"Frame Lag" with no frame drop

Pool Party Namı·6/27/2017, 7:48:05 AM·2 votes·995 views

Been noticing my frames staying either mostly consistent or at least as high as they usually are, though they do fluctuate a lot, but I felt like that was normal for my computer. Just within the last week, since last Tuesday or so, I've been noticing that I'm lagging/freezing but my frames are fine. Notice it especially when I'm staring at my character model. Anyone else getting this? Think it'll be fixed with a patch? It's only happening with League, I tested this, so I'm wondering if it's just a glitch or what.

I notice it, really only when I am streaming. when I'm not, typically its fine. If you are having problems, check your settings. IE: Vertical sync, Anti Aliasing, Character Inking, Shadows etc. I have all of those things off, run at high-ultra settings, and no problems whatsoever, if I am not streaming/recording games.

If you use Discord the latest Discord update broke games for me. Try closing it

It's probably packet loss. Open your terminal if you're using Mac or Linux or open your command prompt if you're using windows.

Type

ping 8.8.8.8

That ip is a google dns, it's publicly available for doing a bunch of things such at testing your ping, every line will tell you how much ping you do have, every skipped line is a lost packet, let it run for 5-10 minutes to have a good sample size, if you have any missing lines you have packet loss then, press ctlr+c to stop it, it should give you results below. If you have packet loss either check if your modem is working properly, if you have too many stuff attached to the same modem and if nothing of this works contact your internet service provider and report them the issue.

Also, if you think discord is the source of your problems try disabling "software accelleration", it uses your gpu instead of your cpu to give more resouces to discord and make it work smoother, but if you have a low end pc (like i do kek) you probably don't have the resources to support that.
