How to fix screen tearing?

[Eminent Demon]

I get a giant line going from top left corner to bottom right corner, vsync on or off does not fix it, i only have this issue with half life games such as half life 1, day of defeat, and counter strike 1.6. So far have been looking for a fix for a long time, but have found none, if anyone knows a fix please comment below, thank you.

make a userconfig.cfg with note pad and change the .txt to cfg when you save it

here are all of the texture mode varible you can try

Texture Mode
Nearest neighbor interpolation for bilinear hardware
gl_texturemode "GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST"

Linear interpolation for bilinear hardware.
gl_texturemode "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST"

Nearest neighbor interpolation for trilinear hardware.
gl_texturemode "GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR"

Linear interpolation for trilinear hardware.
gl_texturemode "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR"

Here is a thread for early this year .

it does not turn into a cfg file though

[Eminent Demon]

okay so i copied one of them at a time and launched the game with a different one each time, ex i pasted gl_texturemode "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR"
into the text document but none of them did anything

just type fps_override 1
and then higher your fps using fps_max (value)

[Blyte]

Increaseing the frame rate will not correct tearing. V-sync will lock fps to 60. If that is the max refreash rate of your monitor. Tearing will happen when the graphics rendering rate ia higher than 60. (monitor can't reproduce all the rendered frames fast enough) This is not the case if you have a monitor that does 120 fps refreash rate. Most flat screen monitors now only have a 60 fps refreash rate

I'm not an expert but the problem might be in your GPU and that you are using analogic connectors for the monitor. Try to use auto-adjust in your monitor.

v_sync does not fix??Is it enable on your Graphic panel?
by default you don´t have userconfig.cfg, that´s the file you can create for custom configs
config.cfg is the default config file
Strange how you have screen tearing, with what resolution and freq you play the game?
Normally screen tearing appears when you play with high frequency (refresh rate) or when you have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ graphic card :D
Please specs

This is not a "screen tearing" issue.

First off, no offense to my man Blyte or anyone else, but screen tearing happens at any and all refresh/frame rates when you're not using Vsync, not just when your frames exceed your monitor's refresh rate. (assuming a non-Freesync/Gsync monitor, of course)

Second, that's an irrelevant fact anyways, because diagonal tearing from corner to corner is not a screen tearing issue that can be remedied via Vsync/frame limiting. That is a hardware/driver issue that has nothing to do with the game itself or Vsync whatsoever. The screenshot OP posted is even culled from a NVidia thread discussing that very fact.

I'm not going to pretend to know the end-all solution to this problem, but it seems to be mostly related to mobile NVidia cards, and a quick Google seach of "NVidia diagonal screen tearing fix" should give you a pretty good idea of where to begin to remedy this issue.

[hit my pants]

have you tried to change to the maximun in game resolution and click on panaromic screen?

[hit my pants]

see if that works

[Eminent Demon]

i am playing at maximum resoulution, how would i change to panaromic screen?

Finding people that actually know anything about Vsync is so rare.. you're a legend to me now.
