[Subisan7]

I play fortnite and I recently got a second monitor to plug into my pc so I can watch netflix while playing fortnite but now I am constantly lagging, is their a way to fix this or help out my fps anyway?

Is it lag as in internet lag, or FPS drop as in losing frame rate.

What is your system specs and internet connection (both hardware used and what speed you get form the ISP)?

make sure the monitor you are playing fortnite on is plugged into the graphics card and not you motherboard.

If its internet lag, there is no fixing it. Especially if your using wifi.. which, are you on wifi or ethernet?

I never suggest watching videos while playing a game if you do not have a proper internet connection that can handle both.

What kind of internet connection do you have?

Go to speedtest.net and run the speed test on your connection. bet sure no other devices are download, streaming, gaming etc when you do.
