Tearing issue?

[Thunderhammer]

I'm a new SFML user and i'm using it to complete a final project for a programming class I'm taking.

I'm having an issue which I think is the result of screen or image tearing but I'm not sure. I've attached an image of the the game I'm working on using some Megaman X sprites. You'll notice some black rectangles extending to the right of the sprite, and part of the bottom of his foot is cut off.

I've tried using Vsync, limiting framerate, and  setting all my textures to setSmooth(false). Any help would be much appreciated. I can upload more example images as well if necessary, as well as any source code excerpts anyone would think are relevant.

Screen tearing looks different.

You're probably making another mistake at rendering, for example not strictly adhering to the clear-draw-display cycle. But we can't tell without seeing code, please come up with a minimal complete example (read that post carefully!)

This might also mean you're somehow using texture coordinates outside the actual texture (without repetition being enabled).

I zoomed into your image to have a closer look and got confused by the JPEG compression (for a short time) as it has added texture to the black rectangles.

Also, your image looks a bit...rude.

Thanks for your replies. I found the solution. When I was calling setTexture() on my sprite I wasn't including the second paramter for resizing the underlying rectangle of the sprite.

so by calling Sprite.setTexture(Texture, true); I fixed my problem.
