Screen tearing in game.

[spring mulch]

by "bright" do you mean "backlight cranks up" or "displays a white screen"

does this display support HDR input

[summer cairn]

I mean by, compared to other games the screen seems to be alot brighter, Not like white screen just like its doing some full screen optimisations or something

[spring mulch]

something seems to be pretty shot. are you able to check the monitor OSD and see if the brightness setting is rendered inaccessible when it happens?

[summer cairn]

Im actually completely not sure, it seems to be this specific game every game is fine but this game. I have uninstalled it, as well as checked if any external apps tried to do something.

[summer cairn]

I could send a video example if that helps

[spring mulch]

sure

if you want how its supposed to look i can send it too

but u might have to slow it down because it isnt as noticable on recording

[spring mulch]

do not use screen recording software. this one needs to be shot with a phone camera

[summer cairn]

aight

i will

[spring mulch]

since we need to determine if it's the software or monitor

if possible, if your camera has a pro mode, use it and fix the exposure

(shutter speed: 1/60, ISO: high enough to look normal on the desktop without blowing out everything)

[summer cairn]

the phone camera doesnt rly pick it up

ill still try

Ill show u normal too

[spring mulch]

Open the monitor's OSD while the computer is in the desktop. Report what refresh rate it is in, and if relevant, if HDR is turned on or off.

[spring mulch]

Then, replicate this situation, and open the monitor OSD again to report what's in there.

[summer cairn]

monitor is 240 hz

[spring mulch]

now check ingame and see what it says

[summer cairn]

the game doesnt have an option like that, however i have noticed it only happends when the game full screens

it does that

[spring mulch]

monitor OSD, not in-game

If you are unsure, provide the model name of the monitor

since it looks like you don't know what that is

[summer cairn]

bro just dumb talked me

[spring mulch]

because this reply is incorrect

I'll need the monitor model name to get you the location of the monitor's OSD/menu buttons

[summer cairn]

21HFLAAW25

thats the name

[spring mulch]

gimme a moment

[summer cairn]

I have found the monitors menu button however it doesnt provide the refresh rate.

[spring mulch]

this isn't producing any results

hmm

[summer cairn]

aw2521hfla

[spring mulch]

figures, the model was scuffed

[summer cairn]

idk why it ended up like that

[spring mulch]

probably didn't take

[summer cairn]

ik cuh

but i cant find anything useful in there

[summer cairn]

even if it was the monitor why does it happen in 1 specific game?

[spring mulch]

Games can and sometimes do set their own display settings

usually happens when a game is fullscreen exclusive or using a different display mode than the desktop

telltale sign: when launching or ALT-TABing, the screen goes black

[summer cairn]

yes my first thought was fullscreen exclusive

[spring mulch]

now, what's the contents of Display Info while the affected game is running

[summer cairn]

any specifics i need to look for?

monitors settings look the same

[spring mulch]

it only shows information: just select the option

[spring mulch]

Select "Display Info" and show the contents here

[spring mulch]

alright. now launch the affected game, and then show the same thing

[summer cairn]

aight

Mhm

[spring mulch]

there you go

game's requesting to go 60hz

[summer cairn]

Bro is smar

Smart

🤯

[summer cairn]

any ideas how to prevent this?

[spring mulch]

for the affected Minecraft installation, are you using any mod loaders?

[summer cairn]

Yup i am using lunar client.

[spring mulch]

are you using fabric along with it or something else?

[summer cairn]

Yup it only happens with fabric.

[spring mulch]

https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium

[summer cairn]

What about that?

lunar already haves it

[spring mulch]

OK. Then check sodium settings

In sodium settings, for each resolution you select you can select it 60Hz or your display's frequency (for vsync basically), check if it's not put on 60Hz

[summer cairn]

aight

I cannot select a resolution in sodium settings in game

[spring mulch]

screenshot now

[spring mulch]

or I think I'll see if Minecraft works properly for myself tbh, might take aw hile though since it's been a while

[spring mulch]

I think I'll install both lunar client and regular minecraft+fabric+sodium side by side

[summer cairn]

aight

make sure launch in fabric on lunar

yo

found this from a while ago

interesting?

[spring mulch]

OK, plain vanilla Minecraft with no mods works normally (uses desktop resolution and refresh, borderless, respects vsync on)

now to check with fabric+sodium

[summer cairn]

ok

[spring mulch]

ok, the manually installed version works as expected and there's no refresh issues

now to check lunar

[spring mulch]

just to be sure, you got it from here, right? https://www.lunarclient.com/

[summer cairn]

of course

[spring mulch]

The video settings menu is completely different.

[summer cairn]

did you launch in fabric?

it also has to be in the newer versions when sodium was released, such as 1.20.1 or 1.20.4

[spring mulch]

OK, let me recheck

reloading

OK, it also works fine

Something is intefering

when did the issue begin?

[summer cairn]

It seems to have began when i installed a driver update, but i reinstalled it too

I reset my nvidia control panel multiple times

reinstalled lunar client

sodium works fine by itself

however it seems to just do that on lunar?
