Screen tearing can ruin your Fortnite experience. It’s like trying to watch a movie, but the screen keeps splitting in half. Annoying, right? Let’s fix that.
- Press the Escape key while in Fortnite. This opens the game menu. Click on Settings.
- Navigate to the Video section under Display Settings.
- If your monitor supports adaptive sync (like FreeSync or G-Sync), enable that feature on your monitor settings. Then, turn off VSync in Fortnite. Adaptive sync handles screen tearing better than VSync.
- If your monitor doesn’t have adaptive sync, turn VSync on in Fortnite’s settings. This forces your PC to match the game’s frame rate with your monitor’s refresh rate, eliminating screen tearing.
- Make sure you’re playing in Fullscreen mode under Window Mode. VSync works best here—other modes might not fix the issue.
- After tweaking these settings, hit Apply. Don’t skip this step, or nothing will change.
Things to Keep in Mind:
- Turning off VSync can give you better input response and higher frame rates, but it might bring back screen tearing if adaptive sync isn’t enabled.
- Always prioritize fullscreen mode for smoother gameplay.
This fix is quick and effective. Try these steps, and you’ll be back to enjoying Fortnite without those annoying splits on your screen!
