Mobile Legends FPS drops badly, How to Boost Performance?

You can try the following settings:

1. Disable the HD mode option. This will run the game in lower resolution textures, resulting in a good performance. Although you might not have the same visual quality as before.
2. Disable shadows. Shadows have the most impact on the performance. Disabling it will guarantee you some more frames.
3. Choose the Smooth or High presets in the Graphics option instead of “High” or “Ultra”
   
4. If you are facing a very low framerate issue, try changing the Refresh rate to “High”.

Method 2: Perform Network test and Performance check

Open the settings option in the game and tap on the Networks section. There you will find an option to perform a Network test. Check if you have a good network connection. Because if you have a bad network connection, you will face lags in the game which can look like FPS drops.

Also while you are there, take a Performance check to check if your phone is performing well with respect to the game’s requirements.

Method 3: Clear Storage Space for your Game Files

Games require a good amount of storage space to store all the game data files. So it becomes important to maintain a good amount of free space on your phone. If you are getting low on storage, try to make some room by deleting unwanted photos, videos, movies, and downloads. You can also try moving your photos to a different storage space like an SD card or cloud storage and make some more room for your game to store all its files.

Method 4: Disable Battery Saver Mode

Battery saver mode on your phone is designed to save battery by limiting access to wifi, communication server,s location services, and countless other services. But some of these services, such as location, internet, etc are important for the game to run. So disabling the battery saver mode will help you to fix the Mobile Legends FPS problem.

Method 5: Check background applications

If you have too many applications running in the background, you will face a low FPS issue on your game. Because applications running in the background consume resources like RAM and CPU which are also important for running your game smoothly without any issues.

So close any applications that are running in the background. Try to force close the application from the settings applications. And if you think that you do not need that app, then you can simply uninstall it. This will not only free up resources, it will also free up some storage.

Method 6: Disable background updates

Sometimes, updates to the game get downloaded in the background. This could cause the game to slow down and lag and eventually cause some low FPS issues. So to avoid this, keep the background updates turned off.

From the settings page, select Update settings. Now you will see the option “Disable background downloads” under Auto-Update.

Disable it and check if the issue is resolved.

Method 7: Update the game and update your software

If you are running an older version of the game, then it is the best idea to update the game. The game will not allow you to continue on a lower version without updating anyway. But it is also important to keep your device software up to date. Because software update brings the latest features as well as bug fixes for your smartphone. This could also mean fixes for any issues that caused the low fps issue on your game.

Go to the settings app and search for “Software Update”. Tap on check for updates and if there are any, download and install them.

Method 8: Clear Data, cache,or re-install the game

If nothing else works for you, then you can try clearing the data or games cache and check.

1. Long press on the application and tap on app info.
2. Open the storage section and tap on Clear Data to clear the application’s data.
3. Now, close the settings windows and check by opening the game.

If that even doesn’t work, then you can, at last, try uninstalling the game and reinstalling it again.

Conclusion

As you can see, these were some solutions that you can try to fix the low FPS issue in the Mobile Legends game. If you are still facing the issue, it means that your phone is very weak to handle the game and you should consider upgrading it to enjoy the game without any lags.
