Lag in Video Games Explained by the Developers of Apex Legends.
We’ve all experienced it – the frustration of lag in online multiplayer games. In this video, we dive deep into the causes of lag, how it affects gameplay, and potential solutions.
What exactly is lag? It’s the delay between your inputs and the response you see on screen. This is caused by the time it takes for data to travel to game servers and back. We break down ping, latency, packet loss, choke, and more.
See examples of laggy gameplay and learn why you might get killed behind cover. We analyze dev insights from games like Apex Legends to understand issues like dying behind cover and hits not registering.
Lag ruins the experience for both high ping and low ping players. While there’s no perfect solution, understanding the problem is the first step. Developers are making improvements through upgrades like the Steam Datagram Relay and more.
