How to Kill Slow Game Connections Forever

SOLVED: Slow Gaming Due to Internet Connection

Science has proven that video games help reduce stress and can even be used to treat some types of depression. But, there is nothing that increases stress like a slow online game. Instead of solving puzzles, slaying orcs, playing football or saving the world you are watching a buffering message. It’s even worse when playing multiplayer games online. Your team, unit, or guild is depending on your help. Instead, because of lag, you risk ruining the entire mission. Sound familiar? Keep reading to see how you can get rid of all these nuisances and relax while playing video games online.

Why Is My Online Game so Slow?

There are three basic reasons for slow online gaming connections:

  1. There is an issue with the game server being overloaded.
  2. Your machine cannot handle the game graphics.
  3. Your internet connection is too slow (most likely).

Most online gaming services like Steam, Origin or PlayStation Network go to great lengths to make sure their servers are top of the line and ready to handle a lot of gamers.

Graphic issues aren’t a problem on mobile devices, and simply looking at the system requirements will tell you if your computer is equipped to handle your game.

So, most of the time a slow game connection comes down to your Internet. Most people only connect to the Internet through one channel. Everything runs to your location through a wired / Wi-Fi or 4G/LTE connection. If there is any issue with your signal, you run into lag problems. Games are constantly sending data packets back and forth between the server and your device. Any signal loss can ruin your gaming experience.

Speedify Fixes Slow Game Connections

Speedify solves the problem of slow game connections by changing the way you connect to the Internet. Instead of a single connection, Speedify allows your device (whether it’s a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone or any other device that can access the Internet) to use multiple Internet connections simultaneously. This brings an immense boost to your bandwidth and minimizes your latency. Games, even complex online multiplayer games run smoother with a stronger and more stable connection.

Speedify is also designed with auto failover. It runs in the background on your device, monitoring the quality of your Internet connections. If one connection becomes unstable or fails, all traffic is automatically rerouted through the other connection(s) until the failed connection can be reestablished. This all happens in the background without you having to do anything but enjoy your game.

Moreover, Speedify uses an industry-leading VPN for mobility infrastructure to provide you with not only a fast Internet connection, but also a secure connection. Speedify is built with cutting-edge encryption so that your data is kept secure. You are protected from compromised Wi-Fi networks and any prying eyes trying to lift your personal data.

Speedify has taken all the speed and security that once was only available to companies with deep pockets and full IT staffs and put it all in an app that works automatically.

How to Speed Up Gaming Connections with Speedify

So, if you can use more than one Internet connection from different networks where you’re gaming from, getting started with Speedify is very easy – just download the app and run it, as it will automatically detect all available connections.

  1. For desktop gaming (PC, laptop, Mac), the most common Internet combination would be Ethernet + Wi-Fi from a neighbor or a 4G dongle.
  2. For mobile gaming (smartphones, tablets), you already have Wi-Fi and 4G that you can combine.
  3. For gaming on consoles (Playstation, XBox, Nintendo), you can create a hotspot via your smartphone or laptop and connect the console through that Wi-Fi hotspot. This way, the console will benefit from your fast and secure Internet made available by Speedify.
