Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is the new non-violent battle royale by Mediatonic. And just like in many online games, players can face lag problems while playing Fall Guys. Lagging is a latency issue that causes a delay with the avatar while playing.
There isn’t much you can do to reduce lag if the problem is a slow internet network, but switching to a wired connection will allow you to use your full bandwidth and have a more stable connection.
Latency is also determined by the distance between you and the game’s server. It’s recommended that you play on a server that’s closest to where you are, so choose one in the same country as you.
Due to the high demand after Fall Guys’ full launch on Aug. 4, the developers had to deal with several server issues. So if you’re experiencing lag issues right now in Fall Guys, the problem could have to do with the game’s server.

Possible fixes
Fix one: Restart your modem
This is a fast fix that’s almost a cliché, but it’ll clear the cache that’s been accumulating, especially if your device hasn’t been switched off in a long time.
Fix two: Increase the priority of Fall Guys from the Task Manager
When using applications like Google Chrome, Discord, Spotify, or a video game such as Fall Guys at the same time, your PC will prioritize which application to run with the most power. After closing them, there will still be background functions running, so prioritize the game to try to improve your lag problem.
Fix three: Disable your antivirus software
The software may impact your bandwidth, slowing down your download speed. You can try to disable any security software that might be running on your computer before playing.
Fix four: Change your Discord configuration
Many people play while using Discord. The application can reduce your system’s performance as well. Here’s what you can change to solve the Discord interference:
