Disord lags during the game

If you use voice chat in Discord during a game on a mobile device and brakes appear, unfortunately, there are no methods that allow you to solve the situation. Most likely, it is associated with the excess of the load on the operating system and only the unloading of RAM or the acquisition of a more powerful device will help here.

For more information on using Windows Compatibility Mode, you will find in other instructions from our author, which also describes the alternative embodiment of this function.

Method 3: Disconnection of the game Overlee

The function of the game overlay in the discor is automatically activated, and the user itself is enough to connect to a text or voice channel during the game to receive notifications. If you do not use Overlay, we recommend turning it off to reduce the load on the operating system.

1. To do this, in the main window of the messenger, click on the gear icon, thereby moving to the "User Settings" window.



2. Find the Overley section located in the "Game Settings" block.



3. Deactivate the switch at the "Enable Injection Overlay" item.

Now notifications and images of the voice chat participants will not interfere with you during the game and can remove Discord brakes if they were associated just with an overlay.

Method 4: Turning off the hardware acceleration

The hardware acceleration function is designed to provide more smooth operation of the discord by using graphic adapter power. The developers warn that because of this, the FPS drop may appear, and there will be not only a program, but also a running game. Fortunately turns off the hardware acceleration in just a couple of clicks.

1. In the same menu with the account settings, go to the "Appearance" section.



2. In the "Advanced" block, find the "hardware acceleration" item and move the switch to the inactive state.

Method 5: Cleaning Kesha

When the program is running in the folder with its files, the cache is accumulating for storing user data and their fast loading. Sometimes clustering such files that have not been cleaned automatically after the loss of their relevance, it affects the speed of the software and leads to the appearance of friezes. In this case, manual cache cleaning will help:

1. Open the "Run" utility (Win + R) and write the% APPDATA% command.



2. In the "Explorer" window that appears, you are interested in the catalog with the name of the software.



3. In it, find the "Cache" and "Local Storage" directory.



4. Switch to folders, highlight their contents and delete it.

Method 6: Disabling unnecessary functions

Discord supports additional confidentiality and data processing features that practically do not carry any benefit, but can provoke the appearance of lags during the gameplay. We will analyze those that can be turned off, and you decide for yourself whether it is worth doing.

1. Go to the messenger and click on the gear icon in the main window.



2. Open the confidentiality settings category.



3. Disconnect secure private messages so that when you receive them, the program has not spent resources for scanning for the presence of a frank content.



4. Below in the window, find the block "How we use your data". All of this can be disabled to save system resources, so familiarize yourself with the purpose of functions and decide which you do not want to use.



5. Select Section "Integration".



6. Disconnect automatic scanning to discovery accounts. This feature is needed extremely rare, but analyzes each application, lowering the speed of the software.

Method 7: Updating additional Windows libraries

Additional Windows libraries are used by different programs to ensure the functioning of various tools. Discord has not been an exception in this regard and requires the DirectX, Visual C ++ and .NET Framework on the computer. If in Windows 10 this case is a little simpler, because at least the same DirectX is updated automatically, and the .NET Framework can be downloaded via the Windows Update Center, then in previous versions of the OS, all this has to be installed independently. Therefore, we recommend using the following links to download the latest versions of the library mentioned.

Method 8: Updating Video Card Drivers

The video card performs not the last role when the discord is operating, since the program is constantly referring to it for the processing of graphic elements and uses resources to provide speed. If there are no last versions of the driver for the graphics adapter on the computer, there may be insignificant brakes and various errors when interacting with the messenger under consideration. Check for updates using any convenient method for this.

Method 9: Deleting unused hot keys

This method is located at the end, because it helps only a small percentage of users and extremely specific. At first glance, it seems that the saved key combinations can not affect the brakes in the Discord, but some users after removing unnecessary combinations of hangs are immediately disappeared. This can be associated with the occurrence of bugs in the program itself, so if you have unused hotkeys, we advise you to remove them.

1. In the main program window, go to "Settings".



2. Open the Hot Keys section.



3. Mouse over the block with an unnecessary key and click on the button that appears with the cross button to delete. Do the same with all other custom combinations.
