Halo Infinite developers address latency issues, promise fix to lag and desync in future updates
Latency and frequent desyncs from the server have been one of the biggest issues in Halo Infinite’s multiplayer experience. Ever since the shooter dropped in November last year, server connectivity was one of the biggest gripes that the community had towards 343 Industries’ title.
Fortunately, the developers seem to be aware of the problems players see with latency and desync. In a recent blog post, they opened up about some changes that they will look to introduce in future patches.
Some problems they discussed in the blog talk specifically about the desync between the server and the client and how that specifically leads users to experience hit registration issues and being shot around the corner.
Missing collision and “melee phasing” have also been recurring issues, which 343 Industries have discussed in great length, and will also be some of the things they will address down the line.
Server updates will not be the only things that Halo Infinite gamers can look forward to in the future. 343 Industries seems to have also deployed an update that brings a lot of quality-of-life changes to the matchmaking system.
The new tweaks will give more priority to ping and latency and emphasize allowing the client to connect to servers closer to its region. 343 Industries’ Lead Sandbox Engineer Richard Watson stated in the blog:
