Screen tearing that seem unrelated to... everything?

[Quemaqua]

Well, that's disheartening.  But do let us know if you find anything out, I'm all eagerness to get to the bottom of it.

Couple things you guys could try..

for duo core cpus: while the game is running, go to the task manager and find Aquaria.exe in the processes list. Then right click and choose "Set Affinity..." and uncheck all but one of the CPU cores.

for everyone: edit usersettings.xml and change

<FpsSmoothing v="30" />

to

<FpsSmoothing v="0" />

Alternatively, try higher values (60, 90, 120)

Hmm... I busted out my ancient ATI machine today, and noticed some tearing. I changed one thing in the code and now the tearing is gone. (!)

Are you guys down for testing a patch? Please say yes.

Thanks a lot for your patience!

Absolutely.  I've been waiting for 1.1.1 to finish the game anyway, and I'm sick of studying for finals.  Give me an excuse to stop reading about interface design for a few hours, PLEASE.

What did you change?

This thread is about screen tearing (i.e. effectively looking like vsync is off) Do you have that problem in a noticable way?

If anyone is noticing this problem with 1.1.1 please let me know so we can test a potential fix. Thanks.

Hi Alec,

I'm definitely up to testing the patch out.  If it works I'll let you know ASAP.  Hopefully whatever you did to fix it on your older machine will be the cure for the rest of us (probably the few of us) that are experiencing the tearing problem. 

So please let me know when the patch is available and where to find it (which thread it'll be located in) and I'll test it out immediately and let you know the results. 

Also, just wanted to say, thanks for the quick response!  Another reason why I appreciate indie games and the developers, they care!   

Cheers.

um...ya, check first page of the thread.  I'm using the same video card as the OP and was having the same issue.

I should have mentioned that my Graphics card is an ATI as well.  It's an older card (9200 Series) but it's still sufficient and has suited my gaming needs well.   Just let me know when the fix is ready and I'll try it out and leave feedback for you as well (fingers crossed).  Thanks again.

You have the screen tearing problem right now?

Yes, it's noticeable as soon as the Title Screen kicks in and continued while I played the game.  Didn't notice it during the Bit Blot logo screen though and I tried running the game using multiple settings even manually editing the usersettings file but to no avail.

[Alec]

Check your pms, I sent you a link.

[Alec]

Looks like we've got it fixed.

If anyone else has this problem and wants to test the fix, let me know.

[Chibi]

Is this fix worth downloading just in case? I haven't experienced any problems yet, but should I play it safe, so to speak?

[Johnny Boy]

Thanks for the quick fix Alec!  Now I get to dive into Aquaria all over again!   

[Quemaqua]

I'd certainly be happy to give it a test.  Sorry I didn't respond earlier.  At work all day and such.  PM me a link and I'll let you know post haste.
