After the 2/3/2022 update I started experiencing horrible desync… I was fine before this update. I play out of Florida in the US on Xbox Series S.
The most recent dev post about this is absolute garbage in my opinion. The start off by saying the latency is mitigated by the server adjusting to what the shooter saw, therefore shots should count. Yet. In the very next part of the post they talk about how the shooter can desync and not register damage against the target although they get registered ticks.
So which is it? So you even know?
Ffs make a game that is complete before you put it out.
Now a days, I first check the match ping time and if it’s > 40 ms (like 75 to 230), I just leave. There’s just no point in playing it anymore.
Hell, I was playing TitanFall 2 the other day and ping times were < 60 ms (server pings were 28 ms). And that game is completely abandoned and has no resources.
Exactly what is 343’s excuse for the state of their Flagship Xbox game?
The fix wasn’t a fix, and the desync/hitreg is still truly terrible. It is amazing that all other shooters including older halo games do this better than infinite.
They didn’t fix anything though. They claimed geo filtering was the root of all issues and patched that. Clearly that wasn’t the issue though as the problems persist.
Now we have to wait till they pull their head out of their -Yoink!- and find another segment of the community that is causing all the faults cause 343 will never accept responsibility for the dogpiss netcode in the game.
Been 4 months of this now, love this damn game but the ping in oceania is shocking, dont want to turn it on and be disappointed anymore. Sort this out 343 why realease a half a made game, all halo fans would of waited. 3 games in a row off the mark, running the franchise into the ground
Halo 5 had serious desync issues from its initial release which were never remedied. I don’t have high hopes.
They introduced search filters in Halo5 after many months of complaints, and it did improve things to an extent (the extent being after approx midnight it became literally impossible to find a local game on Focused search).
