Network issues improved for final play period?

Games Halo Infinite

Hello,

I wanted to put in some feedback regarding the network lag/disconnects that I was experiencing and that I know some streamers were experiencing as well.

First off, it should be noted that this problem was all but eliminated during the final play period of the weekend (Oct 3rd, 5pm - 9pm PST). I only had a single disconnection and no lag whatsoever during this period, so if something was changed to improve the experience it worked.

For reference, the issues I am referring to were intermittent but relatively common for me earlier today (Oct 3rd, 10am - 2 pm PST) and yesterday night (Oct 2nd, 5pm - 9pm PST). I found that getting close to an enemy spartan would cause the game to begin “rubber-banding” and overall make it nearly unplayable. This would occasionally be a minor inconvenience causing me to have to disengage (or die, more likely), but the game would sometimes recover. However, more often than not it would be a sign that I was going to disconnect from the match about 15-60 seconds later. Usually, this was preceded by being unable to move about the map as I was more or less teleporting from place to place with no way to know where I actually was. When it occurred, typically I would see multiple other teammates disconnect as well, so I don’t think it was an issue that I was experiencing alone. This occurred on both my PC and on my Xbox One.

Again - I want to make it clear that this appeared to be much better during the last play period in case that reveals what the cause may have been, but I wanted to mention it as I know I wasn’t alone in the connection issues.

Thank you for everything you do and please reach out if I can provide any additional information that might help!

I have only experienced rubber banding today. 4 games actually. First half of the game I was unable to play and the lag was real for me, and you could tell the other team was seeing it as they were taking quite awhile to kill me. But then out of nowhere it would stop and I would be able to play just fine. Never experienced that the previous 2 days before today.

I also had 4 games where I joined in due to other people on the team leaving. So either people really are just poorsports and quitting or they got lagged out.

I also had it in lobby where I got 3 different error messages saying I couldn’t connect to pre-game matchmaking lobby and that I lost connection, I couldn’t search anymore/again because it was “in-progress” and then after all those warnings and weirdness I was in the game from the start, like normal. Never had that happen before today either.

So if it was fixed for you then I took it all from you! Lol.
