Sadcoy

Regularly experiencing high latency when playing games on your machine can be due to a number of factors, the number one being poor quality services from your Internet provider. If you ruled out the ISP and have a more than decent contract, then it’s time to take a closer look at your computer. If your hardware is optimal, then it could be bad configuration and luckily, this is an easy to fix issue.

Sadcoy is a lightweight 1-click optimization application that can help you fix some of the most common underlying issues for latency or lag.

The application doesn’t require installation or configuration, so you can just run the executable to get started. Upon launch, you are greeted by several warnings that you should take it seriously and only use the tool if you are confident about what you’re doing. To make sure you can run the optimizer, you need to run it as Administrator.

Reboot for the changes to take effect and you’re all set. The program doesn’t provide a way for you to check out what it’s doing behind the scenes. Not only will a log be helpful when you are trying to revert some changes, but it would also be nice if you were able to select the types of tweaks to be applied.

Although not visible from the app, the developer mentions a few changes that the tool is designed to perform. The role of the program is to disable unnecessary Windows services, optimize privacy settings, taskbar, menu and some system settings related to delay and VBS.

While it is true that the developer mainly created the program for optimizing latency and performance for games, the truth is that it works just as well for other activities you do on your computer. Consequently, if you are having some performance issues with a 3D renderer or streaming services, perhaps you can consider running Sadcoy and get the issues fixed hopefully.
