Modern games place serious demands on computers and require great graphics performance. Slowdowns in graphics applications can occur due to the inadequacy of their requirements to the computer. It can also be associated with some software problems in the graphics product itself or unstable operation of the operating system.
Software reasons for inhibition
Braking in computer games can occur due to the overflow of the computer's operating system with various data. The software part may simply not have time to process the requests that the application makes, due to the large number of files and processes running at the same time.
Games require a lot of system resources, and therefore it is recommended not to run any applications at the same time as the game.
To fix the problem of lagging in games, try defragmenting your hard drive. Right-click on the item "Logical drive C:" in the "My Computer" section ("Start" - "Computer"). In the window that appears, use the "Service" - "Defragment" tab. To start the procedure, first select the "Analysis" item so that the system analyzes the need for the procedure. If the program window displays "Fragmented 0%", then defragmentation is unnecessary.
To clean the operating system from unnecessary data, install the CCleaner utility by downloading the installer file from the program's official website. Install it and run it using the shortcut on your desktop. After that, go to the "Cleaning" section. Highlight the required parameters and data that you would like to remove from your system. Click the Analyze button and then Cleanup. After the procedure, go to the "Startup" section and remove unnecessary programs that run along with the system.
Before starting the game, make sure you have free space on your hard disk.
Restart your computer and start your graphics application. If the game still lags, the issue may be due to your computer's hardware.
Hardware causes of braking
Compare the system requirements printed on the back of the game disc box with your PC's hardware. If the computer does not meet the specified parameters, the game will slow down in any case and it will hardly be possible to play it. If the system requirements are lower than those of your computer's components, but the game still does not function well, dust the computer. Dust adversely affects the operation of the equipment, which can lead to various freezes and unstable operation.
Try to start the game and go to the graphics settings using the appropriate menu item. Disable anisotropic filtering, anti-aliasing, reduce texture quality to "Medium" or "Low" values. Experiment with the rest of the options available in the settings. Restart the game and check the result of the actions performed.
