Screen tearing is used to reduce latency and/or jitter in games.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Enabling tearing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To enable tearing:
|
||
|
|
- Set `general:allow_tearing` to `true`. This is a "master toggle"
|
||
|
|
- Add `env = WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC,1` to your Hyprland config. This disables the usage of a newer DRM API that doesn't support tearing yet.
|
||
|
|
- Add an `immediate` windowrule to your game of choice. This makes sure that Hyprland will tear it.
|

|
|

|
||
|
|
Please note that tearing will only be in effect when the game is in fullscreen and the only thing visible on the screen.

Example snippet:
|
||
|
|
```env
|
||
|
|
general {
|
||
|
|
allow_tearing = true
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
env = WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC,1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
windowrulev2 = immediate, class:^(cs2)$
|
||
|
|
```

If you experience graphical issues, you may be out of luck. Tearing support is experimental.
|
||
|
|
|

See the likely culprits below.

## Common issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Graphical artifacts (random colorful pixels, etc)
|
||
|
|
Likely issue with your graphics driver. Please note, afaik, intel's iGPUs do not support tearing at all.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please _do not_ report issues if this is the culprit. Unfortunately, it's most likely your GPU driver's fault.

|
|
### Other graphical issues
|
||
|
|
Likely issue with `WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NO_ATOMIC forces the use of a legacy, less tested drm API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please _do not_ report issues if this is the culprit. Unfortunately, you will have to wait for the Linux kernel to support
|
||
|
|
tearing page flips on the atomic API.
