Catching rare fish in ABYSS is already tough. When lag hits mid-fight, you lose oxygen control, miss shots, and watch that high-value catch escape. If you’re dealing with frame drops, delayed actions, or frozen fish fights, this guide covers every fix from the instant solution to long-term prevention.
| Problem | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Whole server lagging | Exploiter running scripts | Server hop or report |
| FPS drops only for you | Device/graphics settings | Lower Roblox graphics |
| Lag on mobile | Background apps/old OS | Close apps, update OS |
| Intermittent lag | Internet/ISP throttling | Check connection or VPN |

Before you start tweaking your PC settings, know this: the #1 cause of lag in ABYSS is exploiters using scripts, not your hardware or internet. When someone runs a script, the game server has to process unintended actions at scale and that overloads the entire server. Every player in that lobby feels it, not just the cheater.
Signs you’re sharing a server with a scripter:
If you see this, don’t waste time adjusting graphics settings. The problem isn’t on your end.
The quickest solution is leaving and rejoining. Here’s the process:
This is free and takes under a minute. Most players find a clean server within 2–3 attempts. You can also buy a private server for ~200 Robux, but that’s only worth it if you play regularly. A quick server hop solves the same problem for free.
Reporting properly helps the developers ban bad actors and keeps future servers clean. Here’s the exact process:
Without a visible username and proof, moderators cannot act. The clearer your report, the faster the ban.
If server hopping doesn’t help, your hardware or settings might be the bottleneck. Try these in order:
Lower Roblox Graphics:
Close Background Apps:
Update Graphics Drivers (PC):
Restart Your Device:
Run Roblox as Administrator (PC):
If your ping is high or inconsistent:
For mobile players specifically, switch from mobile data to home Wi-Fi, mobile data latency is rarely stable enough for real-time Roblox gameplay.
The most common cause is exploiters on your server, not your connection. Server hop to a new lobby and check if lag disappears if it does, the problem was server-side.
Yes, a private server (~200 Robux) eliminates other players entirely, so no exploiters can affect your experience. But server hopping (free) solves the same issue in most cases.
Press Esc in-game, go to Settings, set Graphics Mode to Manual, then drag the slider to a lower level. Level 1–3 works well on most devices without heavily impacting visuals.
Report via the official ABYSS Discord server. Submit a screenshot or video clip with the exploiter’s username clearly visible in the exploiter reports channel.
It can help if the lag is caused by memory buildup during a long session. Close Roblox completely, wait 10 seconds, and relaunch before rejoining.
