Game Feels Laggy & Unresponsive

Even though Yume Nikki Dream Diary doesn’t seem as demanding as other AAA titles, in reality it does still require a lot of processing power and a reasonably powerful graphics card. Many users have reported that even though their computer systems do meet the minimum requirements of the game, it still causes lags, freezes and stutters which means you’ll have to fix the issues using the Nvidia 3D Control Panel.

Open up the Nvidia Control Panel and click the Manage 3D Settings option, Now click on Program Settings and finally add or select the Yume Nikki Dream Diary exe file to manually change the game options.

Also, you’ll need to turn off or disable Vsync, anti-aliasing, and anisotropic filtering which will make the game look less appealing but will also boost performance considerably. Additionally, running Yume Nikki Dream Diary in admin mode also helps avoid bugs and glitches while boosting game performance.

 

Raise Priority & Disable Antivirus

Yume Nikki Dream Diary is one of these kind of games that actually benefit you greatly when you play with the antivirus turned off. Many people have reported that running this game after disabling the antivirus resulted in a considerable boost in performance. You can also try to raise the game priority to real-time via the Task Manager. Users have reported that doing so does reduce lag and does away from freezing.
