Perhaps you have heard of this issue or experienced it while playing. Many people believe the problem is entirely in-game and attempt to resolve it by using fewer lights in their store. However, this approach is effective only in smaller stores and is not a permanent solution. So, what causes the lag?

Based on multiple reports from Supermarket Simulator players, the issue arises from the Hz of your monitor rather than your FPS. If your monitor's refresh rate is 144 Hz or higher, the game might likely lag. During certain times, such as in the evenings, the game's refresh rate drops, and monitors with higher hertz cannot match this lower rate. This, in turn, leads to your FPS dropping as well, although it is not the initial cause of the bug.

As you might have already guessed, adjusting your screen's refresh rate is the key to resolving the issue while the lights are in operation. Try lowering your monitor's rate to 144 Hz or below, and you will notice a significant improvement.

It's important to note that this adjustment might also impact your FPS. Consider setting your game quality to low, refresh it, and observe the results. This should effectively resolve the issue, allowing you to work in your supermarket at any time without a problem.
