Resident Evil Village has released for all platforms and users around the world. From the state of play currently, the game looks awesome; however, like all RE titles, there are certain issues with the game. While not a lot of players are affected by it, screen tearing is one of the issues with the game. This is a serious problem and makes the game unplayable. If you have encountered the Resident Evil Village screen tearing on PC or console, we have the fix you can try.
How to Fix Resident Evil Village Screen Tearing on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox
FreaknShrooms on Reddit explains the cause of the screen tearing perfectly, “If you’re getting an fps that isn’t a multiple or a 1/x fraction of the monitors refresh rate there will be tearing. Even if you lock you’re fps to 60, 120, 30, etc. you’ll still get tearing if you don’t have something like v-sync to take care of the timing.” Put simply, the issue is caused due to a sync problem between the monitor and the GPU. If your GPU sends a frame even before the monitor has finished rendering the previous image, the Cyberpunk 2077 screen tearing can occur.
There are several solutions to manage the problem such as enabling Vsync or getting a monitor with Gsync. Here are all the solutions you can try for the screen tearing in Resident Evil Village for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox.
Fix Resident Evil Village Screen Tearing on PC
The first solution we suggest is to enable V-sync. For NVidia and AMD users, you can do this from Graphics Card control panel. NVidia users open the control panel and follow the path Manage 3D settings > Global Settings and enable a fast or adaptive V-Sync option.
Another way to resolve the issue is to cap the frame-rate. You can use any software online for the job. MSI Afterburner is a great software for the job. Use the software to lock the FPS of the game to match that of your monitor. But, there is a downside, MSI Afterburner is also known to crash games. So, try using the software and if the game crashes, then look for some alternative software.
Finally, if you can afford or are considering to buy a new monitor, invest in one that has the Gsync feature.
Fix Resident Evil Village Screen Tearing on Consoles
Sadly, console users do not have the same flexibility as PC users and as the game is pre-optimized for consoles, there is little you can do other than switch between the different modes of the game to check if that helps the situation.
The only permanent solution for the screen tearing issue on console is to wait for a patch from the developers, which should come any day now.
That’s all we have in this guide, by following any of the three solutions for PC, you should be able to resolve the Resident Evil Village screen tearing issue. If you are on console and struggling with the same problem, try changing the Performance to Quality mode. Check out the game category for more guides.
