Lethal Company is a pretty basic game that has recently shot to popularity based on its unique gameplay and graphics style. But! While it is super fun and can run on low-end devices with basic graphics cards (for the most part) there are some major issues with Multiplayer lag, stuttering, low FPS and general lag. Which all typically takes away from your gaming experience. At this stage, there aren't any solutions that will work 100% of the time for 100% of players but some people will get some decent results, depending on the hardware of course.
How do you fix Stuttering, Low FPS, and Lag in Lethal Company?
The first thing you need to do if you are having game issues, performance issues, and general lag issues is to update your graphics drivers. In this instance, I highly suggest a clean installation of GPU drivers using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) This will clear everything and make sure there aren't any lingering bugs, corruptions or compatibility issues.
Follow these steps:
- Visit the official website of your computer or graphics card manufacturer to get the latest graphics drivers.
- Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to completely uninstall your current graphics drivers.
- After the uninstallation, proceed to install the new drivers you downloaded.
- This guarantees a clean installation, minimizing the chances of facing generic driver issues.
- Once your computer restarts, you should be able to play Lethal Company without any complications, assuming the servers are operational.
Make sure Windows knows to Run Lethal Company in High Performance Mode.

- Open Windows Settings by pressing Windows Key + I.
- Next, go to Display > Graphics.
- On this page click the Add Desktop App button and select the Lethal Company.exe file inside the installation folder:
