How to fix lag & stuttering in Content Warning

Dealing with Content Warning can become even more difficult if you experience issues with lag and stuttering. To address this problem, here are some tips for adjusting your settings to resolve it.

While running Content Warning may not be overly challenging, the excessive amount of shadows and constant running may greatly impact your framerate.

If you do not have a smooth experience, there is a higher chance of easily dying to monsters. However, there are instances where the situation is beyond your control. Therefore, here are some steps you can take to resolve lag and stuttering issues in Content Warning.

Tips for Enhancing Performance in Content Warning

Making enhancements in Content Warning will require adjusting options such as VSync and frame rate, and occasionally, reinstalling the game may be necessary.

These are the steps you can take to address any lag or stuttering problems:

Updating your preferences

In the Old World, there are three settings that you can adjust in order to potentially enhance performance: VSync, framerate, and overall graphics settings.

VSync is a feature that synchronizes the frame rate of a graphics card with the refresh rate of a monitor. This helps to prevent screen tearing and ensures smoother and more visually appealing gameplay.

Adjusting VSync can be a bit tricky as raising it may affect your framerate. Nevertheless, it can greatly improve performance by reducing lag and stuttering. If VSync is currently disabled, consider enabling it. On the other hand, if you are experiencing difficulties with it enabled, turning it off may greatly improve your experience.

Frame rate

It is crucial to adjust your framerate for optimal performance. By default, Content Warning sets the maximum framerate to 200, which can put a strain on your graphics card if it is not capable of handling it. It is recommended to lower the framerate to a level that your system can handle in order to avoid overworking it.

Overall graphics

Disabling Ambient Occlusion and Chromatic Aberration can improve performance in the game. Although the overall appearance may not vary significantly, you should experience fewer lag issues in areas where they were previously present.

Remove your mods

Modding a game can be an enjoyable experience, but it can also result in significant performance problems. This is particularly true for Content Warning mods that have not been fully configured. To avoid potential issues, it may be wise to temporarily disable these mods until they have been properly optimized.

Avoid random lobbies

It is possible that your lag problems are caused by connection issues rather than any settings on your system that can be altered.

A high influx of players is causing some server issues.

Given the current network issues with overloaded servers, it is recommended to play solo or with friends to minimize significant network lag on your end.

Reinstalling the game might help

If you have completed all of these steps and are still encountering issues, you may want to consider reinstalling the game or verifying your game files to ensure that everything was properly installed during the initial installation.

It is essential to keep in mind that Content Warning is a relatively new development, and developers are continuously releasing updates to fix any issues in the game. Continue reporting any bugs you encounter, and any lag or stuttering that is out of your control should be resolved soon.
