Hey Peeps... Today I got seriously pissed at the screen tearing whilst playing NMS & promptly rage quit the game... Whilst sat glaring at my Steam UI I thought to myself "why the F*ck can they not fix this?"... Then I considered the usual triple buffer fix for this kind of issue (crimson gaming control panel) & how it does not seem to work in this instance... I then decided it's not working, turn it off, so I did... Booted back into 'No Mans Sky', HOLY SH*T !!! Screen tearing is fixed !!! Quickly ran through every possible setting variation I could think of (Vsync tested on/off through every setting) & regardless of Vsync setting, there was & there is STILL NO SCREEN TEARING !!! :banana: I am currently running at 4K vsr with all settings maxed except Aliasing which is set at FXAA... Getting around 45 -62 fps depending on location & activity... This disabling of Triple Buffering in Crimson control panel has made an unplayable game (aesthetically at least) extremely pleasant on the eye now but I need others to try this & corroborate the fix so we can get it out to the NMS community globally... No wonder the Devs are having an issue fixing this ! The issue is with AMD Crimson NMS ready driver ffs!!! Awaiting feedback by other NMS players running AMD crimson... Peace Peeps :thumbup:
If you force Vsync through the Crimson control panel, it works. Triple Buffering works too, but you have to combine it with vsync otherwise you still get tearing. The only non-enforceable thing is Antialiasing. The driver is actually fine, considering what a bad port the game is.
Hi @PR, Just double checked my Crimson settings... Global :Vsync off (not forced), triple buffer OGL off, Anti Alias set to game choice... No NMS profile set... In game Vsync off, Alias set to FXAA, everything else maxed... Game settings XML also corresponds to in-game settings correctly... Screen tearing occurs for me with any setting that includes triple buffering on... Turn that one setting off, issue solved without touching anything else, so I still think the issue is with the driver as opposed to the game... I do however respect what you say as I do have limited experience with nailing AMD driver bugs... Peace bro :thumbup:
Are you running the game in Borderless? Which version of Windows? With the settings you say and in Fullscreen mode the game should tear. It's interesting actually.
For me, default profile did nothing in crimson panel. I had to create new profile manually pointing it directly to NMS.exe and only then all changes started working as intended. I have successfully forced v-sync, triple buffering and anisotropic filtering.
Hey @Pr, I am running latest Win10 x64 (anniversary fully updated). Game is running full screen... If I try & capture my in-game settings screen, the game minimizes so the settings are listed below... Crimson CP settings (no NMS profile set)... Crimson CP Image : http://imgur.com/ELZ4a5X In Game settings... ----------------------- Window Mode : FullScreen monitor : Primary Resolution : 2560x1440 (4k vsr is too jittery) V-sync : Off Anti-Aliasing : FXAA FOV on foot : 75 FOV in ship : 75 Gamma : 128 Annisotropic : x16 Texture : High Shadow : Ultra Generation : High Reflect : High HUD : On Max FPS : Max Tested again 5 minutes ago, still running flawelessly... So, a penny for your thoughts on this dude :3eyes:
Yes, I should have mentioned that. I'm using a profile on Crimson for the game, I'm not sure it works with the global one. I'm using a profile for NMS.exe in Crimson, I should mention that. Our settings apart from that are identical. If the game runs well for you don't touch the settings. I would only recommend to you to lower the shadows. From Ultra to High the differences are minimal but the performance cost is not.
@Pr, thanx for the shadow advice... Gained me 11fps would you believe :banana: Game has now grown from 'Complete Failure' into a smooth running, great looking game... Now we just wait for content updates, only then will we be truly 'Cooking with gas' hehehe... Always feels good when the 'Guru Crew' nail some gaming issues, for real... Peace bro :thumbup:
