Often people are faced with the fact that games on the computer are slow. Of course, people have more problems with client games, because their computer may not meet the system requirements. Less laggy browser games, because they do not require more powerful hardware PC. But in this article we will consider lag in the browser games.
Why do lag in browser games?
There are several reasons why browser games can lag:
- Weak computer;
- A clogged system;
- Bad Internet;
- Outdated version of Adobe Flash Player;
- Problems with the developers’ servers.
Install a specially adapted browser
Almost all of these problems can be easily solved, we will tell you about their solutions below.
What to do if your computer is weak
Often the problems with the games arise for this reason. To fix it, you can either buy a new computer (or accessories) or optimize the system.
There are many ways to optimize the system. The first thing you can do is to clear some programs from the autorun. Programs on this list run with your system and put a strain on it, which is bad for fragile computers. To remove programs from the autorun you need to do the following:
- Open the Task Manager. To do this you can use the familiar key combination of ctrl, alt, delete. Pressing these three keys will open a menu with several tabs, press Task Manager. Or, on the Taskbar next to the Start button, click Search, type “Task Manager”, then click Open.
- In the tab that appears, you can disable all applications you don’t need from the autorun. We recommend that you disable all programs except antivirus.
Thanks to this you can somewhat unload the system, which will have a positive effect on the computer’s performance.
The second way is to remove unnecessary programs. Here everything is simple: go to the control panel, then go to the tab “Programs” (sometimes it is called “Programs and Components”).
In it you can already remove unnecessary programs. But be careful not to remove system programs, because without them the system may not work properly.
The third way is to overclock your system. But this case is quite difficult, especially for inexperienced users and not always ends well. If you want to overclock your video card, download the program msi afterburner and work it out. The overclocking procedure is a very delicate matter.
The fourth way is to improve the performance of your PC by defragmenting your hard disk. You can’t defragment your SSD drive, you will only shorten its lifespan. You can defragment your hard drive without the use of third-party programs.
To do this, go into the program “This Computer” and right-click on the drive you want to optimize. Then click on the “Properties” tab.
In the window that appears, click on the “Tools” tab and then on “Optimize”. In the menu that appears, your drives will be displayed, you should select the one you want to defragment and then click on “Optimize”.
The fifth way is to update the drivers. It is desirable to install them manually, but if you do not know how or if you are lazy to look for them, you can use a utility such as DriverPack Solution, it will install all the necessary drivers automatically.
The sixth way is to disable some graphic effects. To do this, go to “Control Panel”, then to “System”, and then to “Advanced” and “Options”. In the window that appears, you can either manually uncheck some items or select the item “Ensure the best performance”.
How to clear the system of garbage?
Another reason why browser games can slow down is a clogged system. In general, we recommend cleaning your computer from junk files regularly, at least once a month. But what should be cleaned and how should it be done? First, just delete unnecessary programs and files, such as photos, music videos, documents, etc.
The second step is to use CCleaner. This program does a great job of cleaning your system. It is also recommended that you clean your Temp folders. These are where various temporary files are stored that are left after installing programs or games.
What to do if the Internet is slow?
Slow Internet speed can be caused by various factors: bad weather, a lot of people connected to one channel, weak signal, etc.
There are many problems with the Internet and each problem must be considered individually, so it is better to contact the Internet provider with a specific request.
