XR700 - Continuous Lag whilst online gaming
Hi there, I have been struggling with online gaming (mostly Destiny 2 and some COD:MW) since I purchased the XR700 about 3 months ago. I have followed all of the guides but I feel like there is ...
Sorry to hear you're having this issue. What is the model of the ISP modem? Is it a pure modem or a combo? Are you measuring your ping with the Geo-Filter at all? Have you seen this increase?
Hi Fraser, thanks for replying.
The modem is an Arris CM8200. It was supplied when I got my NBN connection a few years ago. I've made no changes to it since I got it, but happy to further investigate that.
As for Ping in Geofencing, I haven't seen this increase. With Destiny it changes depending on the server location but the ping rates I've seen have been consistent with the host - around 13-18 sec if the host is in my state, 25 or so sec to the next state. I haven't done a test whilst gaming in PVP and someone else is streaming specifically looking at that to see if it increases under those conditions, but I will give that a go this afternoon.
- Did you manage to do that test? If so what were your findings?
Hi Fraser,
I managed to conduct a brief test on one PVP game and the ping was fluctuating between 50-110ms for a server about 1500km away. The game felt mildly laggy at that point, but I wasn't getting the really bad 'can't aim' lag at that time. I'm actually on holidays away from home this week, so I'll do more testing when I get home and let you know how it goes.
