I play Conan on my PC and I don’t know if it’s just because I have a low-end laptop or because of the mods I selected (then de-selected) but I now have constant, game breaking lag spikes every 2-10 seconds and I basically can’t play or can’t play without having to stop and wait 3-5 seconds every 2-10 seconds for the spike to blow over. I really can’t play the game anymore but this wasn’t happening before today and the only thing I can think of is the mods I put on briefly. The mod I currently have on is Improved Quality of Life, and the other mods I’ve used are Yamatai Exiles- Katana Family (briefly, today), Archery QoL (briefly, today), and actually two others that I’m embarrassed of. But none the less I could really use some help.

I just started a new game and it was not laggy for a couple of minutes but then reverted right back to the stop-and-go I was/am at.

Hey there,

It seems like an odd issue that could point to a myriad of causes.

That I can think of from the top of my head, it could either be related to some overheating (you should check your CPU and GPU temperatures while running the game), some drivers perhaps acting up (updating your GPU drivers could help), disabling Geforce Experience if you have it installed (Other players reported this program causing issues for them) or ensuring that there is enough space in your hard drive (100Gb of extra space in the disk drive you have the game installed should ensure you don't run into any issues).

Unsubscribing from any mods you might have installed in the past (from the Steam Workshop) should also ensure there's no mod files in the background disrupting anything. Also remember to check the integrity of the game files in Steam just in case there's something corrupted in there, and to see if there is anything running in the background that could be causing this lag (antivirus and whatnot).

Yea, my computer actually overheats a lot when running this game

Also how would you uninstall geforce?

Thanks

If it overheats a lot it could be that. If you're tech savvy enough you could try to open your laptop and clean any obstructed fans or dust inside. Also renewing the thermal paste goes a long way in preventing any overheating.

As for how to uninstall Geforce Experience:

  1. Open the Start Menu.
  2. Search for “add or remove programs“.
  3. Click on the search result titled Add or remove programs.
  4. Look through the list of programs installed on the computer and locate and right-click on the listing for NVIDIA GeForce Experience.
