Halo Reach help please

This is unplayable for me.
4 of us in coop, framerate smooth as butter but has large stutters every 10 seconds or so.

Worse than that controls are laggy both kB/M and Xbox pad.

Push left and takes half a second to respond. Stop moving and again takes a few extra steps.

Played at 4k and QHD also vsync on and off.

Seems worse when thingss get busy but always issue is there.

Internet is fine for all other games
Have a rtx3090 with zen 3 5800x

Tried various drivers and also fast sync on and off.

Thanks

This type of thing requires some digging on Steam and Waypoint forums. The code is sloppy in areas and i've read repeated issues with co-op being an issue with disconnects etc.

The game runs well on low end systems so hardware is not the case unless friends are running HDDs or routers not liking xbox live. I ran this game on a I3 6100 previously.

At the bottom there's a guide for a virtual LAN, hope that helps.

I have played it in single player only and it ran fine, 2080ti and 3900x, best thing is to run single player and see if you still have the problems it helps to narrow down the problem as Arbiter said

Try playing full screen windowed if you can? Some games don’t like full screen.

Yeah the netcode for coop isn't worth trying. When Halo 3 came out, I found someone on the Steam forums looking to run through the game in coop. Horrible experience and very much ruined the chance I'd try yet another one in coop. So it's disappointing to see they haven't fixed this major issue.
