Too bad X-Link has very few games that are running. XBConnect has many more players, and the connection of the game just depends on who is hosting. Always check to see what the ping is of the room, and where the host is located. If the host is in Europe, and you are in the States, then I would advise picking other game.

| I have everything set up correctly and I have a router. I use XBConnect and Gamespy. XBConnect lags all the time and is very annoying. Gamespy has no lag and always runs fine with little or no lag. Does anyone know what could be causing XBConnect to have lag and Gamespy to have no lag? It is annoying because the people on gamespy suck and XBConnect the people are usually better and you can get better games, but its annoying because XB lags all the time. We tried a lot of things but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas? |
I played on xbconnect last night with my friend and it was laggin...everything was skipping.

well shanafan, we need more people to actually set up games and play...if everyone just runs to wherever the most people are, there wont be much of a user base established, even though xlink has less lag overall...

XBC gains popularity thus more people unknowing how bandwidth and network traffic can effect playing, start right up and host. Following me?
Now take a percentage of that and figure how many try joining rather than hosting... still with me?
From this you get the ample reports of XBC lagging and how it sucks compared to <Insert tunnel here>
The jump from 1.9 to 2.0 was just as hectic as going to 3.0 it gets the same reports time after time. I agree the compression thing has effected gameplay but we've already fixed that. It could be released at the present time but then again... more people would complain that there's a new release every week.

No. I dont follow you.. XBC has gone from like 400-500 ppl online at once down to like 200-300 over the last few months, and its not just new users who think its lagging more.. some old hands are saying the same thing..
It's probably just a little bug somewhere in the 3.0 codebase.. get www.ethereal.com on it, it should be easy to fix..

Hmmm well... not all the time.
I hosted Halo 2 days ago on XBC... Nice slideshow. We switched to GameSpy... no lag...
Can't explain.

We mainly play local games in the city and some friends of mine didnt know about Xlink yet.
They told me to hop on a give it a shot, each game lagged out part way through.
We had some of the best preformance from the 2.* versions.
Now we play on xlink as the games are killer smooth for local city play.
Shanafan, did you code XBC?
Im not here to flame or say which program is better, they all have thier benifits and faults
But i dont think its right to say that its not the program without actually coding it or having some hand in the design. all possibilities should be considered.

BTW, since some people claim this topic should not be in the XBConnect forum, I will move this to the Gamespy-related forum.
