Fix High Ping & Lag Spikes on PC – Roblox

Enable Performance Stats

High Ping and Lag Spikes are usually linked to the Roblox server that you are playing. Or at times it can really be related to your own personal internet connection. That is why you should always have the Enable Performance Stats enabled.

You are able to do this inside the Roblox game itself. So just open up the game and then navigate to the menu. In menu you will open up the Settings Tab and and here, right under the Graphics field, is where you can find the Performance Stats. You will just need to make it ON.

This will allow you to find out everything that you need to know about the internet connectivity and ping number while you are in-game. Usually, it is a window that shows up on the top right corner of the screen.

Disable VPN

This is just for those users who might be using a VPN to protect their internet browsing. If you are using it, we recommend that you go ahead and turn it off. When you have your VPN turned off, the game will connect to the closest and home connection that you currently have.

Internet Connections Troubleshooter

You will navigate to the System Settings in the Windows Search Bar that can be found in the bottom left corner of your screen. Here just write System Settings and open it up. Once you open it, you will go ahead and press the Troubleshoot option.

Resource Monitor

In some cases, even some applications that are working in the background of your PC can drastically lower your internet speed and give you a lot of High Ping and Lag inside Roblox. That is why you will need to monitor them.
