Here is a forum post about it.

The OP's problem was fixed by turning Vsync off.

You could probably get Vsync to work ingame if you force it on through your Nvidia control panel. The ingame one might not work correctly, I've seen this happen on a few older games before.

Hopefully this helps you.

This should probably be a sticky, the game is unplayable on high end hardware with VSYNC on, and the only way I could turn it off was with RVGL, otherwise the option was grayed out.
I also recommend changing steering from the sticks if using a controller to the dpad, helped me a lot too.

You can probably force it off using your Nvidia Control Panel settings. Just open the custom profile tab for Re-volt add disable Vsync on there.

yup, it seems like vsync was causing it. But now theres a little screen tearing, i hope the devs work on some permanent fix.

You can try forcing Vsync ON in your control panel and bypassing the ingame one.

I've ran into this kind of issue on older games before and fixed it by doing this.

So i forced Vsync off through nvidia panel, and it unlocked in game, even though the settings said off.

But wouldnt the skid issue come back if i turn on vsync, either by nvidia panel or ingame settings?

This goes beyond my understanding but from my experience, older games try to request an older method for Vsync that doesn't always work correctly.

It's something like that. So if you force it on through the control panel sometimes it will bypass what the ingame function is requesting and work properly.

Is anyone else getting issues with the sound effects not sounding right with V-Sync disabled?

Maybe try to cap the games frame rate?

You should be able to do this in the control panel.

Or you can try to manually force Vsync through the control panel like I mentioned above. This might bypass how the game is requesting Vsync and not cause the steering bug but allow you to have Vsync.


Honestly though guys, you're sorta better off using RVGL. It's the most stable version of the game that's had years of work put into it.

RVGL even lets supports OpenALsoft which lets you use 3D Binaural audio in the game and whatnot.

It seems forcing Vsync ON through the nvpanel seems to do the trick, vsysnc works and handling is fine.

Awesome.

I'd maybe mark this post as 'Answered' so other people know to try it.

I can't figure out how to force Vsync off. I'm on an AMD card (RX 580) and I can't figure out how to do it in adrenaline. I've tried selecting always off and it still shows up as on in the game, I've tried off unless application specifies and it still doesn't work. I've tried going into the game files and seeing if there's a config somewhere I could edit with no luck. I'm completely stumped and the bad handling caused by the vsync is seriously cheesing me off. I know this is an old thread but if anyone is still around here I would appreciate the help.
