The screen tearing and flickering in The Callisto Protocol can become the worst graphical hiccup. It happens when your Hz and resolution are mismatched between the PC or PS4/PS5 and the TV/monitor.

So when the frame rate over the monitor or TV is too high and your console is not configured to support then you will see multiple frames shown simultaneously which creates a tear or flicker.

Don’t worry in this article we explain how to fix The Callisto Protocol screen tearing on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

What Causes The Screen Tearing and Flickering on PC and PS4/PS5?

In most cases, it’s the TV and the console hardware resolution settings that are not synced. However, the Faulty HDMI Cable or Update Games on your PS5 can also become a cause of flickering and tearing.

So we also recommend that you restart your console, power cycle your PS4/PS5 console, or replay the level from the beginning.

Enable V-Sync.
- Usually, players disable V-Sync because it causes input lag. For the time being a quick fix for any PC screen tearing is to enable V-Sync. This prevents the frame rate from going above a set limit.
Cap frame rate in software.
- Software like MSI Afterburner can be used to cap the rate at which the graphics card renders frames. Setting this to the TV or monitor maximum refresh rate will have the best results. For example, on a 60 Hz monitor or TV, set the frame-rate cap to 60.
Use Nvidia or AMD software to force a V-Sync option.
- Go to the Nvidia or AMD control panel and enable a Fast or Adaptive V-Sync. This helps stop tearing without as much input lag.
