Controller not working. Lags really bad

Hello there @Layton Murphy, I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support. I want you not to worry about the situation because I am here to help you out! I believe your console might need either a network reset or just a system refresh. I would like you to go through the following steps to clear the Mac address and then perform a quick power cycle on your console:

Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear it and the console should restart. It would definitely help if you could restart the internet router while the console is restarting.

After going through the troubleshooting steps mentioned, I invite you to perform a quick power cycle by turning off the console and then unplugging all the cables. After 2 to 3 minutes, re-plug them back again, then restart your console.

Another thing you should check is your NAT type. I would like you to check your NAT type if open because that could sometimes interfere. to check for the NAT type you can follow the steps below:

Settings > Network Settings > NAT type => It should be open.

If the NAT type is not open, you will need to open some ports with your internet provider. These ports must be open for Xbox Live to work: Port 88 (UDP) Port 3074 (UDP and TCP) Port 53 (UDP and TCP) Port 80 (TCP) Port 500 (UDP) Port 3544 (UDP) Port 4500 (UDP).

In case the issue still persists after the previous steps have been performed here is the official link to all the network troubleshooting steps that can help sort this out for you.

In case the issue still persists, the next step would be to perform a reset on the console. To do so you will need to follow the steps below to perform a reset on the Xbox :

Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

Note =>The "Reset and Keep my Games and Apps" option will not cause losing your games, but please be aware that you need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account before going for it because it will require you to sign in to the account.

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!

3arch will never fix the lag comp like IW on mw3. Its really sad that people have to cheat with modded controllers to kill someone. On a side note the lag has never been bad on mw2 its just bo and later.

Did it work with the "game mode" on? Im going to get me a samsung un55d8000 myself and was wondering if the lag really is so bad? thx

Yeah this has to be Lag, only hacking you will see is on a Call of Duty game,the servers on this site are Iron Clad,when the lag was REALLY, REALLY bad, on Bad company 2 That scenario used to happen to me ALL the time.

"You should try Dragon Age: Origins. You'll miss those 14 second load-times when your doing trial and error".

.

Or Dragon Age II on a hard difficulty in a stupid place with a class you're no good at. Plenty of trial and error there...
