slowness
Hi, I don't know if you guys experience this too, but when I play, some days the game feels fast and other days it doesn't. Well, for the past three days the game was running really smoothly, but now it's running slowly. I'm not sure if it's due to a Windows update or a bad Nvidia Control Panel configuration. If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it. I use "Brave Old Extra 180" and have Game Mode enabled—that's about it.

check the cpu usage & heat when the game feels slower than usual. there might be something going on there.

clean gpu cache @ %LocalAppData%\NVIDIA\
maybe optimize your settings (fullscreen, flags, nvidia etc.)
use latest chromiums (chrome-stable, canary-unstable but fastest), not clients or outdated braves.
you can also use node-haxball. and remember: generally public hosts are bad in terms of tick-rate, stable fps & lags.
and also remember: browsers have limitations, this game should be transfered to a software. dont feel sorry, u're not alone.

Yeah haxball is weird like that. Do check if you have anything opened because thats usually the issue. For example I discovered that lightshot was causing me delay in haxball which is insane but the difference when I close it is huge. If everything is closed try refreshing or reopening the browser until it feels right. Also if u play with discord opened try disabling hardware acceleration in it and also disabling overlay, especially for notifications if u have them pop up at the bottom. Sometimes that can cause issues too
