🐢 Reducing Lag & Improving Performance

Lag can make survival games frustrating, especially during combat or group play. There are two main types of lag you might experience: FPS lag (your device struggling to keep up) and ping/network lag (your internet connection causing delays). Here’s how to fix both.

🎮 FPS Lag (Frame Rate Drops)

  • Happens when your device’s hardware isn’t powerful enough or is under heavy load.

  • Symptoms: game looks “choppy,” low FPS, animations stutter.

✅ Fixes:

  • Lower graphics settings in Roblox.

  • Close background programs that use CPU, GPU, or memory.

  • Keep your graphics drivers and operating system updated.

  • Make sure your device meets Roblox’s system requirements.

🌐 Ping/Network Lag

  • Caused by high latency between your device and the Roblox servers.

  • Symptoms: actions are delayed, rubber-banding, teleporting characters, or disconnects.

✅ Fixes:

  • Use a wired Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi for maximum stability.

  • If on Wi-Fi, stay close to your router for a stronger signal.

  • Avoid downloads, video streaming, or other heavy internet use while playing.

  • Pick game servers closer to your region whenever possible.

📱 Mobile-Specific Tips

  • Close all other apps before playing to free up memory.

  • Use a stable Wi-Fi connection rather than mobile data when possible.

  • Lower your screen brightness and enable battery saver modes only if they don’t interfere with performance.

  • Restart your device occasionally to clear cached memory.

⚙️ Roblox Graphics Settings

Roblox provides built-in settings to balance performance and visuals:

  • Automatic (Recommended): Roblox adjusts graphics automatically to match your device. Best for most players.

  • Manual Settings: You can adjust graphics quality (1–10) yourself.

    • Lower settings (1–4): Smoother gameplay, especially on older PCs or mobile devices.

    • Medium settings (5–7): Good balance between visuals and performance.

    • High settings (8–10): Better visuals but may cause FPS drops unless you have a strong device.

💡 Tip: Start with Automatic mode. If you still experience FPS lag, switch to Manual and lower the graphics slider until gameplay feels smooth.

✅ Summary:
If the game feels choppy, lower graphics or close background apps. If actions are delayed, focus on internet stability. Using Roblox’s automatic graphics settings is the easiest option, but adjusting manually may give you better results depending on your device.
