Developers do their best to ensure the best gameplay experience possible. And while their effort should be appreciated, this may not always be the case. Sometimes, for whatever reason, games are just riddled with technical problems and this can cause a myriad of issues. Frame rate dips and high ping has been recurring problem for a lot of people. The most common reason for this could be the user’s poor hardware and internet connection. However, even though it’s common, it’s not the only reason. A lot of times, the fault may lie with the developers too. The fact that a 3D free-to-play title like Honkai: Star Rail faces FPS drops and high ping is proof that developers don’t always get things right. Even people with high-end PCs have complained about this.
Honkai: Star Rail is the 4th entry in the franchise and was made by the team behind Genshin Impact. The reliability of the devs made fans buy into the hype. The hype is even somewhat justified, the gameplay is fun, immersive, and deceptively addictive. However, there are some major issues plaguing the game. Frame rate dips and high ping has made this unplayable for a lot of users. The constant lagging gameplay and lack of smoothness are annoying experiences. The game’s system requirements aren’t too high-end and yet, the game is unplayable even on the best current-day PCs. Developers need to act on this feedback and immediately solve the issue before more people tune out. For now, though, there are certain measures you can take to solve this problem.
Honkai Star Rail FPS drops & high ping issues: How to fix them
As mentioned above, the developers are yet to act on this issue. For now, though, there are some basic steps you can take to improve things. For starters, make sure your graphic card’s drivers are updated to the latest version. Most graphic cards are set to auto-update but still double-check anyway. Another option is lowering the video settings. This is unfortunate but it’s one of the few viable solutions for now. If needed – consider lowering the resolution too.
There are ways to deal with high ping too. Make sure your internet service has a good upload speed. Low latency/low ping relies on good upload speeds, even though most service providers focus on download speeds. You should also make sure that the in-game server selected is the closest one to your location. This will ensure better ping. Another solution is switching to a wired connection instead. You can also disable any third-party antivirus program since they might be hindering the game’s functioning.
Honkai: Star Rail is one of the most promising free-to-play games in the market right now but something must be done immediately to fix this issue. There’s no news on when the developers will work on and solve these underlying issues. For now, all we can do is hope for the best. Regardless, the solutions mentioned above should offer some relief. It’s important to know that these are just workarounds, and there is no guarantee they will work. Anyways, for news on Honkai: Star Rail and other new releases, check out DigiStatement.
