If you play Fortnite, CS: GO, Valorant, or LoL and you are struggling with increased ping or lag, it is worth checking your Discord settings.


Recently, more and more people are pointing out that Discord uses a lot of resources and it’s not about CPU usage, but the Internet. It is especially acute for people who use DC all the time on mobile devices.

It can also be a nuisance for people who play and do not have fast internet. If you’ve been having problems lately, it’s worth taking a look at your Discord settings.

What to look for?
