If you're experiencing lag spikes or losing connectivity while playing THRONE AND LIBERTY, here are some steps that could help.
Common Symptoms of Lag and Connectivity Issues
- Character(s) moving randomly or sporadically around the map, also known as rubber banding or warping.
- Attacks appear to land, but the damage or effects aren’t registering.
- You and/or other players appear to be stuck or running in place.
- Sudden, frequent disconnects from the game.
- Frequent lag or lag spikes.
Tip: In online gaming, lag is a noticeable delay between the action of players and the reaction of the server in a video game. We get it, you totally pressed your button before the other guy, and lag is what got you killed.
Quick Fixes
- Make sure that your computer isn't downloading Windows updates, other games, etc. Performing tasks that involve downloading updates can drastically decrease your computer's available bandwidth.
- Identify if others in your household are running high bandwidth applications like video streaming, or online gaming. Closing high bandwidth applications or turning off high bandwidth devices may reduce latency.
