One day after releasing The Callisto Protocol to mixed reviews, developer Striking Distance Studios is rolling out a patch to address the PC versions stuttering issues. The studio promised the hotfix would improve performance, adding that a number of additional updates were on the way.Were aware that some users are experiencing stuttering issues on the PC. Weve got a patch that will be available in a few hours to improve performance, with a number of additional updates on the way. The Callisto Protocol (@CallistoTheGame) December 2, 2022Since its release, PC players have taken to YouTube, Reddit and other online forums to complain about The Callisto Protocols performance issues. On Steam, the game currently holds a Mixed score after nearly 10,000 player reviews, with the majority of negative posts complaining about the games technical shortcomings.Digital Foundry details the problems in its recent video on the game. According to the outlet, The Callisto Protocol doesnt precompile its shaders. Thats a big no-no for an Unreal Engine 4 game on PC. Nearly every time The Callisto Protocol introduces new assets or shows something for the first time, players can expect massive stuttering, with the effect worse on PCs with older and less powerful CPUs.How much the first patch fixes the shader compilation issue is hard to say. Some Twitter users report a huge difference, but note the problem isnt completely fixed. Watching the few YouTube videos that document how the update affects performance, you can still see still plenty of micro stutters. If you want to play The Callisto Protocol on PC, I would say your best bet is to wait before buying the game.
