The Callisto Protocol Bugs (Known Issues & Errors Fix)

The Callisto Protocol is an Action Survival Horror Sci-Fi game released on 2nd December 2022 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It has been directed by Glen Schofield, a co-created of the early 10s hit Horror Sci-Fi series, Dead Space. It has been developed by Striking Distance Studios and published by the publishers of the game that brought the Battle Royale genre mainstream, KRAFTON, Inc.

NOTE: The game has used Unreal Engine 5 for its development. So, high-end hardware must be used in order to get the best gameplay experience!

In The Callisto Protocol, you play Jacob Lee, on Jupiter’s dead moon, Callisto, as an inmate in a prison, fighting infected prisoners infected with an unknown disease, while discovering secrets of the facility. The gameplay is seemingly similar to that of Dead Space, with puzzle-solving, and resource-gathering.

It is a fairly new game, so bugs and glitches are bound to occur. It has been released as a final product, but developers these days release half-done games in order to patch them up later on. Or sometimes, you or your computer may be at fault.

This article will provide you with a guide for fixing all kinds of bugs you may encounter while playing The Callisto Protocol. For more content regarding Error fixes of particular games, visit our Error Fixes Tab.
