Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond, the latest entry in the popular card game franchise by Cygames, brings fresh mechanics like super-evolution and a virtual social hub, Shadowverse Park. But despite its flashy features, many players are reporting disruptive lag—particularly during menu navigation, match loading, and sometimes even mid-duel. Let's break down what's causing the lag and how to fix it so you can focus on dominating the battlefield.

Why Is Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond Lagging?

 

Game lag is something that can be clearly felt, but the reasons causing it are not the same. Generally speaking, these are the common problem areas:

 

• Server Overload: With its global release, the game's servers are seeing heavy traffic, leading to delays during matchmaking and loading screens.
• Poor Client Optimization: On mid to low-end PCs, performance dips are common, particularly when assets are loading or the interface becomes cluttered.
• Unstable Network Conditions: Fluctuations in a user's internet connection can turn minor delays into persistent lag or disconnections.

 

Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond – What Happens When Lag Occurs?

 

What is it like when Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond experiences lag? Maybe you're not entirely sure if you're encountering lag, so you can check whether the following situations occur:

 

• Stuck on Matchmaking: Clicking "Start" freezes the screen or gives error code messages like "Error Code 2."
• Sluggish UI: Navigating the menu, opening card packs, or checking your deck takes noticeably longer than it should.
• Lag Mid-Match: Card actions slow down, animations stutter, and inputs delay during battles.
• Frequent Disconnects: Even on solid Wi-Fi, you might get thrown back to the main menu with connection errors.

 

Is There a Simple Way to Fix Lag?

 

You're playing a relaxed and casual card game, yet you have to spend a lot of time dealing with network issues? I think no one wants to encounter this situation. In fact, common network problems can now be solved with a game booster, such as GearUP Booster. This is because boosters can provide automated solutions—through technologies like multi-path intelligent node switching, they can quickly find and connect to the best node, improving connection stability while also reducing common network issues like disconnections and packet loss.

 

Step 1: Click here to download GearUP Booster.

 

 

Step 2: Search for Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond and click Boost.

 

 

Step 3: You'll see detailed network optimization results—then simply launch the game.

 

 

Two More Solutions You Can Try

 

Of course, there are two more complex traditional methods to fix local network issues, but incorrect configuration could easily lead to other problems. We don't recommend trying them casually:

 

1. Change Your DNS

 

For tech-savvy players looking to reduce latency, modifying DNS settings can help. Here's how:  

 

Open Network Settings  

Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings → Right-click your connection → Properties → Select IPv4 → Properties.

 

Enter a Public DNS

• Replace your current DNS with a faster alternative, such as:  
• Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 (Primary), 8.8.4.4 (Secondary)
• Cloudflare DNS: 1.1.1.1 (Primary), 1.0.0.1 (Secondary)

 

Save & Restart

Apply changes and restart your connection for them to take effect.

 

2. Close Bandwidth-Heavy Background Applications

 

Many latency issues in Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond are caused by other programs consuming your network bandwidth. Here's how to optimize your connection:  

 

Open Task Manager  

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to launch Task Manager.
• Go to the Performance tab → Check Ethernet/Wi-Fi usage to identify high-bandwidth apps.

 

End High-Network-Usage Processes

• Switch to the Processes tab → Sort by Network usage.
• Right-click on unnecessary programs consuming bandwidth → Select End Task.
• Common bandwidth-heavy apps:
• Streaming services (YouTube, Twitch, Netflix)
• Cloud sync/backup tools (OneDrive, Google Drive)
• Game launchers/downloads (Steam, Epic Games, Windows Update)

 

Pause Automatic Updates  

 

• Go to Settings > Windows Update > Pause updates (temporarily).
• Game Launchers (Steam/Epic):
• Disable auto-updates in their settings.

 

Optimize Router QoS (For Multi-Device Households)  

• Access your router settings (usually 192.168.1.1 in a browser).
• Enable QoS (Quality of Service) and prioritize traffic for Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond.

 

 

Conclusion

 

Lag doesn't have to ruin your card strategy in Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond. With tools like GearUP Booster and a bit of network tweaking, you can turn a frustrating experience into a competitive edge. Don't let lag decide your fate—fix it and play at your full potential!
