Bad screen tearing whenever I look around

    Ever since the 0.9 update I have been experiencing some really bad screen tearing whenever I look around using the number keys. I have tried reinstalling the game multiple times and deleting the folder in the documents section but am still experiencing this problem. Even with vsync on it still does this.

    What's your FPS?
    Can you record a video? (With your phone or something, a screen recorder would not show that more likely)

    Check your Graphics settings in the Graphics Control Panel of your video card

    My framerate ranges from 90 to about 124 frames at most on a map such as East Coast USA. Also, I tried setting the vertical sync to Adaptive on the NVidia control panel put the problem still persisted. Another problem I've been having is the game defaults to the incorrect resolution whenever I delete the game's folder in my documents. The game also now lists the incorrect OS too. It lists Windows 8 as my OS when I'm on Windows 10. Could the screen tearing and the messed up resolution be the fault of my monitor?

    The OS part is not much important.

    Is the game perhaps using a resolution with a non-correct refresh-rate?
    If so, have you tried to choose the correct one from Options > Graphics?

    Also, does it happen in any window mode? (Fullscreen, Borderless, Windowed?)

    WAIT A SEC, vsync caps your fps to 60 which is the refresh rate of the monitor, please check it in the ingame settings menu

    Oh, I forgot to mention that I reset the settings in the my graphics card settings once I found out that vsync didn't work. Sorry KKG. Also, I play in full screen. Also, I have reinstalled the games countless times KKG and it hasn't solved that issue once. I reset the vsync settings to "Use Application Setting" in the graphics options and I have it off in the game itself.

    Ah alright. Sorry for bothering you with my post. I just only wish the game wouldn't default to the incorrect resolution whenever I delete the folder in my documents now.

    Well, when you delete the Documents/BeamNG.Drive folder you are also removing your settings.
    That will reset them to default, you will have to re-adjust them if you do that.

    So 1680 x 1050 must be the default resolution for this game as of 0.9.0.1 correct? I remember it wasn't resetting it to that resolution during 0.8. It actually reset to 1920 X 1080 which is the actual resolution of my monitor. Also did you guys edit the orbit camera mode? It seems to me it that it acts a bit differently.

    It depends from PC to PC.
    It should use whatever 'native' resolution Windows communicates the game.

    And yeah, orbit camera had some changes.
    It should address the 'It inverts on its own' complaints :)

    Thing is, my native resolution is 1920 X 1080. However, whenever I delete my folder in the documents it defaults to 1680 X 1050 which is not the native resolution of my monitor. I have tried reinstalling the game countless times to resolve this issue with no luck. Also, orbit camera inverting on its own before 0.9? Seems interesting.

    That's odd. But it shouldn't be a much bad issue.
    I mean, just set it correctly once and it should stay.
    (Unless you delete the documents folder of course) :)

    For the camera, when reversing a vehicle mainly.
    It will now avoid some annoying behaviors that have been reported..

    I personally think the new orbit camera should be improved a little bit because whenever I press 5 on the number pad it seems to show to normal angel for a split second. It also seems to kind of do that whenever I reset my vehicle. Not a big issue but I'm just saying. Also I don't know why but the new external camera view seems to be a little bit gittery whenever the car is at a really high speed. Isn't much of a concern either since it's still a really fun camera view.
