Solution 3: Tencent Gaming Buddy Settings (for mobile)

The default settings of Tencent Gaming Buddy may differ to the specs of your system, due to which it can cause the lag for your PUBG Mobile game. By changing the settings into more relatable to your system can help you get more fps and better performance overall in the emulator.

1. Open Tencent Gaming Buddy, go to “Settings”.

2. Select “Engine” and check, the default rendering mode will be “Smart mode”, but smart mode actually messes up cache directory.

   Or
   Select “DirectX+” (If you have a better CPU).
4. If you have dedicated GPU (NVidia or AMD) tick “Prioritize Dedicated GPU” if you only have “Intel Graphics” then untick it
5. Keep the memory always half of what you have
   Note: If you have 4GB RAM then half will be 2GB, Same if 8GB then put 4GB, always half of what you have

7. In “Display Quality” you should tick “Smooth”, as it removes shadows and shader to help you for lag.

8. Click “Save”, run game now and check the lag.

Solution 4: In-Game settings of Pubg Mobile (for mobile)

Every game has the settings option inside the game, where you can adjust the Video, Audio or Graphics settings to make the game playable for yourself. In PUBG Mobile settings you will find many tabs for different settings and one of them is the “Graphics” tab where you can make your game smooth or increase FPS for the game. There are also options for quality of picture where you can select whether you want to have a more colorful style or realistic and so on. For lag, we will be only adjusting four options

1. Go to “Settings”
2. Click on “Graphics” tab
3. Set graphics to “Smooth” and the frame rate to “Extreme”
4. Disable the “Anti-aliasing” and “Auto-adjust graphics” both

Solution 5: Compatibility of the game (for mobile)

5. Click “Apply” and “OK”

Solution 6: Increasing the Priority in Task Manager (for PC and Mobile)

Whenever you start the game through Tencent Gaming Buddy you can go to “Task Manager” and make the priority of the game to higher than normal. Increasing priority is telling your system to give this program more power than others.

1. Run the game then go to “Task Manager”, go to “Details”
2. You will find “AndroidEmulator.exe” with the Tencent gaming buddy logo, Right click it and set priority to “Above Normal” or “High” so it provides more CPU and memory to it.
   Note: For PUBG PC you can do the same and set the priority after you start the game.

3. Now check lag in the game.
