New internet maybe?

Adam FirethornHorrible lag sounds like a connection problem on your end. Personally, I can't see the the different between either mode.
New internet maybe?
8 Mbps. It's more Open Mode is just the most annoying thing is adding up these several long seconds while trying to access Mission Board, jumping between systems, Outfit screen, etc. I'm speaking about Xbox One, mind me.

Lyon DeLacyWell, it's not my fault there are horrible lags in Open Mode (mission board can load up to 10 seconds longer than usually), that's why I play Private Groups for 99% of time. Also, I already stated this excludes a rather big group of Xbox One and PS4 players due to the fact they don't pay the fees for network access and can play Solo only.
Gonna need to see some numbers on that XBOX/PS4 claim. The XBOX Elite Community is small and the ones that PowerPlay even smaller than that.
I've seen this claim made a few times and having been very deep in the XBOX community I don't think it holds much water at all.

Adam FirethornStill sounds like an internet issue. There really shouldn't be a difference in opening the menus on either platform.
Oh but there is a serious difference. And I have stable 8mbps that had been tested a few times with different games. The framerate, the lag is so serious in Open at times it is just unplayable.

Adam FirethornRight, well since I don't play on Xbox I would like to see other opinions on that topic from Xbox players?
Having played XBOX and PC I can say that it's just so very, very rough on the XBOX. My machine is a couple years old though and I've heard of better performance from the newer XBOXes, but sadly the device just isn't as well optimized.

I see! Well that certainly stinks.

I play from Australia and have constant lag with every multiplayer online game, anywhere from 100-400ms. I play in open and Combat other players often, usually from the US. I get the occasional rubber-banding or glitch but that's par for the course, it is what it is and there is no point complaining. my advice, get used to it and have fun, I can still escape just fine when needed, even 5 vs me.

Phisto SobaniiIt is what it is.
Lyon, do you PowerPlay?
Not according to his Inara profile.
I would have thought that console players who enjoy online-multiplayer-conflict-type games would already have their subscriptions to do so?
Or do the players we're talking about just use their consoles to play Elite in Solo / PG?
Not a console player, so that's a genuine question.

Speaking for myself personally, I maintain a PS+ subscription, so the paywall isn't an issue for me, but I can see how it could be for others. Although in ED I'm pretty much a solo/PG player.

I have Fibre running at an average of 216mb/sec wired unfortunately I think xbox can only take 80mb/sec but do not notice to much lag, the wifi for my son and grandson both running Cod at the same time as I am on ED they get 50+mb/sec. So I would recommend you contact your provider to boost your signal which may help and to make sure the correct ports are port forward.
