Despite being one of the biggest releases of the year, TheCallistoProtocol's PC port looks like a technical nightmare.
The Callisto Protocol was one of my most anticipated games of the year, so you can imagine how disappointing it was to learn that the PC port runs terribly. I’ve been down this road before with the best graphics card money can buy, and I refuse to go down it again.
What’s the problem with The Callisto Protocol on PC? It’s easy to see The Callisto Protocol has issues on PC. The game carries a Mostly Negative review on Steam right now, despite Digital Trends Gaming Editor Giovanni Colantonio giving the game three-and-a-half out of five stars in our review. He reviewed the game on an Xbox Series X and noted performance issues, but not enough to justify a mostly negative score.
Although stuttering can come from myriad sources, The Callisto Protocol isn’t unique. It uses Unreal Engine, which has become notorious in the PC space for the past several years due to shader compilation stuttering. Below, you can see how bad the situation is with testing performed by CapFrameX with an RTX 4090 and a Core i9-13900K.
We have several other major releases that saw similar stuttering problems this year. Gotham Knights is the most recent example, as it exhibited such severe stuttering that I wasn’t able to make it through more than a few hours of the game. Elden Ring also shipped with stuttering issues on PC, as did the sci-fi cat adventure Stray. The connective tissue? Unreal Engine.
