Few things
frustrate and annoy online gamers more than game slowdown, freezing and lag.
When you play an online game, you want it to run smoothly, but lag makes your
game slow to a crawl, and can even result in you losing a match. Lag has many
possible causes, including outdated computer hardware, slow Internet speed or a
poor wireless signal.
Instructions
o
1. Stop all
downloads and file sharing apps before starting an online game. Close as many
programs as possible for an extra speed boost.
o
2. Move your wireless
router as close to your computer or game console as you can. Your Internet
speed suffers if the wireless signal has to travel through a wall or other
obstruction.
o
3. Connect your
console or computer directly to the router with an Ethernet cable, if possible,
for the best connection speed.
o
4. Ensure that
your computer's hardware meets the minimum recommended specifications for the
game you want to play, as outdated hardware can lead to lag. Visit a website,
such as Can You Run It?, to quickly determine your machine's compatibility with
a game (link in Resources).
o
5. Defragment
your computer's hard drive regularly. Open the Start menu, type
"defrag" into the search field, then click "Disk
Defragmenter" and "Defragment Disk" to start the process.
o
6. Add your game
as an exception on your computer's firewall. Some firewalls block or put
restrictions on games, causing lag.
