The 3 stacked rectangles in the top left corner of NutCrackNutThrow screenshot means the framerate is dropping below 60fps. If the framerate drops below 60fps there will be network lag because the game is designed to run at 60fps or higher.
Some of the CPU cores might be maxing out at 100% usage. To check if there are any CPU cores hitting 100% usage, open the Windows Task Manager CPU graph.
- Run the game in windowed mode (alt + enter)
- Open Task Manager (alt + ctrl + del)
- Open the Performance tab, then right-click on the CPU graph and choose "Change graph to > Logical processors".
- Set Task Manager to 'always on top' by clicking option
Now you can play the game and monitor per core CPU usage. If any CPU core hits 100% usage the game will stutter and cause network lag.
Yeah cool but how do we fix this? I've been getting this constantly since I started playing. The game is barely playable. I dont get this with any other game. Why is my CPU been maxed out and why isn't it utilising more GPU? I keep getting the 3 frame windows popping up all the time. I've tried setting everything to low, frame gen off and basially trying to run this game as bad as I can and im still getting the slow motion lag everywhere.

65Zulu Superstoff if the CPU is above recommended system requirements but still has CPU cores hitting 100% usage.
Then possible reasons include:
- CPU frequency downclocking due to the CPU or motherboard voltage regulator module (VRM) overheating.
- RAM in single channel mode, instead of dual channel mode.
Monitor CPU frequency in Windows Task Manager to see if it downclocks. For example going from 4GHz down to 3Ghz.
Download HWiNFO to see if the CPU or VRM is overheating and causing the CPU frequency to downclock.
The CPU shouldn't be above 80°C and the VRM shouldn't be above 90°C.
Download CPU-Z to see if RAM memory is in dual channel or single channel mode. Dual channel has more performance.

Thanks for the reply, I checked it with HWinfo/logged a whole conquest 32vs32 match
VRM MIN/MAX 29°C
CPU MIN/MAX 35/68°C
My RAM is indeed single channel mode.

That's most like likely causing the low fps. Check your motherboard user manual for info on which memory slots should have RAM sticks in them for dual channel mode.
