360 live & lag

[thecaptain]

this is my experience:

pgr3: no problems
perfect dark: no problems

doa4: laggy
rr6: laggy

the interesting thing here is:

doa4: this was laggy even when i was the host of a game
rr6: this was laggy even when i was the host of a game and no others players in!

am i missing something? how can i be experiencing lag when i am hosting? and especially when there were no other people connected!


your thoughts would be appreciated. craig.

it could be that DOA4 and RR6 use central servers like Halo 2 does. So even though you're hosting it means you're still connected to the server like everyone else and you just set the game options.

I've only played DoA4 online once (against A-N-D-Y) and there was no lag at all. Could have just been a bad server, thats all.

i only get lag in ridge racer 6 when some american guys are on.
i heard there internet service in some areas is rubbish.
i am on blueyonder 10 meg download and if i host a game with english people i do not get lag.

That's probably because they are like several thousand miles away..

only time i get lag with RR^ is if my xbox360 is setup for Windows Media Connect with the pc, disable that in xbox360 so its not connected and RR6 has been flawless online

I have been having mixed results since starting to play Fifa online its only laggy on like 1 in 5 games or so, im the same as you with PGR its fine always.

Been suffering Doa4 lag so don't even play it online anymore which is a shame...

Just finally got round to opening RR6 (had it since the day it was released) and will probably have a quick race online later on today so will report back then

disabling windows media connect solved the rr6 problem. thanks. i think this should be noted by all. it made a big difference.
