  • Additionally, it might be a good idea to power cycle your console and/or network router (this involves turning it off and unplugging it from the power source for about half a minute).
  • It is also essential to keep your console/PC software (system, drivers, etc.) up to date.
  • One thing that many people overlook is that other devices in your household can put a strain on your connection. Double-check if other devices are downloading big files, such as system updates.
  • Check your internet connection online via Speed Test, Jitter Test, etc., and contact your ISP if you notice some issues.

We hope that these steps have successfully resolved the “Low Network Performance” issue in SMITE. If not, reach out to SMITE (Hi-Rez) Technical Support.
