Why am I lagging?

Latency can be caused by many things and some simple suggestions can reduce the latency issue. The following is a list of programs that many players leave running in the background without turning them off:
 
1.     MSN / AIM / Instant Messaging Services
2.     Windows Automatic Updates
3.     Automatic Graphics Card and Driver Updaters
4.     iTunes and other media playing programs
5.     Outlook and its Automatic Updates / Send-Receive function
6.     Adobe / Flash Updaters
7.     Streaming sites and movie/music downloading programs
8.     Windows Explorer with a number of tabs/windows all open
9.     Automatic Anti-Virus / Pop-up Blocker Updaters and scans

Once those and any other programs are closed, 9Dragons should be running much more smoothly. Please also be aware that if your PC cannot handle high settings and you have set your setting to high, you can also experience latency issue as well. As a suggestion we suggest that you run it a lower setting as the game will run more smoothly although the graphics will not be as nice.
