It is typical for a live-service game to run into some issues, especially after a major content update. The recent launch of The Witch Queen expansion brought just that, some technical issues. Some players have reported that the recent update has caused Screen Tearing. Here is how you may fix this issue and get back to playing.
Screen Tearing occurs when yourdisplay’s refresh rate and GPU’s frame rate are not synchronized. It can be seen as a horizontal split at one or more places on the screen. Typically this is seen when players attempt to run a game at a higher framerate than their display is capable of. Destiny 2 is not a stranger to this issue and has had this pop up with past updates.

Within Destiny 2, players canaccess their Settings and navigate to the Video tab. Here you will want toreset these settings to default. You can find the button used to do this in the bottom right corner of the screen. Doing this should fix the issue and stop the Screen Tearing.
If you are still experiencing the issue after doing the above workaround, you should post your issue on theBungie Help forums. This will get Bungie’s attention the quickest, and they will assist you directly in solving the issue.
