Some tips from miui forum:
1. Change your model to OPPO (maybe R11s or others), in build.prop or with xposed module. It was said to work in games from tencent
2. Flash an LOS/aosp rom
3. Remove the temperature control file: http://en.miui.com/thread-635457-1-1.html

Either of these was said to be working, but I never played big games like pubg

Same problem here.. it's like playing a YouTube video at 0.5x speed.But I'm using Los 15.1. I use kernel adiutor for good performance but pubg still lagging. Any solution?

i am now using viper os nougat latest build and running pubg with highest graphics at 60fps
looks like this game isnt optimized well for all devices out there....even note 8 laggs...as it is beta version next update will solve this lagging issue for all devices..hopefully :)

I'm playing on my note 8 (highest settings) and i haven't experienced ANY lag at all, so i don't know what you are talking about...

I can't find the mentioned file in the 3rd option any solution?

if you follow the link:

" To delete the thermal-engine-8996.conf file you must be rooted your device and use X-plore file manager to go to /system/etc and find thermal-engine-8996.conf and delete it . REboot your phone to feel the beat"

It could be risky

I've experiemced the same problem here! Im using LineageOS, but previously using latest MIUI global stable rom. Unfortunately, using miui, playing pubg is really laggy most of the times. I tried to flash Lineageos 15.1, sadly the lag in pubg still exists and even worse! Roatating the character flickers. I haven't experience that much lag with some other games using my mi 5s. Hope this is only a game/software issue though

Based on my experience with the game on a high-end PC, I think the game is simply badly optimized. It also runs quite bad on fast PCs.

It runs ultra smooth on the Oneplus 5T, but on the Mi5s sometimes it lags, I was thinking on flashing LOS to the Mi5S but seems that it doesn't matter it still lags its really annoying
