Super laggy, but says 60-120 FPS

by ottobunnycoder » Post

I have been experimenting with shaders lately, and now for some reason when I play Minetest, I get around 50-130 fps, but the game feels like it is running at 10-15 FPS... I am also expereincing a TON of input lag, meaning when I click a ton on my mouse, my keyboard lags behind, witch is not ideal for PVPing, witch I do a ton of on Capture the Flag.

first research the meaning of fps

frames per second ? - it just tells, that your graphic card is able to regenerate a new frame from the data given = the data don't need to be new, it could be the same pic, but just refresh very fast

the feeling of lag then maybe caused be missing, late update of the game data - mean server update slow, data transfer slow of with lost

so at all your experience can be true

maybe you should offer some more data to clarify
* own gaming rig hardware with maybe CPU and GPU % usage during this
* internet connection your side
* server you use (CtF I see in post)
* and the rtt you have to there (F5 debug show it) maybe compare with a manual ping to the server

then we might be able to confirm the problem and also find solutions.

You're a PvPer, do as the CS:GO/TF2 etc. pros do and play with minimum graphics so you get good performance.

My CPU is an i7-3770 I think (I forgot, because its been a while scence I upgraded it, and I have macOS so it'll just say i7 @3.1GHz) and a GT 640m Graphics card. I never have the problem when I turn off shaders (I still have input lag though)

Someone reported a similar problem here and found out it was caused by another app.

make a download test, best when you face this lag
as you are not alone in the world, also your internet connection is also not used by you alone, just next 500 meter is a concentrator ?, and from that point you SHARE a hopeful big enough connection with many others, and if some neighbours a movie freaks ... bad luck.
learn about mtr (travert command) and see what hop make most lost and rise by ping time

when in a server, check your fps and also F5 / debug rtt / ping shown
