COD BO4 Split screen choppy gameplay

JasonSTOW · Apr 28, 2020

Need some help from y’all. I bought this game about 3 weeks ago on xbox one x, and me and my wife have been playing splitscreen multiplayer games online. Its been a blast, but the last 4 days it has started to microstutter. It only happened a couple of
times at first, but it has progressively gotten worse and worse. It is to the point now that I get a headache playing the game because it feels like I am being shot one time and dying. I have tried every possible solution provided by multiple different sources.
I have fantastic Internet, great latency and ping reports, open nat, open ports set up from my router. I have deleted my profiles, deleted the game, done a soft reset keeping games and apps, nothing has worked. I am feeling absolutely crush because we have
loved playing this game, but it is sincerely unplayable right now. HELP!

Before I even went in to the routers settings recently and messed with anything, UPnP was the only thing that I had enabled.

Since I read this message about an hour ago, I went in and have UPnP enabled, no forwarding, no DMZ and still the same choppy connection. Like I had previously said, it only happens about once every 10-20 seconds so its not like I am not able to play at
all...its just super frustrating when it happens.

Could the CAT5e cable be an issue? I know there are CAT6 now, maybe its worth a shot? Im really not worried about spending another $40-50 on another cable. I need atleast 20-25 feet with where I am currently playing, just a room away from the modem.

I don't know if this will help at all but it has been stated by official support that when it comes to DMZ. port forwarding, and upnp you should only have one of these enabled at a time. Preferably just upnp if your router supports it which yours can according
to your post. Having more than one enabled at a time can cause connection problems. Try using just one of them at a time and see what happens. Let us know!

Update:

-Reset to factory defaults on router

-Running port forwarding only (UPnp disabled, DMZ disabled)

-Got a CAT6 cable (again, ran to XB360 straight from modem/router)

-NAT is still OPEN

-recent speed test --- 56mbs down, 6mbs up, 23ms ping

-Xbox configuration settings still manual - set IP, subnet, gateway

AND.....today I spoke with a Tier 3 specialist with my ISP for over an hour. The specialist, Tim, said the signals from the modem were perfect and there was nothing abnormal about the connection from his end. He ran various tests and looked at graphs, could
not figure it out him self. NO CHANGE!

Same glitchy choppy connection every 15-30 seconds....

I am mind boggled at this point.

try running a program called namebench. you will find it in a google search. google made it. choose 50 cache hit 50 cache miss. whatever it says is the fastest dns put that in the dns for you xbox manual dns settings. it will be an ip address just like your
isp default ip. xx.xx.xx.xx
