I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but I’ve tried literally everywhere else related to this game and have gotten Zero replies, so I guess this is my last desperate attempt for help…
So here’s what happens, (Halo Reach MCC for PC)
I start Halo from the desktop (Ping from Discord reads 46ms)
Get to the opening menu with the “Press ENTER to start” (Ping still at 46ms)
I hit enter and the menu starts to load (Ping jumps to over 1100ms, and eventualy comes back down to 48ms if I don’t do anything)
If i change menu to, lets say, Firefight, ping spikes back up (300-400ms) and then settles again after some time (15-20 seconds).
I leave that menu back to the Main Menu, I get a “Leaving…” pop-up beforehand that takes a few seconds and the the ping repeats the same jump again. Sometimes on the menu I get pop-ups saying I have been disconnected from Xbox Live, and others which say that my ping is to high to even go into the multiplayer menu.
As for in-game lag, if I play co-op as host the connection is so poor its unplayable, and when I’m in a multiplayer game, I have 48ms and 0% packet loss for maybe 30 seconds to a minute, then it will spike massively up to 300-500ms and gain up to 24% packet loss, then the spike goes away for a few seconds and repeats, which obviously enough leads to stuttering and such but also massive delay in the likes of throwing grenades, dying from shots, kills registering, abilities like evade sprint bugging out and so on…
I’ve played a lot of other games to try and recreate the issue but I have 0 issue with lag in any other game I own, I’ve tried to port forward the game and Ive gave my PC a static IP aswell, nothing has helped. I reckon it has something to do with having to log into Xbox Live servers from my PC but can’t find anyone with a similar issue anywhere, and its pushing me into just dropping the game since its nearly unplayable.
This has been the only game I’ve gotten excited over in the past 5 years… I just want to relive the glory days
