Heavy lag on xbox one??
@nicovero
Im having the same problem, i also did a post about it:
https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/49917/im-getting-lag/2Ever since the most recent patch that added open/closed crews and failed, the Xbox One has been experiencing extreme lag spikes. My character will stutter when moving, taking and placing items in barrels is not working correctly, and jumping is absolutely terrifying. I luckily haven't had to fight much in the few hours I've tried to play, but I sincerely doubt I will be of any use like this.
In the last couple weeks of playing, everything has been as good as it's going to get by playing on a console. This has only been a problem for me since the new patch.
I am sure some of you have tried this but anytime I begin a session and there is any lag while gathering resources at the outpost I just leave and join a new session. I feel sometimes you get thrown into a bad region and such. If this is happening in every session then obviously it is a huge problem. I haven't been able to play yet today hopefully it isn't happening for everyone.
I just experienced the worst lag while returning to port after a successful shipwreck haul. I had three skulls, two crates, and a chest to bring in, but once I approached landfall, my sloop sailed through seawater like I was semi-submerged. Without pause, I weighed anchor and immediately sought to unload my booty before the server crashed or some other connection error occurred. Instead, I was "treated" to the worst frame-rate abuse ever, where every move on my controller resulted in one pace forward, two giant leaps back!
I made several recordings, which I'm currently uploading to Xbox Live. I'm also considering posting them to YouTube, since they are just horrendous examples of a game the clearly was not thoroughly tested, along with a lack of support for server capacity. It's bad enough having to deal with griefers and connection issues, but this is completely unacceptable!
I've just about had it with playing this game, and am so glad that I have it for free via GamePass. If I had spent money on this game outright, I would demand a refund!
Things seem to have gotten better for me for the most part. Maybe I was just unlucky with the servers I landed in at the time, but lag has been fine these last few days. Although, now I occassionally softlock and have to restart the game. Game froze up on me twice yesterday out of nowhere, and a few times a couple days ago during loading screens. One time it actually resumed playing, the others I had to restart the game.
