Disable Microsoft Security Essential Real-time Updates<\/b><\/h2>\n

The first thing you can do to get rid of lags is by disabling automatic updates for <\/span>Windows<\/b>. The update feature will automatically download each new update and make the connection slow.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can disable it by going to <\/span>services.msc<\/b> and disabling <\/span>Windows Update service<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Restart PC & Steam with Admin Rights<\/b><\/h2>\n

If <\/span>Agony<\/b> still runs slow, then simply restart the <\/span>PC<\/b> and then again connect to the <\/span>Steam<\/b> engine. Sometimes the game is only lagging and freezing because of a cache issue within <\/span>Steam<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/i><\/b><\/span> Make sure that you are restarting <\/span>Steam<\/b> with administrative privileges. If you are not sure how to do it, then simply right-click on the <\/span>Steam<\/b> executable file and click the <\/span>Run as administrator<\/b> option.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Disk Cleanup & Delete Temp Files<\/b><\/h2>\n

Some users who have sorted out the lag and freeze issue with <\/span>Agony<\/b> in <\/span>Windows<\/b> have recommended others to clean the disk. You can use the native <\/span>Disk Cleanup<\/b> utility to do so easily.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go to the <\/span>Start<\/b> and search for <\/span>Disk Cleanup<\/b>. Open it from the <\/span>Search Results<\/b> and now all that needs to be done is selecting the disk in which you\u2019ve installed the game and clicking <\/span>OK<\/b> to launch the cleanup. By the way, there would be no harm done it you perform this task for other disks as well!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Repair Steam<\/b><\/h2>\n

Another way to reduce lag is by repairing the <\/span>Steam<\/b> software.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is how to do it:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Press the <\/span>Windows Key<\/b> + <\/span>R<\/b> to bring up the <\/span>Run<\/b> dialog.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Type in this command:<\/span>
    \n<\/span>“C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\bin\\SteamService.exe” \/repair<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Launch <\/span>Steam<\/b> and check if the issue has been resolved.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note:<\/i><\/b><\/span> You will need administrator privileges to run the <\/span>Steam<\/b> command, which will, by the way, require a few minutes to work.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>If the error returns after restarting the system, simply run the process again.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Uncheck LAN Settings<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Some gamers fixed the freezing issue by unchecking <\/span>LAN<\/b> settings in <\/span>Internet Options<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Open <\/span>Control Panel<\/b> and go to <\/span>Internet Options<\/b>. Click the <\/span>Connections<\/b> tab and then click <\/span>Lan Options\/Settings<\/b>. Now uncheck <\/span>Auto-check settings<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    That\u2019s it. Now run <\/span>Steam<\/b> again to see if things have been normalized.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Change the Graphics Settings<\/b><\/h2>\n

    For some users, changing the graphics settings helped solve the issue. You can do the same. Simply go to the settings and turn the graphics to lower resolution. Don\u2019t forget to turn off shadows because that can increase the load on <\/span>GPU<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Once you have turned the graphics off, restart the system and then launch the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Get an SSD<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Sometimes, the hard drive is slow or in bad health. That can also make the game slow. To solve that problem, simply get a better <\/span>SSD<\/b>. An <\/span>SSD<\/b> offers improved performance over the traditional <\/span>HDD<\/b>s and is a recommended option for gamers who play <\/span>HD<\/b> games.<\/span><\/p>\n

    That\u2019s it. These are some tips to improve <\/span>Agony<\/b> gameplay on <\/span>Windows<\/b>. You can try some of these settings even if you play the game on <\/span>Xbox<\/b> or <\/span>PS4<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
