People playing on a laptop occasionally encounter the fact that the game starts to slow down. The movements of objects and characters become discrete, sometimes the game stops altogether, so it becomes simply impossible to continue. The reason for this may lie both in the device and in the game itself.

Step 1
The first mandatory step towards finding out why games on a laptop slow down is to check the installed versions for legitimacy. It's no secret that today's gaming market is saturated with a large number of pirated copies. Taking into account that, as a rule, licensed software is installed on laptops, it is quite logical to assume a situation of a conflict between a pirated copy of a game and a legal version of the operating system and your computer's drivers. You can check this by installing a licensed game.
Step 2
In the event that the braking effect does not depend on whether a legal copy of the game is running or not, you need to make sure that your laptop is powerful enough to run these games. This is usually pretty easy to spot. The slowdowns caused by the low performance of the laptop are characteristic of their constant, they occur immediately after the game is started. They appear during complex, dynamic scenes when a large amount of computer resources are needed. Incredible graphics, super powerful game engine, fantastic detail and a large number of objects make the insides of the computer work at maximum power. To solve this kind of problem, you usually have to either sacrifice quality settings (lower the resolution, disable anti-aliasing) or change the video card. If this does not help, you will have to look for a new, more powerful laptop.
Step 3
In addition to the listed and most common reasons for slowing down games on laptops, do not forget about checking the power saving of the hard drive. A large number of modern gaming programs from time to time turn to the hard drive to read the necessary data. However, the power-saving systems of the hard drive are designed in such a way that after a predetermined period of inactivity, they lower the speed of the hard drive or turn it off altogether. Thus, the game program finds itself in a situation where data reading is not available until the hard drive is turned on again. As a result, it appears as in-game braking for a few seconds. To solve this problem, simply turn off the power saving of the hard drive.
Step 4
Incorrect installation of drivers often leads to problems with video and sound. To fix this problem, you must reinstall the drivers. This is not difficult to do. Check which video card you have installed (usually such information is printed on the laptop case and in the configuration specification on the package) and download the installation package from the manufacturer's website.
Step 5
No less often there is also a situation in which the game starts successfully, without any remarks. However, after a certain time, it starts to seriously slow down. In such cases, the cause is usually overheating of the device. Due to the lack of free space and very dense circuitry, any laptop loses in power to a stationary computer with the same components. Naturally, the cooling of laptop components is also very difficult. In the event of overheating, a safety mechanism forcibly limits system performance to protect the processor from a crash. Solving the problem will require specialist intervention or scrupulous study of instructions for changing settings in industry forums.
