Horizontal tearing effect on WE7I

[blizz81]

Background info: Raedon 8500 64mb, Windows XP SP1, just grabbed the catalyst drivers from ATI a month and a half back when I reinstalled WinXP (haven't really kept up on the ATI driver sets for a while now, but haven't had any issues in other games since)
---------------------------

After playing the PES3 demo for a while with minimal problems, I found WE7I at the store and bought it. There's some noticeable graphics anomalies that weren't present in the PES3 demo - at times, horizontal lines will appear and the polygons will tear along them, somewhat like the tearing you see when V-sync is turned off.

As the game itself is devoid of many gfx options, I tweaked my driver set to have V-sync always on in both D3D and OGL, but neither helped. This is the first change I've made to the default options set. Don't know what other options to mess with - I know there's horizontal sync config available in tweaking software like Powerstrip...should I look into that, or is there an easier answer I'm missing?

Does WE7I run in D3D or OGL?

Are there any officially-released patches that deal with vid card issues?

Sure feels nice to have WE/PES in my house, even if the graphics are a bit messed up (still runs real smooth with AA turned off, haven't tried to turn AA on yet) and the analog on my Gravis Eliminator Aftershock refusing to work correctly. Hopefully a PS2->PC adaptor will help me out there, but that's another thread. Thanks in advance!


edit: sorry for the newbie tone to some of the questions - just wanted to get this out there while I read around on the forum, etc.

Hi mate I have the same problem.
I can run PES3 perfectly in 1024x768 on high detail and the game runs smooth as a babies arse.
I`ve just installed WE7:I and even going doen to 640x480 on low detail I get graphical tearing....its madness...

If anyone has any ideas please le t me know as WE7:I feels a little faster, just like the Premiership

My system: P4 2.53Ghx, 512Mb DDR400 RAM, GeForce 3 Ti 500, 200Gb ATA133 HD.

Toying with a few things seemed to make the problem go away, but at the same time literally made the game run in slow-motion (even just bumping my res up from 1024x768x60hz to 1024x768x75hz helped, but it really slowed down the game).

I'm still hopeful for a solution since PES3 ran fine

Are u guys running with the setting V sync on or off??
It should help if you turn it on in your graphiccards settings!

Cheers!

I can try again, but enabling it for D3D and OpenGL didn't help at all the first time.

Just turn on V sync. That solves the tearing problem.

 

[blizz81]

Dunno why, but turning on V-sync again did it. Maybe the changes didn't stick the first time?

Thanks for helping - sorry for creating a thread that shouldn't have needed to be created

Yeah V-Sinc is/was the problem here. If the FPS gets above the Refresh rate then this causes the tearing effect. Annoyng ain't it?

 

[blizz81]

Yeah - I'm familiar with it somewhat, and I kind of wish there would have been an in-game option so I wouldn't have had the trouble messing around w/my vid card driver's D3D and OpenGL settings, but no worries.

I have the same problem too. I turned on v-sync and the problem was solved, but now the menu is working in a very strange way, i can't almost control the cursor, and when i press the arrow keys, i get an answer from the machine some time later.

I used to get the same effect until I got the 4.4 Cats for my 9800Xt.
