Devs, please Vsync!

[ForestDragon]

Please add Vsync option!

maybe you can just set your monitor to 60hz in the windows display properties.

It's already 60hz. but the screen tearing, I used the nvidia panel to force Vsync. It's ok now, but can't understand why cant set it in the game's options.

Not sure why vsync can't be enabled in-game (only the frame rate limiter), but there is a setting in the config file. In Documents/Neverwinter Nights/settings.tml, search for "[graphics.video.vsync]" and change the next line from "enabled = false" to "enabled = true".

Not sure why they kicked it from the menus, quiet the bummer for new gamers, also the new .tml file is an ugly mess to deal with.

should be in the menu ... after all these years.

i am not willing to grill my GPU by running this game at 300 fps

[Thornok]

also it should be enabled by default

You can set the max fps in your videocard software! (Nvidia Control panel for example)

i am on linux & radeon

you can enable vsync in settings.tml

For whatever reason, the screen tearing stops when I play it in window mode. Which I actually prefer since it makes it easier for me to keep track of the time since I can see the taskbar.

Potential alternative to any who don't want to or can't be bothered to edit the config files.

You don't have to. Game Options -> Graphics -> Frame Limiter.

the frame limiter is not exact and jerky

Both for AMD and Nvidia cards you can set vsync and max fps in their panels.

In C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Neverwinter Nights, you have a file named settings.tml, open it with notepad.

Use CTRL+F and type in "graphics.video" to jump to the below section quickly and make sure your refresh rate is correct and VSync is set to "true." In-game, make sure you are set to Exclusive full-screen (with the proper resolution and refresh rate) and definitely make sure your in-game frame limiter is disabled (it's terrible anyway).

In your NVIDIA Control Panel, make sure the VSync setting for "nwmain.exe" (Neverwinter Nights) is set to "Use the 3D application setting." You can turn on Triple Buffering (right above the VSync setting) for extra performance.

If you set everything up properly, your in-game FPS should be whatever your monitor's refresh rate is (providing your PC is strong enough to handle that amount of frames obviously). You can enable the built-in Steam FPS counter in-game by clicking Steam at the top left > Settings > In-Game > In-game FPS counter (Pick an option - I do Top-left).

[graphics.video]
anti-aliasing-mode = 1
refresh-rate = 144 (INSERT YOUR MONITOR'S REFRESH RATE - Mine's 144hz)
[graphics.video.anisotropic-filtering]
enabled = false
[graphics.video.vsync]
enabled = true

omg ty for this. I thought my computer was going to explode when I loaded in and was getting 800fps.
