Why has my latency jumped from 10 to 170+?

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Ahmed

Usually these latency problems are related to the network itself.
If you have the console connected via Wi-Fi this can happen more frequently

But let’s try to improve your latency, for this please try first everything from this article:

Let me know how it goes

xcloud is a joke though, you turn on the pad and 10 seconds later the action appears, yes slightly exaggerated but the latency for cloud gaming is not the future and never will be. i have even tried xcloud on a gigabit connection with 10ms ping to several hundred miles away and still has huge latency. until they get the latency down to a hardwired controller on a pc then it will be useless.

its like going from 144fps to 30fps, thats the feeling you get when playing xcloud latency jump from a few ms to seconds.

Hi BigWhiskey91,

I can confirm that the HDMI input has approx 170 milli-seconds of latency. On top of a typical display lag, you're looking at over 200ms of overall latency.

I have my xbox 360 going through it now and it's un-playable.

FYI ... Method of measurement : I modified an xbox 360 controller with a light sensor and created an xna app that measures display lag by flashing the display and waiting for a response from the modified controller.

Xbox one is great ... but stick with passive content on the hdmi input.

It's not so much a sign of stability, but less jumps to your ISP/Microsoft. I would imagine most of the US have a better latency for that particular test. For example Titanfall which uses west europe sever has a 20ms latency

not just about pure connection speed, it is latency that they have to account for, pumping more bitrate will introduce latency, you don't see this much with standard video content that you watch as it can buffer that, but with games latency is felt with the controls, press jump and if you have to much latency you will not see your character jump anywhere from .3 to 1.5 seconds which is the worse.

upload and download latency being very low is crucial for cloud gaming and with the current internet infrastructure around the world is difficult to work with.

unless you live next to a data center then you have to live with it.
