SOR Remake (SORR v5.1) vsync issues

SORR 5.1 always runs perfectly smooth at 60 fps on WinXP, but never on Win7 even though it's on the same dual-boot PC.

In Win7, the "vsync" option won't stay "on", because when I return to the "main menu", the scrolling text at the bottom of the screen is going too fast, then the screen flickers once and the text scrolls at normal speed but jumps/jerks every second. Turns out that the game disabled vsync, and in-game there's always an annoying little stutter/tearing in the screen scrolling, no matter what 3d settings I choose in my Windows GPU display options (tried with Nvidia Geforce 960), and no matter if the game is running in fullscreen or windowed mode, and no matter if I disable direct-3d and directdraw hardware acceleration.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any fix for it?

Check this file in your game's install directory:
Streets of Rage Remake\mod\system.txt

In third paragraph, you have this:
// FULL SCREEN WIDE: AUTO, DESKTOP, BORDERLESS, BORDERLESS_SYNC
BORDERLESS_SYNC

Change the "BORDERLESS_SYNC" to something else and test. For me, "DESKTOP" is working, to apply, its going to be like this:

// FULL SCREEN WIDE: AUTO, DESKTOP, BORDERLESS, BORDERLESS_SYNC
DESKTOP

Try all options to see if one of them works for you.

Yes, I experience it as well. The game is fluid on low-end machines but on a powerful PC it stutters.
It's clearly not optimized for modern PCs, and that's really too bad...
