Heya. I just wanna let you guys know that I’m having bad server ping issue.
When I logged in the public server with other people, my game lag so terribly until my friend on Steam ask me If I’m having ping issue, so I respond yes.
I’m using Windows with SDD and Ethernet cable in my PC, and I haven’t found a solution to this laggy problem.
Steam has removed the WTFast Gaming Private Network due to how bad the software is capable of.
I tested my ping from our official Internet hosting provider Bell Canada, and I have 2 ms, but Tower Unite is still lagging when I log inside the plaza.
I head to the official Tower Unite FAQs about my game performance being very poor, here’s what I think of it:
First and foremost, here are some programs that are reported as impeding performance in Tower Unite:
Medal (video clipping)
Razer Cortex (“game performance boosting”)
Consider shutting these programs down while playing Tower Unite, or even uninstalling them.
My response is I check my PC for uninstallation, which sadly for me:
I don’t have the video clipping Medal (not listed in my PC)
I have Razer Synapse & Chroma, but never Cortex (not installed in my PC).
Next came this part.
Here are some general steps to follow for troubleshooting this issue:
Disable workshop mods and player models in the content settings, and check if performance improves. This is because this content needs to be downloaded sporadically and could cause hitches. This is especially prevalent when you are playing in areas with many players that all could be using different player models.
Go through the graphics settings and see if reducing certain settings lead to drastic improvement. One mistake to make is unintentionally setting the resolution scale to 200, which would quadruple the GPU load. 100 is the default value.
Check if your system is actually using the GPU and not integrated graphics, assuming you have a dedicated graphics card installed on your system. In the case of an NVidia graphics card, this setting can be found in the NVidia control panel. However, Windows 10 has introduced such a GPU selection setting in the general Windows settings: Settings → Graphics settings (found by searching for ‘GPU’), and select a desktop app and find ‘Tower.exe.’ Then select ‘performance’ in the options dialog.
Check in Windows control panel → power management that your system is not running in some power-saving mode (or “balanced”), which could cause Windows to reduce overall power consumption of various parts of her system.
Go into task manager and check if there are programs running in the background that sporadically demand high CPU or GPU power. This could lead to sudden drops in performance in Tower Unite.
Check the disk that you have Tower Unite installed on for potential failures, most notably on HDD drives. Step #2 on this page will help finding errors on the drive: Check Bad Sector on HDD Windows 11 | 2024 Tutorial
My response to these steps:
I disabled all Workshop mods and player models, which (sometimes) reduces the lag.
TL;DR I don’t know how to put my GPU at 100.
I set my game at performance via my Win10 settings.
TL;DR I set my power management in performance mode.
TL;DR my game is consuming way too much memory, bane of my existance.
Don’t care.
I came back on Tower Unite by setting my FPS to 30 to test if the game is still having ping issue. My game made a small lag as a result.
