Most players leave 15–30% of their performance on the table in Fragpunk. Below is the exact order we tune systems on the bench, what each change buys you, and how to verify it instead of trusting placebo.
Tighten the network path
Ping spikes and packet loss read as 'lag' but feel like death-behind-walls in Fragpunk. Wired beats wireless every time for consistency.
Use Ethernet, pick the closest reliable server region, and enable QoS on your router to prioritise game traffic over downloads on the same line.
- Ethernet over Wi-Fi (or 5GHz + DFS channel if you must)
- Closest stable server region, not just lowest ping
- Router QoS / gaming mode prioritising your PC
- Disable background updates and cloud sync while playing
Verify it actually worked
Never trust the average FPS number alone. Watch 1% and 0.1% lows and frame-time consistency in Fragpunk — that's what 'smooth' really means.
Run the same replay or aim-trainer routine before and after, capture with a frame-time overlay, and only keep changes that flatten the graph.
- Benchmark the same scene before/after
- Track 1% lows, not just average FPS
- Watch the frame-time line — flatter is better
- Change one thing at a time so you know what moved the needle
- ✓Ethernet over Wi-Fi (or 5GHz + DFS channel if you must)
- ✓Benchmark the same scene before/after
