Why has halo 5 been so laggy the last couple of weeks. No other games have lagged for me. I have comcast xfinity at 350mbps. There should be no lag whatsoever. Someone please help me understand this frustration. Thanks
Latency can occur for a variety of reasons; paying for high download/upload speeds does not do anything to prevent you from experiencing latency. Lag can be a result of your distance from the servers, some sort of interruption in your connection that causes packet loss, high network traffic, your particular ISP, and more. If you have exhausted all personal troubleshooting options, like verifying your speeds, checking your ping/packet loss, clearing your console cache, and power cycling your modem/router, then the issues are beyond your control. You might want to check with your ISP to see if there is any trouble with your network, like a hardline problem, or see if they can identify any reason why your connection to Halo 5’s servers seems specifically bad.
tl;dr, 350 mbps does not mean you’ll never experience lag.
You might try Port Forward, it allows your router to send a data stream instead of sending data packets to Xbox. Look up Port Forwarding Xbox on youtube.
Normally, I’d agree that it might be something on his end, but the servers have been pretty wonky for the past few weeks. I’ve been lagging a lot when I normally haven’t in the past.
About all you can do is make sure you hard reset your Xbox for H5 or MCC and use a wired connection between your Xbox and modem/router. That ensures the best connection. But can say it’s pretty obvious that what ever servers they use aren’t very good.
The recent hot fix has caused (for me at least ) more lag to occur then normal. I am starting to think it is something on 343’s side as no other games lag at all.
Yea after the hotfix i have been getting booted and disconnected from every warzone game after 5 minutes but for some reason this doesnt happen in arena.
343 wont even talk about this issue and seem to be just pretending everything is normal
I’ve been losing connections midway through a game and it gets pretty frustrating.
