Lag when hosting on Xbox One FPS games

We recommend accessing 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.

I have never had a lag problem or the fps drop in the game even when im host so I do not know what the reason is.

I have had lag in every FPS I have ever played. Even games with dedicated servers. This is no different. What I have noticed is lag starts when people quit or the system picks a host that is good at the time but then something happens. You never know
what could be going on in the hosts home i.e. someone else could have gotten on the internet.

Point is, don't be so quick to blame the game. There are other factors.

My issue with dedicated servers has never been about lag, although a good dedicated server setup will make a difference if setup correctly, for me its about even play, peer to peer give the host an advantage, which is why Black OPs 2 while the game play
was good, you knew who was host in most games, half a seconds advantage in FPS shooters when most of the gameplay is on reaction is massive.

One other thing is uninterrupted game play, this means no host migrations, no delays if people leave or join, etc.

Yeah, CoD is a CONNECTION based FPS, no doubt. Its definately rage time when lag hits. A "locale" search could help with standard lag I think (and BO2 should have it). Lag switching is very noticable and easily observed IMHO. I believe the lag switcher has
to pick up host and when he "switches" everybody freezes EXCEPT him. If he holds the switch "off" for too long, he will lose the connection (like a host dashboarding). I havent witnessed any lag switching in MW3, but I did in BO1 like two times. It can happen,
but its a rareity.
