Recommended Posts

Hello there ^^ (General Kenobi!!), today i'm here to let you know guys, how to avoid most of the problems when it comes at playing games in general. We are going to discuss ways to prevent any sort of bugs and performance drops that may be coused from an external source and not the game itself.

1- Always keep your drivers, bios and pc in overall up to date.

It's very important that you do this very often. Most of the drivers will pop up with notifications about it and they are easy to go. The most important one is your graphics drivers, this ones are the relation that your software has with your hardware, so it's important to have the fresh ones due to performance improovement, stability and bug corrections. You can always update your drivers, bios and other apps by going to their website. For example for the grapgics ones you can go to NVidia or AMD, for your bios you can go to your manufacturers website (Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, AsRock, etc) and so. If by doing this you run into problems you can almost always go roll back into a olver version that you know it worked fine for you.

2- Check your CPU and GPU temperatures.

There are many apps wich let you check this. This will give you hints whether why your pc is slowing down and not perform as expected. There are many ways to prevent this discussed in the next point.

3- Do a manteinance to your PC sometimes.

Your hardware will apreciate running clean and dust free. It will increase the lifespan of your components if you take care well of them. Change the thermal compound of your CPU and GPU, take away all the dust from the filters, fans and meshes and do some cable management.

4- Use Windows Defender instead of clucky free anti-virus.

All free anti-virus apps that i've seen are a huge impact to your performance and they do exactly the same thing as Windows Defender. Your PC it's safe if you don't go to the wrong sites and you click on the wrong things. Learn to be safe. The only app that i recommend that does something that no other free anti-virus does or Windows Defender is Malwarebytes.

5- Erase all the junk from your system and manage your resources.

Delete all the programs that you don't use, block Windows start apps, delete the files from %temp%, use CCleaner to clean your file system and registry entries, kill processes that you do not use, manage your RAM and CPU usage and many more thing s you think it's necessary to play comfortable. Also try do defrag your disk if you have an HDD, SSDs can't be defragmented.

6- Check your game instalations from time to time.

It's important to have your game client up to date, with no data missing or any kind of problems. If you detect trouble, try to reinstall and cleand temporary files.

7- Know your hardware limits.
