|
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 an `immediate` windowrule to your game of choice. This makes sure that
|
|
Hyprland will tear it.
|
|
|
|
{{< callout >}}
|
|
|
|
Please note that tearing will only be in effect when the game is in fullscreen
|
|
and the only thing visible on the screen.
|
|
|
|
{{< /callout >}}
|
|
|
|
Example snippet:
|
|
|
|
```env
|
|
general {
|
|
allow_tearing = true
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
windowrulev2 = immediate, class:^(cs2)$
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{< callout type=warning >}}
|
|
|
|
If you experience graphical issues, you may be out of luck. Tearing support is
|
|
experimental.
|
|
|
|
See the likely culprits below.

|
{{< /callout >}}
|
|
|
|
## Common issues
|
|
|
|
### No tearing at all
|
|
|
|
Make sure your window rules are matching and you have the master toggle enabled.
|
|
|
|
Also make sure nothing except for your game is showing on your monitor. No
|
|
notifications, overlays, lockscreens, bars, other windows, etc. (on a different
|
|
monitor is fine)
|
|
|
|
### Apps that should tear, freeze
|
|
|
|
Almost definitely means your GPU driver does not support tearing.
|
|
|
|
Please _do not_ report issues if this is the culprit.
|
|
|
|
### Graphical artifacts (random colorful pixels, etc)
|
|
|
|
Likely issue with your graphics driver.
|
|
|
|
Please _do not_ report issues if this is the culprit. Unfortunately, it's most
|
|
likely your GPU driver's fault.
