Screen Tear

[Tripster12345]

Hello Factorio Devs,

First off I wanted to say great game, I've had it for 2 weeks now and have invested 42+ hours on my first world.

I've recently upgraded my laptop to a new MSI Apache Pro a few days ago and notice that when I walk inside the game I have a large screen tear from the top left corner all the way to the bottom right diagonally. My current laptop has a 3GB graphics card, 16GB of ram (2x 8GB Sticks), and runs on Windows 10. My old laptop, which ran Factorio flawlessly, was a Lenovo, had a 1GB graphics card, 6GB of ram (1x 2GB Stick, 1x 4GB Stick), and ran on windows 8. I'm not sure what is causing the issue exactly, but I hope the information I have provided is enough to solve it. If you need anymore information about my new and old hardware or software feel free to contact my E-Mail.

P.S. All other games function properly as they did on my old laptop, if not faster due to the large upgrade.

I remember a few recent posts about screen tearing ...

Would this be of any help ?

In some threads on steam the problem was the new Nvidia-driver. The old one works.

Maybe Nvidia will fix it, but if you have an Nvidia.grafic-card, installing the old driver may solve your problem.

Yes, seems like graphics driver issue.
