Lag spikes on all games

Hi Cal,

Thanks for your post, do you mind clarifying exactly how high the ping gets when it spikes? To troubleshoot this check out this wizard for to better stabilize your connection:

"I am experiencing slow performance when playing games on Xbox Live."

I hope this information helps, thanks again!

I haven't had lag hardly at all since release for me but tonight I got kicked from 2 games because of lost connection and had major lag spikes during games. It was weird.

Hello DuckFraud,

Welcome to the Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well. We understand that you are experiencing performance issues while playing games. Let us look into this together to get you back to gaming.



First, we recommend that you remove any temporary files that may be slowing down your computer.

Remove Temporary Files via Settings

1. Click the Start button from Taskbar and choose Settings. Or you can directly open the Windows Settings app by pressing Win + I.
   
2. On the System page, go to Storage, wait for a while and click Temporary files.
   
3. You can see the temporary file types on your computer. Just check the box of the files that you want to delete and uncheck the ones that you want to keep, then click Remove files to delete them.
   

Remove Temporary Files via Command Prompt

1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator
   
2. Paste and copy the command - del /q/f/s %TEMP%\* to the CMD window and press Enter. The temporary files will be removed from your computer.
   

Delete Temporary Files via File Explorer

1. Press Win + R to get the Run window, type %temp% and click OK to open the Temp folder in File Explorer.
   
2. Press Ctrl + A to select all the files in this folder, right-click on them and choose Delete from the context menu to delete them.
   

Next, we recommend that you close any background processes that may be running while attempting to play games. There are many apps and services, mainly antivirus/computer optimization apps, that can cause slowdowns such as this. If you see any running via Task Manager while launching a game, close them and see if your performance increases.

Additionally, some users with this issue found success with clearing their Page File for their computer and re-paging the drive in which their stored their games. Please note that it appears all previous user with this issue cleared their page file/re-paged their drive while on Windows 10. We cannot link to 3rd-party websites in the Forums so you will need to perform your own research on how to perform those steps.

Sincerely,



Xbox Customer Success Manager

Not sure if it's a lag spike but it's pretty funny.

that is the results from Pingtest.net

I have not contacted my ISP yet but I have been gaming for a long time on xbox and this is the first time I have ever experienced these lag spikes.

This was ran while in a game of Black Ops 2.

Without these are my results (during lag spike):
