Problem with lagg since update(4 Vids & a kind of solution?)
Since the update, on any track that i play i get redraw problems (lines on the screen overlap) this is slightly annoying but i can handle it.
What i cant handle is game lagg ... on a lot of the original SP levels, the game will lagg out a lot and sometimes to a level where u think and sometimes with the redraw prob kicking in at the same time ( so u cant even see the obsticles properly)
This is frustrating because in a game where precision is so much, it add extra pressure when ure trying to do a plat run, also in the back of ure head u know its going to happen at some point so cannot relax
Are the dev`s aware of this problem?
Is it fixable or will it cost u another 20 - 40k?
If its fixable any idea of when the patch will get released?
Well ive left it 3 days n had bugger all responce so i have to assume im the only one with these probs
I spent an evening online (3 hours) n put a vid together of the problems i get daily.
I can handle waiting around for a long time to get peeps in MP, ghost riders & the game selectiing things for me.
What i cant handle is when the game glitches/freezes halfway thru a level (usually ends in a fault ruining my race) and i cant handle it when obsticles that im supposed to get over dont appear until ive landed on it??
Both these things in MP make it really hard to enjoy/play the game the way it was intended
I dont know what else i can do at my end to ensure there is a sufficant connection to stop this problem?
Ive opened up these MS ports on my firewall > 3074,80,88,53 which are the ones recommended by MS, ive also tried playing with the DMZ on, but its still the same.
Tbh I doubt its a connection issue at my end at all as i can watch the Iplayer & lovefilm via my xbox no probs & the only other game i own that i have connection issue with is MWF2 which is renownd for problems anyway.
Can anyone suggest anything that i have missed to help resolve this issue or is this a problem with the patch that was released? or is this a MS server issue that i`ll just have to put up with?
The tracks themselves aren't hosted on a server. They're hosted on your Xbox. What kind of storage device is the game ... umm... stored on (HDD, MU, USB)?
If you have a device that isn't streaming the game to your console fast enough, which is the only thing I can think of that would cause this problem, then the issue will continue.
If its on your Xbox HDD, then try moving it to a USB drive. Let me know if that does anything to alleviate the game lag.
Try to get a high speed USB, the faster the read speed is the better, I put all my Evo stuff on a USB along time ago and never had any problems. Since this latest patch I have been getting a lot of lag in TC, only in the menus though never on a track so hopefully this will help you too.
You need to open your NAT google a tutorial on it or find it on xbox.com Moderate makes it harder for connectivity in gaming. Surprised you had no issues untill now.
I have opened my nat with all the ports MS advises as mentioned b4, as said ive even had the DMZ on too but it make no difference
moving the game to a usb key kinda makes sense as ive got an old xbox n the Hd might be on the way out, but why doesnt it happen in other games too idk?? I just want to get this prob sorted, so i`l try what shifty advised n see if i have anyluck there.
I used a 8G Sancruzer > http://www.sandisk.com/products/usb/.../?capacity=8GB < its usb2 n a good make so it should have a good data transfer rate?? I tried it in the 2 front usbs, with the same results, i can fit it in the back usb tho, too big.
The glitching/freezing problems were the same, but now its happening 2-3 times in a race, every race, any track
Ive got to the stage that if it glitches and it buggers my lead, i just plane refuse to finish the track as im never going to get a fair race, so i dont see the point in trying ... its a whole new form of rage quiting So ive moved it back to the xbox HD, save my sanity
Going with the Idea that i still could be a HD issue, do u know of anyway of de-fraggin the xbox drive, ive owned a 20g HD for over 3 years now n the amount of programs installed and uninstalled, u would think a defrag would help?
Any other ideas u can give before i take the drastic measure of removing everything, trying to format the HD, re-download games n then praying?
Have you done anything recently? Switched storage device, tv, hdmi cables anything like that and is the issue only online? Some usb drives are at fault with xbox 360 they have an official xbox360 usb I believe. Microsoft constantly changes their supported devices and policies, just a few months back they stopped support for third party controllers im thinking flash drives might not work either.. Some music devices no longer read on xbox360. Several versions of windows are no longer supported on computers, sucks but this stuff happens. No support simply means use at your own risk, not supported, not reccommended. Hit and miss.
