Tried to play co-op and couldn’t as it was too rubber bandy. Tried single and still see lag. It’s not our internet, what gives?
We played fine yesterday….

I’m having so much trouble with lag! Started yesterday also.
I’m from Brazil here.
Died a lot of times because game just freezes

Lag has been crazy the past couple of days. Seldom below 300ms, usually MUCH MUCH higher. Unplayable at the moment. I hope a fix comes soon.
Same here in Las Vegas! Couldn’t play over a long weekend. Bummer! Blizzard please address this!
I’m sure it’s an issue due to server overcrowding and overcrowding has been a consistent issue throughout season 4. This has also been an issue that they refuse to address for some unknown reasons

My Xbox keeps switching to 2.4ghz on a 5ghz shared band
I rubber band all day long on 2.4. makes no sense. Its packet loss but the packet size should be the same on both.
so are you saying D4 is switching your Xbox’s wireless connection to 2.4GHz or was that just a precursor to you telling us you have a crappy wireless connection?
Neither.
The Xbox network+ blizz network is the weak link.
I’m an old school IT guy. One of my specialties is actually network performance. I have a script that pings the Kremlin that I use to tune networks.
Sure I care less these days- but there is packet loss on Blizzards cross-play network. And I don’t care to hack my Xbox to resolve their issue.
I know one fix for that problem.
Either turn off the 2.4GHz band on the router, or split the bands into two differently named WiFi’s and make sure the Xbox doesn’t connect to the 2.4 one.
Sure, either option is a PITA, but I had this issue with my laptop, and it had nothing to do with Blizzard at all. It would grab the 2.4 because it’s stronger in field strength than the 5 (from the same router at the same distance) and thus it thinks because its stronger its better. But when connected to the 2.4, my overall speed dropped and latency increased.
So I disabled my laptop’s ability to connect to any WiFi signal other than 5Ghz. Problem solved. (until I’m someplace where I don’t have an option for 5GHz)
But that’s entirely an opinion on something for you to try. Good luck.
Good move- but… Get this… Windows Surface tablets (up to at least v7) don’t have that option!!!
A lot of IoT devices require 2.4 as well. I have all smart home devices on this channel.
FYI: If you do have a Surface tablet you have to turn off power efficiency mode at the video card driver level to maintain a strong wifi connection over 15’. Its called wfff or something (windows who the heck cares lets abbreviate it all so no one knows what it is).
I took a break for awhile. I came back after about three weeks and now its rubberbanding like hell. I know it’s not my internet or my PC. It’s quite frustrating. One of my friends quit because he was constantly disconnecting.
