Latency and Lag in Xbox cloud Gaming ?

pc power has nothing much to do with it, also 200 Mbps download is also not much to do with it, it is latency that is the issue and all depends how busy all the networks are and if you are wireless there could be interference causing latency.

Hello Dev D, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this latency issue, it has happened lately.
We can try to solve the problem, however these problems can only be solved by waiting a little.

Close other applications and processes. Make sure there are no other applications or processes running that are consuming your computer's resources. Close any unnecessary programs or background applications that may be using your computer's CPU or memory. This can help improve Xbox cloud gaming performance.

Adjust graphics and streaming quality settings Within the Xbox cloud gaming app, check your graphics and streaming quality settings. You can try adjusting these settings to a lower level to reduce the load on your computer and improve performance. This may mean sacrificing some visual details, but can help reduce latency.

Best regards.

@VG The cloud will be on launch but in a very limited capacity as stated by MS themselves. And the MS Cloud will not be without latency issues either.

I find it funny how people don't understand that.

I can't remember where I read it but using CoD as an example..."the cloud will get rid of host migration, but users can still experience lag due to latency issues"

nah, haven't had any latency problems or lag at all the last 3 months using mainly cloud gaming.

its more of a question on what to use of the 3 top services that's available here.

Hi Kendra,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing lag and stuttering when playing on Xbox Cloud Gaming. Is this happening to all of your games or just selected ones?

Cloud gaming delays are usually caused by a slow internet connection or high latency. Latency is the time it takes for data to travel between your device and the internet server. Here are some tips to reduce latency and improve your cloud gaming experience:

1. Use an ethernet cable: An ethernet cable is faster than Wi-Fi and can significantly reduce latency.

2. If you can only play on Wi-Fi, stay close to your router: Try to position yourself as close to your router as possible, ideally in line of sight.

3. Close other apps and games: Close any apps or games that might be using your bandwidth.

4. Avoid VPNs: VPNs add an extra server that your signal has to travel through.

Regards,

Alvaro
