Hi all,
I could use some help with lowering my ping in game. I seem to be getting down to about 70 m/s at the very best, and I'm curious to see if my settings are not optimized or if I'm just SOL.
Here are the settings I have changed:
Located in Jacksonville, FL. Set my Geo Filter to the Atlanta, GA server only. I have experimented with the Miami server but haven't had any success in lowering ping.
Auto Detected my Upload and Download Speeds, they are 31 Mbps and 301 Mbps respectively. Congestion Control set to 70% for each, experimented with less to no avail, as well as a throttle to 2 Mbps up/down.
Ping Assist disabled.
Xbox Series X is in a DMZ, no port forwarding, NAT filtering set to Open.
IPv6 enabled
Set the Bandwidth Allocation to 60%+ for Up/Down
Traffic Prioritization: added my Xbox as a device, see below:
I had a few observations as well in my time trying to figure this out:
Ping Under Load always seems to spike when I use the Connection Benchmark feature. It can go upwards of 100 m/s in the Upload test. See below for the BEST test I ran.
Not sure how helpful this is, but playing with some friends located throughout Florida a couple nights back yielded a completely different gaming experience. No first shot-first to die, smooth gameplay etc. I'd say it was an anomaly but this happened for multiple games, then going back on my own was like flipping a switch.
I really can't put my finger on what's going on, if it means I need to upgrade to the R1 I'm happy to do so, but some insight would be great, maybe some tips to try out.
Thank you so much for your time, I realize you probably get a ton of these inquiries, I'm just a little lost and could use some guidance.
