Solutions<\/b><\/h2>\n

Solution 1: Update The Game On Steam<\/b><\/h3>\n

Automatic update is a very helpful feature in <\/span>Steam<\/b> which keeps the game up-to-date by constantly downloading new updates whenever they are available. However, some people opt out of using it out of fear of high bandwidth consumption. However, if the game doesn\u2019t work at the optimum level, it\u2019s better to turn them on.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Right-click on the game in the <\/span>Steam<\/b> library and select <\/span>Properties<\/b>.
    \n    \"image1\"<\/a>
    \n    \"image3\"<\/a>
    \n    \"image2\"<\/a>
    \n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Opening<\/a>
    Opening up Properties<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n
  2. Switch to the <\/span>UPDATES<\/b> tab, and select either <\/span>Always keep this game up to date<\/b> or <\/span>High Priority – Always auto-update this game ASAP<\/b>.
    \n    \"image4\"<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Click on <\/span>OK<\/b> and reboot the <\/span>Steam<\/b> client for changes to take effect.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Solution 2: Update The Graphics Driver<\/b><\/h3>\n

    As always it\u2019s advisable to keep the graphics driver up-to-date in order to take the full advantage of the <\/span>GPU<\/b> in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Nivida<\/b><\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Navigate to the following web URL:
      \n<\/span>      www.nvidia.com\/Download\/index.aspx<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
    2. Click on the <\/span>GRAPHICS DRIVERS <\/b>button under <\/span>Option 2<\/b>.
      \n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      \"Click<\/a>
      Click GRAPHICS DRIVERS<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n
    3. Download, install and launch the application to receive the latest update files related to the currently installed <\/span>Graphics adapter<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      AMD<\/b><\/h4>\n
        \n
      1. Navigate to the following webpage:
        \n<\/span>        support.amd.com\/en-us\/download<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
      2. Click on the <\/span>DOWNLOAD NOW<\/b> button under the <\/span>Automatically Detect and Install Your Driver<\/b> heading.
        \n        \"image6\"<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Once the application has been downloaded and subsequently installed, launch it to receive the latest updates concerning the <\/span>AMD<\/b> card on your computer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Intel<\/b><\/h4>\n
          \n
        1. Navigate to this URL:
          \n<\/span>          http:\/\/www.intel.com\/content\/www\/us\/en\/support\/detect.html<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
        2. Click on the <\/span>Download now<\/b> button under the <\/span>Step 1: Download and Run<\/b> section.
          \n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          \"Click<\/a>
          Click Download now<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n
        3. Now you should download and install the application which will, upon launching, scan for and download any updates that are available for the <\/span>Intel Graphics Card<\/b> on your system.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

          Solution 3: Install DirectX Runtime Environment<\/b><\/h3>\n

          DirectX<\/b> runtime environment consists of a set of files which are required by the game to help it run properly. Usually , he operating system has some of its files by default, but it\u2019s not enough for running a full fledged <\/span>3D<\/b> game with optimum performance. This is why it is highly recommended to download the full package from <\/span>Microsoft<\/b>\u2019s website to get the best out of the system when playing the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Navigate to the following webpage:\u00a0<\/span>https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/details.aspx?id=35<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
          2. Select the language and click <\/span>Download<\/b> to launch the downloading of the files.
            \n            \"image8\"<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
          3. Launch the downloaded application and install it. Finally, restart the system for the recent changes to be permanently applied.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Solution 4: Closing Unnecessary Programs That Consume the Bandwidth<\/b><\/h3>\n

            The game is an online based multiplayer game, and thus it requires at least an <\/span>ADSL<\/b> connection with <\/span>1mbps<\/b> download speed and <\/span>512kbps<\/b> upload speed for a smooth, stutter less experience during the entire course of gameplay. However, sometimes despite having met the requirements, the game may lag to the point where it simply becomes unable to play it. In this case, you should check how the bandwidth is being consumed by the system and its applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Stop all the ongoing unnecessary processes in the computer. Right-click anywhere on the taskbar and select <\/span>Task Manager<\/b>.
              \n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

              \"Opening<\/a>
              Opening up Task Manager<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n
            2. Switch to the <\/span>Performance<\/b> tab.
              \n              \"image10\"<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
            3. Now make sure the <\/span>Ethernet<\/b> meter is set to <\/span>0<\/b>.
              \n              \"image11\"<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
            4. If it\u2019s not set at 0, then click on <\/span>Open Resource Monitor<\/b>.
              \n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

              \"Click<\/a>
              Click Open Resource Monitor<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n
            5. Now click the <\/span>Network<\/b> tab.<\/span><\/li>\n
            6. In the <\/span>Process with Network Activity<\/b> area, click the <\/span>Total<\/b> column to sort the applications by their total bandwidth consumption (in descending order). Now right-click any bandwidth hogging process and select <\/span>End Process<\/b>. Do the same for all the processes that need to be closed.
              \n              \"image14\"<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Remember that it simply isn\u2019t possible to close <\/span>svchost.exe<\/b> as it\u2019s a system app. If it is consuming a lot of bandwidth then it probably means <\/span>Windows<\/b> is being updated. Wait until the update is over and then restart the computer to recover maximum bandwidth to the system.<\/span><\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              Solution 5: Tweak The Game\u2019s Settings<\/b><\/h3>\n

              PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds<\/b>\u2019s settings can be adjusted by sacrificing the visual quality in return for a lag free game experience. To adjust the settings of the game, either use <\/span>Windows Explorer<\/b> or the native game menu. The following guide uses the <\/span>Windows Explorer<\/b> with the support of <\/span>Notepad++<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Navigate to <\/span>C:\\Users\\%userprofile%\\AppData\\Local\\TslGame\\Saved\\Config\\WindowsNoEditor
                \n                \"image15\"<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n
              2. Find the <\/span>GameUserSettings.ini<\/b> file which is represented by an icon which has a cog on the <\/span>Notepad<\/b> icon. Open it with <\/span>Notepad++<\/b> by right-clicking it.
                \n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                \"Open<\/a>
                Open the file in Notepad<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n
              3. Now reduce the View Distance<\/b> to <\/span>1<\/b>, <\/span>Shadow Quality<\/b> to either <\/span>0<\/b> or <\/span>1<\/b>, <\/span>Texture Quality<\/b> to <\/span>2<\/b>, <\/span>Effects Quality<\/b> to <\/span>2<\/b> and <\/span>Foliage Quality<\/b> to <\/span>1<\/b>. Basically <\/span>View Distance<\/b> defines how far the user can see in the game, the higher the value the further the user can see. Since this is an online game reducing <\/span>View Distance<\/b> will give a significant disadvantage, as it literally hides the distant enemies. <\/span>Shadow Quality<\/b> defines how detailed the shadows of the objects are in the game whereas <\/span>Texture Quality<\/b> defines how detailed the different objects will appear. For instance, a higher <\/span>Texture Quality<\/b> allows for viewing the objects in great detail and vice versa. <\/span>Effects Quality<\/b> defines how detailed the various effects in the game world are, such as fire, smoke, clouds etc. Finally, <\/span>Foliage Quality<\/b> defines how detailed the foliage in the game environment are. All of these values can be adjusted as per the user\u2019s convenience as well as their computer\u2019s hardware specs.
