WORST Gaming Experience of My Life (Xbox Dedicated Servers a JOKE!!!)

AssortedKarma77 · Apr 29, 2017

I have been experiencing MASSIVE lag (pretty much constant except for very SMALL periods of respite) on XBOX Dedicated Servers (AUSTRALIA) for the last 9 MONTHS!!!

Playing Halo 5 Guardians, now it is even effectiing Fifa 17.

I have friends from India, Texas (US), Northern Australia, Melbourne Australia (Where I am from), all experiencing POOR gameplay.

I routinely have +350ms latency! Sometime less then 1mbps upload and recently 2% packet loss?

My ping with google.com is 25ms and my ISP latency is 20ms? Why is Xbox Live like 15x as much???!

Why isn't 343/Microsoft game studios fixing this? It's been progressively getting worse for the last 9 months. I now OFTEN lag out of games and out of XBOX Live altogether? What is going on?

Let’s Play BC1!!!

I have never been spawnraped like I have in BC1. Worst gaming experience of my life, and I got rid of that game immediately.

developers using azure cloud computing?

Totally agree with @Burst.

@Biscuit - yes the servers take up resources, but the Azure servers aren't just for gaming. MS is committed to them running for a wide range of clients/processes. It's certainly more efficient to use the Azure servers than dedicated servers - and will
lead to longer life of games (if gamers still play the game). It's "dedicated" servers that are a potential waste of resource.

My experience with this game has been smoother than anything else I've ever played. I'm always connecting to the US Midwest server and my ping is always less than 35ms.

I suspect, with dedicated servers, that connections are going to be more consistent but will also favor players with the closest geographical proximity to the dedicated server.

The worst experience I had when playing Titanfall was last night when I tried running a Twitch livestream while playing. Having Twitch streaming turned on really killed the experience in my game. Lots of lag and jumping around. Once I stopped the livestream
everything went back to normal and I didn't see any lag the rest of the evening.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a concrete way of telling if the game will be on a dedicated server? Given that, I have only experienced noticeable lag once or twice.

THA 1 BEHIND YA

Game has lagged once for me and not one person on the other team spoke english. Just over 100 matches, so things seem to be working 2 me.

Works fine for me. I bet it's just your connection.
