Why online games run slow on my computer


It must be very annoying the Internet becomes disconnecting or slow when playing online game. So why online games run slow on my computer? Here we show a list of various reasons for the slow online games.

SLOW ONLINE GAMES REASON 1: CONNECTION SPEEDwhy my online games run slow

The Internet connection speed can greatly affect the speed of online games. A modem user will have much higher ping than other players during playing online games.

SLOW ONLINE GAMES REASON 2: SERVER

There are also many other factors that can contribute to a slow or laggy online game experience, including where a server is located, how many players are playing on the server at the same time, what connection the server has, or how fast the computer server is. On this problem, follow any of the below for recommendation:
  1. Check if all users are experiencing high pings or high latency. If all users are slow, it means that the server is a slow computer or has too many players for the connection being used at once.
  2. Change to an alternate server. If the server you are playing on is in another country in the world, it may cause the slow connection with some games.
  3. Play the game at a different time of day. If the server is being used for more than just running a game server, it may be experiencing a heavy work load or high bandwidth usage, which may cause the game to slow down.

SLOW ONLINE GAMES REASON 3: UPDATES

When your online game goes slow, see if you have the latest updates for the game together with the operating system you are using on computer. Updating the game to the latest version, updating the drivers in computer, and updating the operating system can help to improve a game performance effectively.

SLOW ONLINE GAMES REASON 4: MORE COMPLEX ENVIRONMENT

When entering an area with some other online players, the stress on your PC can increase for the requirements of the needs to load each of the characters and their actions. If the computer performance decreases every time when other players are on your screen or around, you need to try to decrease the video quality of the game, which can be done by the Settings or Display area of the game.

HOW DO I KNOW THE PING IN MY ONLINE GAME?

In fact, almost all online games offer a feature which can be enabled or disabled and allow players to see the ping or latency of Internet connection with the game server. But where this information is located and how to enable or disable it is different on the games.

HOW TO KNOW IF MY PING IS HIGH?

The higher the ping or latency values on your game, the worse your connection. To see if the ping is high when compared with other players on the save server, it depends on the game and the server. The color coded ping, latency or connection indicators can be used to see if the ping is high or not, on which, the red for bad (high ping), yellow for ok, and green for good (fast or low ping).
