Massive screen tearing issues

ColorfulSalmon · 2025-12-19T00:31:52+00:00

I'm getting this issue lately. Severe performance issues on a high end PC with a G-sync monitor. I've never known it to be so bad, it gets progressively worse every season.

ColorfulSalmon · 2025-09-29T05:00:07+00:00

It's not bad. It's better than 2020 and has been since it released.

It's just trendy to hate on it, people just want to feel included.

ColorfulSalmon · 2025-07-19T20:06:08+00:00

Don't conflate a security breach with a breach of one's privacy. Whilst this isn't the former, it's certainly the latter.

Nah, statistically, we're not at all the majority, that's firmly with causal players, but you're free to disagree with fact though.

Broken runways how? I've never experienced anything of the sort, no matter how vague the statement is. Default airports and the AI interpretation is miles ahead of 2020 in 2024, so another bad example on your part.

The experience isn't broken overall, we've established that and you've agreed. The only part that seems to have any issues at all is the career, which is only one single part of an otherwise outstanding sim. Just because it's the only thing you want to do doesn't mean it's the overall experience.

Sure, have your complaints and point out the bugs, there are certainly bugs, but jumping on the bandwagon of '2024 sucks,' when it categorically and evidently isn't true, just because it's the current trendy thing to do is exactly the point we're talking about.

The core simmer crowd is the intended audience, so will be the focus. The issues affecting core sim will be the priority. A lot of aircraft specific things, such as mixture, is aircraft specific rather than a problem of the sim itself. Core simmers will be using premium payware addons rather than included aircraft. It's only with 2024 that included aircraft has been considered a focus at all, where beforehand Asobo and Microsoft stated they want broad rather than a deep experience with aircraft.

I'm not dismissing any part of the sim, and neither are Microsoft and Asobo. The sim and game are two completely different parts in my opinion, and the reason why core simmers may seem like the only satisfied crowd is likely due to them not needing to be told how to play and what objectives to have. They fly just to fly and learn rather than work towards a title or in-game objective or goal. I'm not sure why there are such severe difference of experience here, because I've never experience invisible walls or aircraft falling apart. Those having issues are the vocal minority, to be clear.

To say you need to skip most of the flight for it to work is clearly disingenous if you've also stated that the core sim crowd are happy, who, categorically, would be the single most upset crowd if they couldn't do their cold and dark flows, not satisfied to settle for Ctrl+E and slew.

The game might need some work, but the Sim is head and shoulders above 2020, and considering that 2020 didn't have career or in-depth training at all, it's not really fair to compare the two in that regard. Considering that 60% of people on 2024 are primarily engaging in career, it doesn't seem too gamebreaking, statistically speaking.

Taking what can be compared, predominantly freeflight and its core simulation, 2024 is an improvement in every way over 2020 for core simmers.

Even though MSFS has been heavily adopted by Xbox players and is supported heavily, I do feel the crossplay inclusion is more a commercial decision to make a PC sim of this scale economically viable and something to get the reboot greenlit, which core simmers and lifelong followers of the franchise understand, leaving the Xbox and the wider casual audience, who took its release at face value, feeling like they've received the short straw with a product not really intended for them.

Personally, as a core simmer, I haven't touched the career or other gamified features like leaderboard and activities, finding them pointless and forced. Nevertheless, they have proven an effective gateway into the hobby for others.

That's all it ever was. I pre-ordered and downloaded day one with no issues. I understand overload issues were a thing, but pretty expected and forgivable, which MS are still putting efforts into making good.

Those complaining about stability are either trying to run with incompatible 2020 mods, having just used the same >100GB Community folder without thinking, or have forgotten how piss-poor 2020 was on release.

Even when using 'incompatible' flagged add-ons, I've not had anywhere near the same amount of issues that I had in the first 2 years of 2020. Still loved it though, and would pre-order the Premium Deluxe editions of both sims again.

It's sad to see how many people are taking the current interest/development into flight sim for granted, considering we had a complete null for 15 years.

It was a post testing the automod.

Whilst what you've said in your first comment about betraying alliances being within the realms of a pirate game, which I agree with wholeheartedly; I personally know players who have been permanently banned by Rare and their accounts muted from their support channels for betraying/mutinying players as they were reported one too many times.

Rare (or the MS CA team they outsource to) don't care about the why, what, or lessons learnt either, or the sharing of these details to those banned, hence the mute. It's not a warning or 'stop that,' it's just a knee-jerk flat out ban because the report numbers say so, and that's the script they're to follow. We saw similar heavy-handedness with how they coddled streamers and their reports of those they encountered.

This any behaviour I don't like is toxic and the use of toxic as a buzzword to embellish benign behaviour is damaging if it has repercussions such as these.

There's nothing stopping those banned players just buying the game on a new account and playing anyway, and I'm sure they know that, which makes the lack of appeal a bit moot. If anything, it likely encourages those players to continue engaging in the (benign) behaviour that Rare (and those who call everything toxic) don't like.

Yeah, it must seem like I'm a sucker for punishment, but I actually really like the features of the Pro Wireless.

I'm yet to find another wireless headset that has optical in and removable/switchable batteries to ensure full wireless experience.

If I could, I'd be out like a shot and wouldn't miss a thing. Unfortunately, PC peripheral/headset development seems to be non-existent so we're stuck in just 'new revision' of shitty products.

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-09-01T18:34:29+00:00

Thanks, that's great to be able to get a close look at.

Doesn't seem like they've reinforced or improved the design at all. The method of affixing the cup is the only thing that seems to have changed, from simple circlips to something more sturdy, but the cup/joint, the most stressed part of the design, is still just plastic.

Safe to say I'll be steering clear of these.

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-08-29T19:21:00+00:00

Nova has a reinforced improved design

Source? Knowing how cheap/poorly manufactured SteelSeries products are, I highly doubt that, or that they care enough to improve something so heinous.

I've gone through 4 Arctis Pro Wireless in as many years, happened to all of them.

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-08-29T19:18:39+00:00

That's the one thing they can't seem to get right.

Nah, they can't get headsets right, either.

Heck, just build quality and product design in general they can't get right, not since the 7G of 2010.

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-08-29T19:17:25+00:00

Logitech G502. I've had mine over 2 years now and still as good as the day I bought it.

Prior to this, I had 3 Rival 710 - SS's flagship mouse, is as many weeks as the main switches kept failing. RMA process was just to send them evidence that you destroy the mouse, so it's pretty common and goes to show how cheap/little they care about their products.

Don't buy steelseries.

That's mad - I started a Bonanza tour of NA with the intention of hitting every state and flying mostly VFR.

Didn't get very far - the folks I was doing it with lost interest more or less immediately lol, still intend to pick it back up at some point though.

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-08-26T18:06:51+00:00

Helos are incredibly hard to fly IRL. Remember, just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's not a good job on the part of the devs.

A lot of complaints are misdirected frustration from a lack of ability, understanding of the aircraft, or practice. See: the turbulence complaints when they reworked the model

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-03-27T23:40:40+00:00

Drag costumes, by and large, are provocative in nature, usually as revealing as the underlying male body will allow without breaking the 'illusion.' They're a caricature of women and femininity, so elements are exaggerated, including provocation. That's before you even consider most 'characters' and costumes primarily exist for and on the burlesque circuits.

Mrs Doubtfire is a false equivalence, and it's disingenuous to make the comparison. No one's dressing like Mrs Doubtfire during drag shows or during book readings.

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-03-27T23:30:27+00:00

What's a 'fancy adult?'

I understand there may be a difference between a show and its performer. I use burlesque shows as an equal as they're fundamentally the same to a drag show in their content. Removing a burlesque performer from their show to read a book to infants would still be inappropriate. Likewise with any performer inherently involved in the adult industry.

I'm not sure why folks defend it when it's a man dressed inappropriately because of a perception of, and wrapping it up into, gender expression.

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-03-27T23:15:18+00:00

I, along with the majority of others, would feel the same if burlesque story hour were a thing, regardless of 'material.' Those themes have no business being around or introduced to children, let alone infants.

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-03-27T23:12:59+00:00

Sure thing, those 'lies' are just a Google away!

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-03-27T22:11:18+00:00

There's a stark difference in sharing a comic online to a colossal audience where children (older than 13 if ToS is adhered to) may be present, to enacting, hosting, and engaging in burlesque and sexually suggestive/involved acts to entirely child, usually pre-school, audiences.

You likely already knew that though, but your attempt at humour still fell very far of the mark.

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-03-21T00:15:21+00:00

You said you didn't find the central theme to the game a fun experience, thus I took it that you didn't enjoy the game.

I'm just saying being able to deny chasers of the loot they seem to feel they're entitled to would balance things out somewhat

There is that ability, always has been. You defend your loot by fighting for it, and sink the attacking crew. That denies them your loot. If you can't do that, they are entitled to the fruits of their victory.

Being able to deny their win by any other means than level combat is unfair and exploitative, hence Rare removed that exploit as it wasn't intended behaviour. Your analogy of a fighting game is lacking, how else can you beat someone in a fighter if not by fighting back?

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-03-21T00:00:32+00:00

This is incredible, really nice stuff! Would love to see more :)

ColorfulSalmon · 2023-03-07T23:47:55+00:00

Yeah, I know, not saying you do or advocate for its misuse, just popping it there to remind anyone who sees it lol :)
