anyone knows a fix?

My Nvidia drivers are at 362.00

Same here - still looking for some kind of fix... game runs rock hard 60 fps but tearing is so annoing :./

Getting screen tears too. It's because the game is capped at 60, you aren't seeing the benefit of having higher Hz monitors. Wait for a patch or hack that unlocks framerate.

It could have been worse, it could have been capped at 30 like all the other prequels.

protip: you ALWAYS have screen tearing, regardless of frame rate, if you dont have vsynch enabled.

Zenek check the nvidia settings - if you have vsync set to adaptive change it to just on - it helped in my case - and switches tearing off completly - just have to check for input lag ...

What driver are you using because i have tried with on and adaptive on a 120htz monitor and 60htz tv with constant tearing

I don't get any tearing at all. I have a 144hz screen with g-sync which is magical (ROG SWIFT PG278Q)

Turn off vsync in game and turn it on in your driver control panel

and where do You have vsync control in game?? I did not see the settings.
I have just turned normal vsync off cos of the input lag.. it's unplayable.
Colonel_basic yhe adaptive does not work for this game (or not completly) - i switched vsync just on and shuttering stoped (there are 4 options there off, on , adaptive and adaptive half frames). But as i said its unplayable with vsync :/

I'm sorry, why would you even link your mouse?

Sorry, that's my boilerplate response for tearing tearing issues. If there isn't an option in-game, you may have to edit the .ini file to see if vsync is on by default. I force vsync in my drivers, but I get issues when I have vsync running in-game, and forced by deivers, so I usually leave it off.

Ive tried every combination to no avail

Well ... somehow i did it.
There is no option in game and nor in config file. BUT. When i set in nvidia driver "aplication control" over vsync the game runs ok with no tearing and there is no input lag... no last option was to set the game to controll the vsync and it has this option on by default. But thaks Mr_Slippyfists - your point directed me to sollution :") Cheers - hope this will help someone. Praise the sun ^o^
