Maniaplanet Forum

Hello! In the last 2 days after launching the game as usual some odd things have started to happen.
1)Most maps( not all of them for some reason ) Had this weird light system when the shadows were really dark and pixely, regular roads looked brown, but the white platform block we fine and there were also some weird minor oddities. I found a temporary fix, when i can "fix" the lighting by downloading the Map and computing the shadows manually in it. ( I did that in some TCS maps ) But it is really anoying when i want to play random maps in servers.

2)I was starting to have A LOT of screen tearing, i tried fixing with FPS locking, VSying, GPU & CPU syncing, Triple buffer, Changing Resolution, Reinstalling the game, resetting the Computer, Resetting The GPU, Cleaning the PC ( via deleting files and cleaning dust ). All that still did not help.

So i am asking here to hopefully get a suggestion to my issues since the Screen Tearing is really killing my eyes.

Hi,

Even if not really needed there, it's always nice to specify in which game and version of it your problems occur. Avoiding abbreviations is also a good idea : TCS ? Never heard of it.
Now, i never saw anyone having screen tearing with V-Sync activated so you may want to turn that on and it should fix your issue. Please note though that if you're using OpenPlanet with the 64 bits version of ManiaPlanet, until this bug got fixed since, it'll not work (the V-Sync). That's the reason why i had to uninstall OpenPlanet and since i'm not mapping anymore it's all good.

For your lightning/shadows issue, i don't have a solution but i saw many threads related to issues with them. Maybe you could find one by searching a bit on this subject until someone comes with a direct solution to that.

This was fixed a VERY long time ago.

Good to hear. When i "uninstalled" (just put an _ in the dll name tbf) it, what got fixed was users with V-Sync off having forced V-Sync, the opposite case was still occuring.
Just took the latest version to test and indeed i had 60 fps on the x64 version, so it seems all good now .
