yea so i tried to take a screenshot but it's kinda impossible to capture happening, it's kinda like the usual tearing you get with a drop or rise in framerate but it only happens within about an inch of the top of the screen, guess it has issues with widescreen res. anyone know if you can capture a video in unreal? and yes it's been updated to unreal gold
