I hope someone can answer this query here? I've asked everywhere and not one person seems to know of a solution. I've googled and searched for an answer and still nothing. Thanks in advance if you can help me!
My problem is I seem to have a timeout periodically during a match. In which time I'm looking at the lobby (like what happens when someone is quitting) but the game is still ongoing. Then I'll be back in the game, usually after being killed by someone because my character is just standing still.
It happened to me during Halo 3 too. None of my friends have had this problem. I have OPEN NAT settings so don't understand how my internet can be affecting this. But I guess it must seeing it doesn't happen to anyone else I know. Is it it something to do with how the server is set up? Does anyone else have this issue?
If anyone could help me get round this I would be entirely grateful.
Thanks!
Well, it would really help to have more information about your setup such as: ISP, download/upload rate (measured), make/model of modem and/or router, wired/wireless, whether you live in an apartment/dorm or a single family home, etc.
But... without knowing what is what, I would start testing to eliminate problems by simplifying your internal network to possibly isolate a particular piece of hardware as the culprit.
I would take your Xbox and plug it directly into your inbound internet connection (most likely a cable/dsl modem). Then test your connection by playing a few games. If you already have open NAT with your current setup, this change should not impact that. We are simply testing to see if a router or other piece of hardware is causing your problems.
If, after testing under these conditions for a while, you STILL experience the same problems, then we can reasonably assume the problem is in your dsl/cable modem or on your ISP's end, in which case a phone call should help you.
If, on the other hand, you seem to be operating fine while just connected to the modem, then we can start looking at the device(s) between the modem and your Xbox (or the box itself).
Try this out, if you want, and get back to us. Also provide more information if you can.
