TentedPhoenix Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I don't mean to moan as Im sure the guys at Netduma do a great job, I don't know if it is the new update on the BO3 XBox1. But it seems to me that something aint right. I have tried all different settings and double checked that I have all the correct boxes changed and ticked. But I either wait a week for a game and when i get in it is like I have a new kangaroo specialist as the lag is so bad, or it plays half decent and after a couple of minutes it migrates the host over and over. then it tells me i have disconnected from the host. But if I un-tick strict mode I can get a game that isn't terrible but isnt what I thought it would be. It just seems that the Duma isn't working like I thought, it tells me my ping is 35 but I can empty a clip of a LMG into someone and still get done by one shot. Sorry for the rant but its soo annoying as I spend more time fiddling with the settings in the Duma, checking the forum for any tips and waiting for a game than actually playing it.. Is anyone else getting these problems or am i just a lucky one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JConnor Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 It's the XB1 servers. They are absolute trash from my experience. The main reason is XB1 is relying more on P2P to pick up the slack of not many XB1 purchases. Sony outsold them 2:1, and now we can see with a major MP AAA title this isn't just marketing hyperbole. Even if you get on a dedicated server, it's still pretty horrid, from my experience. The new update *should* help if you follow all the instructions on the update page, but not even the mighty Netduma can solve bad hardware, congested lines, etc. which I think may be the biggest problem with these dedicated servers, let alone the host migrations when some kid is getting rekt and decides to quit the match. On top of all this, Activision's "wonderful" MM allows people from other countries to play on domestic servers, so this is also going to screw players over who should be having much better quality games.

TentedPhoenix Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Thanks for the reply, but I have installed the new update and if anything it has got worse. The ping graph shows spiking all over the place 0-1000ms, but the game shows the ping at 35ms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TentedPhoenix Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 This is with the strict off. but it is playable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TentedPhoenix Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 With strict on and the PA @ 0ms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaRRRith Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Since the update, i have the same "problem" as you for the ping graph spike 0-1000ms. I don't know what it means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy885 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 HI as @Fuzzy said make sure you follow this guide http://forum.netduma.com/topic/9124-major-router-upgrade-now-available-v-1035/ Also are you using a wired connection? And the XB1 Servers are crap as i don't have this issue when playing on PC. - Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaRRRith Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Did you guys follow all the steps to upgrade correctly ? Yep, step by step. As Jconnor & Tommy said, maybe it's just the servers... PS4 FR/EU btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 23, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 23, 2015 Okay firstly your radius is incredibly small, I would recommend widening that to ~1000km or the equivalent in miles. Are you also using congestion control? 70/70 sliders to rule out local congestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TentedPhoenix Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Thanks, I have followed all the steps following the update, I was playing with the radius trying to force connection to different servers. my sliders have been 70/70 even upto 95/95. I have virgin router and have the duma connected to that to allow only gaming to go through the duma along with devices which i can connect to the duma. I have also done a diagnosis test and everything is Good although last night it showed the spikes as excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TentedPhoenix Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 this is with the PA switched off. there doesn't seem to be much difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JConnor Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 There are so many variables to why pings spike to try and pinpoint just one is futile. However, there are a few main ones that can contribute to spikes... The first one being congestion. The second one can be general atmospheric electromagnetic interference along the route to and from the server. The third one is something none of us have statistical proof in, but it *could* be the netcode algorithm that adds latency a.k..a ping spikes... To "even out" your ping with higher ping players? It's very easy to manipulate latency on a server with simple commands and if the netcode has conditions that say "raise latency on W, X, Y, clients to equal high ping client Z", this may be what is happening, but again, I must stress we have no quantifiable, or repeatable evidence this is happening.

Taff Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 thats the craziest looking ping ive ever seen, i know a pro halo 5 player that had some problems after he bought a "nighthawk" router (also really good router too). he finally fixed it by using the isp router the company used, he was saying, "the players would jump around on the maps making it unplayable", so it was incompatibility with his router that caused it. you should see if that is the problem.

TentedPhoenix Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Im also finding that it is taking an age to load a page on the duma. e.g. if I change from CC to host filtering it takes ages to bring up the screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
