What is Lag/Lag in video games?

This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
Lag is a term that in video games means a delay or delay that occurs between the interaction of the player with the game and its display on the screen. This poses one of the main challenges that can affect gameplay and negatively affect the game experience. Why do video games get laid? Below we will consider several reasons.

Delays in Internet connection.

This often happens in online multiplayer games, where delays in data transfer between the player's computer and the game's server can lead to logs and affect the accuracy of the player's actions.

Limited computer resources

If the player's computer does not have enough power to make the game work according to its system requirements, this can cause logs.

Problems with game optimization

Poor optimization of the game's software can lead to logs and reduce the performance of the game on the player's computer.

Problems with servers

In large online games where a large number of players connect to the same server, server problems can cause lag.
Lag can manifest itself in the form of delays when reacting to player commands, breaks in character movement, artifacts on the screen, or uneven frames per second (FPS).

How to deal with lags?

To combat lags, players can try things like reducing graphics settings, updating graphics card drivers, using a better internet connection, and making sure their computers meet the game's minimum requirements.
