directx draw functions - tearing

[prx]

I'm currently trying to develop a directx-based UI system since I want control over the look and feel of the UI on my server. (Being able to set the cegui theme from a script would be nice.)

Everything is working fine, however dragging a window can cause terrible horizontal tearing. I tried forcing vsync on in my driver settings but the problem persists.

Is there any way of fixing this? I kinda feel like making a flashy UI system is pointless if the user can't even smoothly drag windows in it..

Here's the resource: please don't use my resource I totally changed my mind

Edit: lol nvm the default gui is tearing as well

TLDR Would it be possible to enable vsync in the game or is it hardcoded to be off for a reason?

when you drag the box , any element on the box doesn't mvove ?

I checked it out and it doesn't seem to be tearing for me. Did you try setting maximum FPS to 60 in the server config?

Yeah, maxfps is 60. (screen refresh is also ~60hz)

Interestingly, it isn't tearing in windowed, windowed maximized of windowed keep res modes, and the tearing kinda seems cyclical.. like it repeats at constant intervals after dragging the window for long enough

Interesting, my MTA runs in borderless so might be why it wasn't tearing. Will check again later to see what it looks like in fullscreen. Any chance you could record a short video of what it looks like? You can use a site like Streamable so you don't need to fiddle about with YouTube
