Gamebreaking Bug.

My roommate and I both snagged Halo 5. When I play and he’s not home the game plays fine. The same goes for when I’m at work or whatever and he’s murdering jerks. That changes completely when we try to play together or even at the same time.

When we’re both home and try to play, together or in separate matches, the game has lag spikes that last for as long as 40 seconds. It happens constantly too. As soon as one of us closes the game the lag dissipates.

I know not everyone has 2 Xbox One systems in their household, but this has made the game unplayable for both of us. I hope whatever is causing this issue is acknowledged and repaired soon. Otherwise both of us are probably returning the game. I really don’t want to do that though. It plays excellent when I’m by myself. I just want to murder jerks with my roomy and can’t at the moment.

How fast is your internet connection?

Also are you using wireless?

If you are both using wireless then at least one of you should try wired.

Sounds like an internet problem and not a game problem. My wife and I play together on two xboxes just fine. My brother and two of his roommates can play together without lag spikes. Get better internet or a better modem/router.

36 down and 6 up for internet. Never had an issue like this with any other game before. It’s infuriating!

Edit: Also a wired connection. Forgot to throw that in there.

My roommate is talking to some folks on reddit having the same issue. They all have time Warner for their is an live in new York state.

i heard issues ONLY with warner. sorry, keep it for a few days and see if it is fixed soon, keep up with info, also, post this in the support threads, helpful people are there

You need to check your setting on your router. Look and see if you have QoS (Quality of Serves) and look at the settings and rules. Also look at IPv6 and UPnP settings. It sounds like a router problem. Last step is call XBOX support, they are really good at fixing problems if its on router or xbox side.

What router do you currently have?

I’m on a 10Mbps connection (down from 100Mbps last year =.=) and every game lags for me in MP. Not Halo 5. Even in Warzone, not a single bit of lag.

Must be a home networking configurations problem.

I don’t lag, me and my brother are in the same room on wireless connection. New Zealand here.

I don’t think it’s 343i’s problem that your internet sucks monkey balls.

I can attest to this. I have twc and it’s impossible to play at the same time, in the same house. We have played just about EVERY FPS since xbox one came out and this is the only unplayable. Very frustrating. A match consists of watching 7 players run into a wall until you respawn. Broken

Also, I pull down 38, put up 5-6 in my network tests.

So my roomy just texted me. He said he put the router from TWC in bridge mode (I’m not entirely sure what that entails) then hooked another router to it and said he played 5 matches of war zone with bothe our systems going and had not so much as a hiccup.

Sounds like an internet problem. Hopefully what your mate did fixed the issue.
