Why is Xbox cloud so pixelated and delayed?

Henry_12 · Apr 23, 2022

I found out that the show was avaliable on pc (Wish i didnt)

i spent the 15 dollars and got game pass ultimate for the cloud to get The Show

I open it up and i have awful screen tearing and pixelation

I have a 3080 and 2.5 gb ethernet and my friend xbox one still runs the game better]

i dont think there is anything i can do about it just cancel my subscription at this point

Any advice is appreciate, all the things ive seen have been for android devices

Thanks

:)

Hello, Henry_12. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and Microsoft Xbox user.

Here is two guides on how to fix screen tearing on PC. Would you please try the steps on the guides and see if it gets better?

In Game Pass app, go to Settings > Language and Location, and choose the nearest location to a datacenter. It helps with pixelation.

And finally, this is a guide on how to improve Cloud Gaming on Xbox Console Companion:

No I am not playing on the cloud and now some textures look pixel blurred

Hey all - do you have Cloud Storage enabled? If so, this would be the cause for the delay in full shutdown. The console waits until it is powered off to sync with the cloud.

The buffer needed for scaling doesn't need to be very large, only as many lines as the maximum vertical distance between taps in the scaling kernel. It does not rescale the entire source image and buffer it in its entirety before it's output.

Rather, the display controller of the GPU (Xenos) continuously reads out pixels from the front buffer to the scaler, which buffers up maybe 5 or so many lines of the source data, calculates the output pixels from the source pixels, and buffers the result
briefly for feeding to the TV encoder (HANA) as the latter requests the data. I imagine that the scaling is also parallelized, processing multiple output pixels simultaneously.

I imagine that the delay added by the scaling step is a few hundred microseconds at most.

The display in turn syncs to the incoming signal. It might buffer several frames of video before display for reference in performing noise reduction and motion compensation, with or without the ability to bypass the buffering depending on which features
are enabled. That's why the input lag can differ so much between different brands and models.
