Naraka: Bladepoint throws you into intense battles, but lag can disrupt the flow and frustrate you. Fortunately, there are solutions! This guide highlights everything you need to know to diagnose and combat lag, ensuring a smooth and responsive experience.
We’ll discuss common causes of lag, from server connection issues to hardware limitations. By the end of the day, you’ll be able to discover simple solutions like adjusting in-game settings or updating drivers. We’ll also offer more technical tweaks like modifying launch options for Naraka: Bladepoint.
Fix 1: High Ping
Naraka: Bladepoint starts with 1000 ping, which is quite high and can delay the game’s response time. When you move around, the ping fluctuates, reducing your game’s speed and causing latency issues. This overall ruins your gaming experience, so try changing your server. You can also use a VPN to switch to a low ping server but that may cause problems of its own. Additionally, you can also try upgrading your internet speed with your ISP.
Fix 2: Check System Requirements
The game works best on the given PC requirement, if your system falls below the stated details, you need to upgrade.
- OS: Windows 7 or newer (64-bit)
- Processor: Intel i5 4th Generation / AMD FX 6300 or equivalent
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750TI or equivalent
- DirectX: Version 11
- Network: Broadband Internet Connection
- Storage: 20 GB available space
Upgrade your PC if your current set up is not up to the mark.
Fix 3: Update GPU Drivers

Fix 4: Use DirectX11
The game is highly unstable on DirectX12, so we recommend that you play the game on DirectX11. This is the most common issue for performance lag in Naraka: Bladepoint.
To switch to DirectX11, follow the given instructions:
On Steam:
- Open Steam Library, right-click on Naraka: Bladepoint and select Properties.
- Go to the General tab, select Launch Options, and type -dx11.
- Save, exit, and launch the game.
On Epic Games:
- Open Epic Games and choose the Settings option.
- Expand the Naraka Bladepoint section and enable the options for Additional Command Line Arguments.
- Type -d3d11, save, and launch the game.
Fix 5: Disable Overlays and Recordings
Turn off your recording features, both from the Windows (or the OS you are using) and your GPU overlays. You also should turn off the Instant replays. You also should try turning off all the overlays you use, for example, Discord. Anything that could be using your internet other than the game must be disabled.
Fix 6: Graphic Settings
You can lower the graphic settings of Naraka: Bladepoint to enhance performance. You can either set the overall graphic settings to Low or individually change all the settings.
If you decide to change all the settings individually, we recommend that you focus on the following settings to get the best results:
- Render Scale
- Unlimited Frame Rate
- HDR – Off
- VSync – Off
- Cherkerboard Rendering – Off
- Modeling Accuracy – Medium
- Shadow Quality – Low
- Volumetric Clouds – Off
- Ambient Occlusion – Off
Fix 7: Reduce PC Load
Ensure you close all the programs running in the background you are not using. If you are using programs such as Discord or even your internet browser, close them before playing the game. You can kill the process by opening up your Task Manager and closing the programs from there.
Fix 8: Verify Game Files
Most of the time, the game crashes, lags, or stutters because of corrupted files. If you have a similar issue, you can address this by reinstalling the game and making sure that there are no more corrupt files.
