Best way to play slither.io game to reduce lag?

April 30, 2016 6:59 PM

Is there any way to reduce the lag while playing slither.io? I have the same problem while using the iphone 6s app (wifi), playing on the iphone browser (wifi), and playing on my computer.

I tried playing in incognito mode, Firefox, google chrome, deleting my browser history, deleting my extensions.

How am I supposed to procrastinate for finals with all this lag?!

I can only speak to the browser version, but have you tried setting it to the lower quality setting?

Have you switched the graphics to "low quality"? I've found that helps a little.

A fair amount of the lag might be server-side or network congestion. That can't be helped with anything you do.

I've been using a userscript on sliterio.org which blanks out the background and reduces glow, and it's helped quite a bit.
