Game lagging and problems with multiplayer

[Done and Dead]

Version

Most recent

Platform

XBOX

Every time I try to play multiplayer with my friends it does not work properly whether it’s my world or theirs. We have the issue of sinking into the map, sound effects being delayed or off, not being able to pick up or open chest. Sometimes very much delayed. Zombies lagging where you can’t fight.

Recently today my friend was in my world. She couldn’t pick up anything, zombie lagging, when she said she was over somewhere doing something, on my screen she was just standing there.

Making it very difficult to play or want to play this game.

We have tried the resetting the game and xbox but doesn’t seem to help.

Providing a log would improve your chance of getting help with this issue.
That said, the symptoms you describe point to a network problem.
Here are some things to try to address that.
These are the most common causes of network issues:

1: AntiVirus: Add folder exclusions for the game and save folders in your antivirus software.
(on both client and host/server)

2: oem gaming or network optimizers, like Gamefirst from Asus, Gigabyte LAN Optimizer, HP's Omen, Dell,
Corsair, Razor, etc.
Uninstall all this junkware.

3: VPN or proxy: Use split tunneling to add an exception for the game.
Or turn off the vpn.

4: Using Wifi. (WiFi is half-duplex, encrypted, and subject to interference) Use Ethernet instead.

5: Many newer routers have built in security apps which may be interfering with the game's network.
Log into your router to see if this is happening.
