Tearing

Maganda · Post by **Maganda** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 11:25 pm

I recently installed Vista 64 on my PC with a new graphics card and now my ScummVM games tear terribly.

They didn't tear whatsoever before but now the games are unplayable, it really is that extreme.

I have searched the forums for a solution but didn't find one. Can someone suggest some things I can try to fix it please?

N.B. turning on V-Sync and Triple Buffering in nVidia Control Panel do not remedy the issue.

I can already imagine that you'll be kindly asked to reveal which version of ScummVM and which particular "new graphics card" you are talking about. Note that this is just a hunch and may not reflect the actual probable near-future.

ScummVM version 0.10.0

Zotac 8800GT AMP! Edition

Which games are you referring to?

All of them.

I've tried Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis, Monkey Island, Broken Sword and Day of The Tentacle. All of them worked fine before the OS and graphics card change. Before that I was using XP and a 8800GTX.

Maybe your PC has not enough RAM or processor speed for windows Vista?

Core 2 Duo - 3.335Ghz

RAM - 2 x 2GB 800Mhz

I don't have a definitive answer to your problem, but I've been hearing lots and lots about most software not really being quite compatible with Vista yet. Maybe a couple months and a few Vista software updates will do the trick.

ScummVM works fine for me on Vista 32bit though.

Does it work in windowed mode?

I've managed to solve it.

I enabled scaling to 960x720 with Aspect Ratio Correction turned on and it works.
