Terrible Latency

[Dankquan]

Hi everyone! When I play with a friend we have terrible server lag, around 200-300 ms ping or so. We live in the same country, and it doesn't matter if I join them or they join me. This is the only game where this happens for us.

Any idea why this may be or is there a way to fix this?

Try having the host run wired ethernet vs wifi see if that helps

I dont think there is a fix. The game just has terrible latency in general. I play with my nephew at times when he comes over and the game still lags even tho he's in the same house. If you do find a fix lmk tho.

if you are playing on the same network you basically need to have someone wired in. Wifi is half duplex, it cant send and recieve data at the same time. Most of the time the host would be repeating data and the client waiting to respond

both computer using ethernet not wifi.

I assume it could be because the game doesn't have Peer 2 peer. As in it doesn't matter if you're in the same country or city the games run on Their servers and simply pick the closest. If you don't have a server in your country it'll pick the next best which could have 200 or so ping or not

Hmmm, the game puts out ipv6 packets. Look into whether your router has native ipv6 enabled or at least does the 6to4 tunnelling

We both use an ethernet connection, and it doesn't matter whether they host or I do. And like I said, this is the only game where we experience latency like this when we host. Normally we have around 20ms ping on other games, but on this one it seems to be around 200-300

That would seriously suck. Why wouldn't they have peer to peer?

i think theres a typo there. the game is only peer to peer. there are no servers other than the initial matchmaking ones through xbox live

This game just have insanely bad netcode. There is not much that you as the player can do about it.
