When playing FPS online, you can often encounter such inconveniences as server lags or response delays. There are a number of reasons why they occur, as well as a number of actions that must be taken to eliminate them.
Instructions
Step 1
The most common cause of latency is a slow connection to the server. This fact can be observed even in the case of a good and stable network access channel. This is due to programs that are running simultaneously with the game client and interfere with the normal connection to the server.
Step 2
In this case, disable torrent clients, download managers, and instant messengers. For the duration of the game, also disable all programs that are currently downloading updates. Control their disabling by launching the task manager and going to the processes tab. Kill the processes that contain the word update in their names - they refer to the programs that are currently downloading updates.
Step 3
The second reason for a delay in response can be an increased load on the processor and computer memory due to a large number of simultaneously running applications. In this case, disable all third-party programs that are not related to the gameplay. Disable real-time antivirus protection and then disable antivirus. Often, this program is the main reason for the increased load on the processor and RAM of the computer, which leads to a decrease in the frame rate.
Step 4
If the above steps have not worked as expected and response delays continue, you should lower the video settings in your game. Turn off visuals as much as possible, lower your screen resolution settings to an absolute minimum, and increase them a little until you start to notice lag. As soon as they start, reduce the resolution one step back to the rhinestone and save these parameters. In this case, the game will be less dynamic and colorful, but at least you will not suffer from an abundance of delays that interfere with normal gameplay.
