- If performing a clean boot does not work, closing programs that require bandwidth, like chat clients, streaming services, or web browsers, will also help as programs running in the background may cause your game to play choppy or cause other performance issues.
Note: There have been reports of antivirus programs causing issues with performance. You may want to check your antivirus settings or potentially look at changing your antivirus program if it is interfering with your performance.
