A few days ago, I went to play slither.io and agar.io. I would experience major lags, where my browser fps would drop(i was using a program which told me fps of browser, it was not pc fps). This used to never happen and I could run them both smoothly. I checked the load on my pc, and nothing was over 30 percent. I also checked msi afterburner and my temps were normal. My internet was also preforming well(80/80). I can run games like cs:go flawlessly. I have also tried playing on microsoft edge, which also did not work. I have ran multiple cpu and gpu stress trests and they are preforming fine. Streams also buffer a lot more than they previously did. Does anyone know how to fix this? This never used to be a problem and my browser ran flawlessly. Thanks!

Have you tried running the game in Firefox?
Have you tried running the browser on nothing but 1 core (choose the second one only) ? (Task Manager-> select the browser process->Set Affinity-> CPU 1)
I'm using 90% of my total RAM so take this with a grain of salt but on an FX-8350, HD6950 CF, 32GB of RAM, the game also lags. It's definitely not running smooth. Firefox is better, but in my case, it's still lagging.
Are these games built on Flash Player? You may want to consider updating your Flash Player. Have you tried running those games in Chrome without any add-on enabled?
 


I have tried running them with all add ons and extensions disabled, but this has not worked and I will try to see if i can update flash player.

EDIT: Updating flash player has not helpe. 🙁

Firefox did not help, but I will make sure I am using multiple cpu cores to run it and get back to you. Thanks for the help!
