If you are experiencing noticeable frame drops (lag) or lower performance, this guide provides steps to optimize your system. Performance impacts can be complex, but these steps address the most common causes.

Performance Expectation

External cheats impact performance. Do not expect the exact same frame rate you achieved before using the software, as system resources are required to run the external software.
1

Kill Unnecessary Background Programs

Before launching your game, ensure all unneeded programs are closed.
  • This is especially true for browsers, which often consume significant CPU and RAM even when minimized.
  • Close other resource-heavy software like Discord (streaming), or video editing tools running in the background.
2

Update Your Graphics Driver

Ensure your graphics card is running the latest drivers, as these often contain critical game and performance optimizations.
Alternatively, you can use Driver Booster to update all your system drivers automatically: https://www.iobit.com/en/driver-booster.php.

Cap Your In-Game FPS

Uncapped frame rates can sometimes lead to instability and stuttering.
  • Enable VSync or use an in-game frame limit that is slightly below your monitor’s refresh rate (e.g., 60 FPS, 120 FPS, 144 FPS).
  • This helps stabilize frame times.
4

Disable High-Impact Cheat Options

If you have generally slower hardware, certain cheat features can significantly impact FPS.
  • Avoid enabling features like Skeleton FPS.
  • Do not set very high ESP ranges (e.g., limit Player FPS to a maximum range like 500m instead of 1000m).
5

Reinstall Windows for System Freshness

If you are running an outdated version of Windows or if the last installation was years ago, your system performance is likely degraded by “trash” files, background services, and outdated drivers.
  • A full Windows reinstall is often the best solution for restoring peak performance.
