I purchased Guild Wars 2 a week ago now, and since then I have been noticing a minor but concerning issue when playing the game. Basically, when I’m moving around in the game I get these flashes/flickers of screen tearing (if that’s the word for it). The flashes are very quick and don’t affect the visuals to the point where I can’t play the game, but they are very annoying and I don’t know how to fix them.

I compiled together a quick video recording of the problem which you can see via this link on YouTube:

I have tried tweaking with all the in-game settings, and I usually play on ‘high’ settings as that’s what the game automatically set for me. I have also removed all my PC overclocks and tried various setups, but I still get this problem? Other games on my PC such as Battlefield 3, Far Cry 3 and Minecraft never have this issue, so it’s only occurring in Guild Wars 2.

PC Specs:
- Intel i5 3570k CPU
- XFX Radeon HD 7950 3GB GPU
- Cooler Master Hyper 212 heatsink with Cooler Master Storm Scout case (all temperatures are stable and air flow is good)
- OCZ ZT 650W PSU
- Asrock Extreme4 Z77 Motherboard
- Acer 24" 1080p 2ms monitor (never has any issues outside this game)

If you need any more details please let me know. Any help would be great, thanks.

Screen tearing almost always has to deal with V Sync being off. I don’t know if your willing to turn it on and always have 30 FPS locked.

Are you on the latest AMD drivers?
13.1 just came out a few days ago, try installing that and see what happens
