If you are facing random lag spikes or stutter in Soulmask, you aren’t alone players everywhere want it fixed. There is no particular or singular reason that you can pinpoint, for such FPS drops to occur. It could be due to your system not meeting the minimum requirements, your graphics card not supporting the game properly, or even connection issues with the server. Regardless of what the reason may be behind it, these are all the things that you can try to get it solved.
How to Fix FPS Drops, Lag Spikes, and Stutters in Soulmask
- Check your Ping & Server: One of the many reasons why you may not be able to play smoothly is because of an unstable connection. Check whether you are playing on the game’s official server or on a private server. If you are playing on official servers then the problem might be with your connection. You can fix that by refreshing your internet by restarting your router for a wireless connection or plugging out the Ethernet cable and plugging it in after a few seconds if you play wired.
- Check Private server RAM usage: In case you are playing on a private server, you need to check whether your system has enough resources to get the game’s server working. If the same system is hosting servers for multiple games then you might face this problem. Thanks to TheDave on Steam forums for this suggestion, you can check out their comment on this thread.
