Horizontal band of "noise"

Solved: 8 Years, 1 Month ago Question  Horizontal band of "noise"

When I try playing dark descent I get a horizontal band of graphical "noise" about 1 cm high across the width of the screen. The band only appears when I move about in the game and disappears when I'm still. The vertical position of the band varies at random. By "noise" I mean the picture within that band appears pixelated or out of place. I have tried a variety of graphical settings, including everything set to low and that didn't make any difference. My laptop is a Toshiba Qosmio X875-Q7390 and my video adapter is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M (which should be more than adequate). Is there any solution to this?

Sounds almost like a problem with your graphic drivers. Tried to update them to the latest version?

I went into computer manager and windows is telling me that I already have the most up to date driver, 9.18.13.637

I attached it.

Also, I forgot to mention I'm playing on steam if that is relevant at all.

Oh, oh, I'm dumb. Have you turned on Vsync? Turn it on and that should fix it for you. Your graphics card is higher than mine and I run Amnesia at full settings, but with SSAO on 8 Samples and Medium res because SSAO is unnecessary power. (My card is a NVidia GTX 560M). Be sure to have vsync on to fix the tearing.

There are also a bunch of errors in the log. just for safety's sake, go to Amnesia in your Steam library, right click and go to "Properties". Then go to the "Local Files" tab and pick "Verify Integrity of Game Cache". It'll fix any corrupted or altered files.

Vsync worked thanks.
