Can't get rid of screen tearing and FPS problem on a high-end PC

You set your preferred monitor to primary, then when you run fullscreen apps it ends up on the monitor you want it on.

It’s not the game that does this.

Thanks, I tried it - cap fps to 141 and the monitor was at 144 hz. Do you have v-sync turned on? If I turn on v-sync, the frames will be unstable anyway. If I turn it off, they will be stable, but there comes a tearing.

Game becomes smoother and screen tearing is reduced when:

I will enable v-sync in the Nvidia control panel, g-sync on and enable reflex. But what is funny thing - fps can drop from 138 to 115-120.

I don’t understand one thing. Why can’t it maintain a stable 138 frames, when without v-sync it reaches over 200? I understand that there are damage effects, fire, smoke, but the 4090 and 13900k should be able to deal with it without any problems. Haha, just idk.

if you are running a 144hz screen you gonna need to trial and error to find the sweet spot. Do not touch the VSYNC option. That is one of the buggiest things in WT. See the screenshot

EDIT : This is for my specs specific, you will need to play with it for a bit and check it over a few battles. Need to restart your game each time.

I have -

i7-10700k
RTX3070
32GB RAM

Thanks. I have V-sync enabled in the Nvidia control panel. I’ll have to turn it off and try. Thank you for your help, I will try to fix it tomorrow, but this problem irritates me. Thanks!

To clarify: you have 75hz monitor and cap fps to 100, right? V-sync and reflex off?

More fps than monitor won’t affect you a screen tearing?

For me personally : 75Hz Screen, VSYNC OFF and capped to 100FPS - correct

Oke, that’s weird haha. So maybe I will try to cap fps higher than my refresh rate. That’s my another hope man, cause everytime fps was higher than refresh rate - it was causing a tearing

Ye I went from 75Hz up by 5 till I stopped seeing issue. Should’ve mentioned that - sorry

Another important question. Do you use all maxed settings like SSAA x4 and TAA? Thanks!

I clicked “movie” and let her rip

I have only one monitor.
Also no, fullscreen in WT is affected by language panel somehow.

If you use SSAA - you pretty much don’t need TAA, it makes picture blurry. Just SSAA is enough for aliasing.

Understood. Thank you!

the game will automatically switch to fullscreen window mode when an IME language is detected. it has been for years (possibly as long as the game exists ?!) so it’s not a bug but intended behaviour (or design choice ?!) - and no, i have no clue why…

however i haven’t looked into this issue for quite some time tbh so things may have changed (though i doubt it)

Why do you think it’s not a bug just because it exists for a long time?
It’s a bug that was introduced at some point (definitely not as long as WT exists, the issue was not present in 2016ish) and then either ignored or not acknowledged.

There is no reason to justify this behavior. Other games don’t have similar flaw, never seen any game that would refuse enter fullscreen with Japanese keyboard.

because this comes up in the client logs (on machines with IME):

ええ? 何で?
Wow.

I thought you’d misused language instead of display rofl… XD

How in the heck is that even a bug?

How it is not?..
What’s the logical explanation of blocking fullscreen for having Japanese keyboard?

That’s what I mean, how is it even come to be a bug, and why’s it even been a problem for so long.

It shouldn’t even be.

It’s not me contending that it’s not a bug to report, it should never have even been a bug to turn up is what I’m meaning.

I genuinely thought that you were having trouble with putting the fullscreen up on a machine with dual monitors in the first post I responded to.
