How to Fix The Division Resurgence Lag

The Division Resurgence, as the mobile adaptation of Ubisoft’s classic The Division series, has attracted numerous players worldwide. You will be able to experience shooting and exploration on mobile devices that are on par with the console and PC versions. However, many players have reported severe lag in the game, causing character movements to lag and shots to not register. Therefore, today we will discuss how to comprehensively resolve this issue.

Which Kind of Lag Are You Facing?

There are two types of lag in The Division Resurgence — network-related and hardware-related. They differ in their manifestations and causes, so the solutions are different. If you’re not sure which type of lag you’re encountering, check whether you have the following symptoms:

• Network Lag
  • High ping/latency
  • Packet loss/network jitter
  • Rubber‑banding / players teleporting
  • Shots or abilities seem not to register (delayed hit registration)
  • Sudden disconnects or login failures
  • Multiple players or entire match affected
• Hardware Lag
  • Low FPS / frequent frame drops
  • Stuttering or choppy animations
  • Input lag (controls feel sluggish)
  • Long loading times
  • Device overheating or thermal throttling
  • Only your device affected

How to Fix Network Lag in The Division Resurgence?

GearUP Mobile is the best solution for solving network connection problems, because when you connect to The Division Resurgence servers you must pass through many nodes, and those nodes are usually not optimal. GearUP Mobile can, based on the server you choose and your network environment, automatically adapt the best route, thereby improving connection stability and efficiency and reducing game ping. This process does not require any network configuration; it is quick and efficient.

Then search for The Division Resurgence and click boost.

After acceleration is complete, you can see the real‑time network status, and then you can open the game.

What about Hardware Lag?

Hardware lag comes from your device's insufficient or degraded performance, so you can fix it by addressing the following areas:

Lower In‑game Graphics Settings

• Reduce overall graphics quality (e.g., from High to Medium/Low).
• Lower frame rate target if available, or choose a balanced/power‑saving profile.
• Turn off or reduce effects: shadows, anti‑aliasing, motion blur, ambient occlusion, and high‑resolution textures or particles.
• If there’s a render scale or resolution scale option, set it lower to boost FPS.

Clear Memory (RAM) and Cache

Close the game, then restart it to free temporary memory.

• On Android: Settings → Apps → The Division Resurgence → Storage → Clear cache (or Force stop if needed).
• On iOS: restarting the device clears most cached memory; you can also offload the app in Settings → General → iPhone Storage if needed.

Close Unnecessary Background Programs

• Manually close other apps running in the background (Android: recent apps → swipe away; iOS: swipe up on app cards or double‑click Home on older devices).
• Disable background app refresh (iOS: Settings → General → Background App Refresh) or restrict background data for specific apps on Android.
• Turn off resource‑heavy services while gaming (cloud backups, large downloads, streaming apps).

Connect to Wi‑Fi or Mobile Data?

Wi‑Fi vs mobile data doesn’t matter — stability does. A slightly higher but steady ping is better than a ping that fluctuates up and down.

If you must use Wi‑Fi:

• 5 GHz: use when you are close to the router with no major obstacles. Pros: higher speed, lower latency. Cons: shorter range, poorer wall penetration.
• 2.4 GHz: use when there are walls or you’re farther from the router. Pros: longer range, better penetration. Cons: slower potential speeds, more congestion.

Quick tips:

• Check signal strength and in‑game latency/jitter.
• Move closer to the router and remove obstructions.
• Avoid crowded Wi‑Fi channels (change channel on your router if needed).
• Stop bandwidth‑heavy background apps and downloads while gaming.
• Switch to mobile data if Wi‑Fi is unstable.

The Division Resurgence Lag FAQ

Q1: Can faster internet speeds reduce lag?

It might help but not significantly, because the network factors that cause lag are mainly issues with connection nodes. Even if speeds increase, if the nodes aren’t optimized there will still be latency.

Q2: Can device overheating cause lag?

Yes. Overheating causes hardware performance to drop and can also cause network throttling; these issues can all lead to lag.
