Has 343 not addressed the issues with the messaging in the top right corner for Unstable Jitter or Packet Loss? No forum in this section or reddit has any sort of solution. Multiple testing websites show less than 1% jitter and packet loss but every single game of Infinite has incredible lag. Halo 5 operates fine. Minecraft, no issues. MCC - totally playable.
Infinite? Every game. Players standing in one spot and then suddenly 30 yards away. Getting shot by literally nothing (worse than the usual desync).
I’ve reset my router. I’ve tested my internet speeds (350 Mbps consistently). I am constantly at 44 ping. I have joined my friends, and I’ve had them join me. None of this changes anything. The multiplayer is unplayable.
Last game I was standing still in the tower on Live Fire during what I knew was a lag spike. Suddenly, I lose my 8-0 perfection attempt because my body is suddenly off the edge of the tower and out of bounds.
Does nobody have a solution to the network issues in this game?
You can try testing your ping with Microsoft Azure servers

You can also try a bufferbloat test

Realistically though, you just have the same issues everyone else has, none. It’s the game. I don’t have any issues or high ping in any other games I play. Only Infinite.
I found this link and it may have worked. Played one game and it seemed “okay.” Not perfect, but didn’t get any pop-ups. For what it’s worth, I also unplugged my router for 30 seconds and changed my game to Performance Mode instead of Quality Mode.
Wouldn’t help me. I play on PC. Xbox One and Xbox Series S users will struggle more than Xbox Series X users, due to having pretty low RAM. A Series X has 16 GB RAM, which is pretty low for a decent PC. My old laptop has 16 GB RAM. It’s not even that Halo Infinite should be a demanding game, it’s just optimized like trash. Whether or not this affects jitter, I honestly don’t know, but if constantly clearing your cache and hard resetting your console fixes your problem, it sounds like a plausibility. I almost never get unstable jitter or packet loss on PC, but if I do, my ping jumps 300 to 500+, and either fixes itself or boots me out of the match. Usually only happens because of the people I’m playing against. I’ve had matches where everyone in the match slowly dropped out leaving me the only one left against 3 other people, then I popped out too. As far as I’m concerned, it’s just the game being optimized like garbage, and not particularly anyone’s fault.
