If you are struggling with Screen Tearing in Elden Ring Nightreign, check out this article to find possible fixes for the issue.
Elden Ring Nightreign is set in a land of terror, despair, and beauty. Similar to the original Elden Ring, Nightreign excels at its world design, gameplay, and character designs. In such a visually pleasing and mechanically sound game, issues like Screen Tearing can hinder the experience and frustrate any player.
Furthermore, such issues can also have an impact on the game’s overall performance, especially when you are confronting its various bigger-than-life bosses. In this guide, we will discuss the issue a bit more and provide some potential fixes so you can enjoy Elden Ring Nightreign with fewer complications.
Potential Fixes for Screen Tearing in Elden Ring Nightreign
Since Elden Ring Nightreigns’ launch on May 30, 2025, there have been several reports of players of both PC and Console experiencing some performance issues. These include Screen Tearing, Stuttering, and Freezing. This means that the performance issues are not originating from the players’ devices and it is largely an issue from the development side of the game. Bandai Namco has already said in Nightreigns 1.01 patch notes that they are investigating the various performance issues and aim to improve gameplay and stability.
For now, there are a few solutions you can use that might make the game smoother for you and fix the screen tearing. To improve Nightreign’s performance, you can check and update your Graphics Card Driver, tweak the in-game settings, or switch to performance mode.
Check and Update Your Graphics Card Driver
Before you jump into the game’s settings and start fiddling with the various options there, you should always check and make sure that your Graphics Card Drivers are up to date. To do so, open the NVIDIA application on your PC and select the drivers tab on the left side. Then, click on the “Check for updates” option in the upper right corner and install the latest drivers.
Alternatively, if you are an AMD GPU user, open the respective application and go to the ‘home’ section. There, you should find a list of available updates in the top right corner of your screen.
After installing the latest Graphics Card Drivers, restart your PC. Once your device is up and running again, start Elden Ring Nightreign, and your gameplay should be a bit smoother with little to no screen tearing. However, this method might not work for everyone.
Tweaking In-Game Settings and Switching to Performance Mode
As of now, there isn’t any confirmed solution from Bandai Namco regarding the screen tearing and other performance issues for Elden Ring Nightreign. However, the publisher did recommend changing the in-game settings and switching from ‘High’ graphics settings to ‘Medium’ or ‘Low’ to improve performance. Furthermore, we also recommend lowering the game’s resolution, as it can potentially fix the screen tearing.
Additionally, you can also try limiting Nightreign’s FPS and enabling V-Sync. Although the latter can induce some input lag.
Unlike PC users, console gamers won’t have all of these options. But, they can still try switching from Quality Mode to Performance Mode. Reports have suggested that the latter does bring some improvements. So, players can change to Performance Mode within the in-game settings of Elden Ring Nightreign on both PlayStation and Xbox.
