Now I'm sure some of you forumers are used to people complaining about lag and people shouting "ROBLOX FIX YUR LAG OR I GON QUIT" something immature like that. I'll be honest and say ROBLOX does need a serious update to fix it.
First off lag on ROBLOX doesnt make sense. You can go to a game with 100-200 thousands parts, 15 scripts running, and have about 30 people playing it with no lag. But a game with 3,000 parts and one script (which is usually admin)lags and has shutdowns all the time? To me that just does not make since.
Also I know many people that have only a year old computer that lag like crazy whenever they try to join in a game, and have fairly decent internet connections. The only way for anyone to not "Lag" on ROBLOX is to have a new gaming computer and really fast internet connection. Sorry ROBLOX, that is not the case. Sure most DEVs probably have these gaming computers but most of ROBLOX doesn't. The site is aimed at kids you expect them to have the newest things?
As my suggestion for ROBLOX is to dial back on the updates, or fix what is going on now so that most computers can handle ROBLOX cleanly. Because if this lag continues to grow, nobody will play ROBLOX and it would die off like any other game. |

Support! I used to be able to play ROBLOX without any lag on pretty much any game, but now it's too hard because the lag is too extreme. And it's not just a product of my computer getting older. |

I can usually play games at detail 7 up to 10 in a majority of games so lag isn't really a issue for me. You really only need a 300 dollar computer to decrease the lag by a TON so if your parents can shell out 300 dollars so you can get a new computer, ask them and I'm sure they would love to help because honestly, they probably use your computer to.

@jjj Not everyone person on ROBLOX can afford a new computer to just play games on it. |

You can't 100% delag a game. |

@ Math I'm not saying to get rid of all lag, I'm saying just to reverse some updates that may reduce the lag level by quite a bit |

Also this makes no sense. One of my friends has several games on his computer. Mostly Steam games. But also iRacing and rFactor. Everytime he plays those games h he has no lag but he lags on ROBLOX terribly. And iRacing and rFactor always update like ROBLOX, and take up 3x more space on a computer than what ROBLOX does. |

The one idea that is in this post is telling them not to keep improving ROBLOX, so no support. |
|
|
Is this topic in WNTS? Because if not, then it should be.
Stop complaining about lag and RQ already. |
|
|
I think that ROBLOX should improve, but right now it is not. More people each day find it hard to play ROBLOX because their computers cannot handle it. So people quit everyday because they cannot play it anymore. And I am not going to "RQ" |

Having exact same problem, I have a huge chunk of memory left, and I have a good ram, but it is really really really slow |

Yes, I agree. My computer is only one year old, and I used to be able to play roblox fine. But now I can't play at all because it just lags and I can't join any games anymore. I hope they fix this issue soon. |

I know my PC runs ROBLOX pretty well, but good point. The only time I get lad at 10 are games like ATF, Showcases, dat kind of stuff. |

Much lag will be fixed i bet i Roblox makes a 64 bit version of the launcher. |
|

Yes, I lag also, it's in EVERY game... not just one. It's a roblox issue, let's wait until they "update" it... |
|

I haven't lagged in ROBLOX for years until yesterday, ROBLOX takes up more than 70% cpu(on my laptop) when I open ROBLOX and my laptop costed me about 2.1 grand. I've tried to exit out other useless programs but it doesn't work, any solutions?

I must got a good pc..

Think about how graphics work. Parts are drawn on your screen in polygons, these polygons vary in amount depending on the kind of part, with round parts and rounded parts requiring more polygons to draw the curves. The basic part requires 6 faces, and that's six polygons. Now when you have 100k parts, that's at least 600k polygons that your computer has to render, plus dynamic shadows, and if enabled, anti aliasing and sun rays. That's a lot of work your computer has to do if you don't have a good computer. Now I'm not sure if your 3k part game with one script actually crashes as much as you say, but you have to consider how efficient scripts are as well. Lua is a high level language, which means it's compiled by an interpreter as it is read, which means it's marginally slower and laggier. Large scripts without taking lag into the account can make a game run very slowly. Now onto the internet part.
When you move in a game, your computer sends a signal to the server, and the server notes your player position, and sends it to other clients. The problem? Everyone's connection. If you have 200ms ping (a decent connection), and someone else has say 300ms, then that means your perception of that player moving is not real time, but a half a second behind, as your connection takes that time to get to the server, and their connection to reach the server as well makes it add time. The problem is, not everyone has the best internet, and with multiple devices online, it can be very slow.
It's not all ROBLOX's responsibility to cut lag either. Developers who are aware of lag when creating their games can put in place methods to reduce the apparent lag and make the game run smoother. Some of these smaller games by inexperienced developers can be poorly optimized and can run very slowly as well
So, Tl;Dr, it's not ROBLOX's fault, but rather the way graphics renders, internet connection of everyone, and developers. |

If you have lag is could be your Internet. Or it could be lagging if you play on your mom's 10 year old Dell. |
