Packet Loss?

Anyone ever suddenly get packet loss but only when playing DBD?

I can't figure out ######### is going on. I even have an app looking at my internet to see if its dropping but it isn't.

It would sometimes have no impactand just show the yellow icon. Then it started doing the teleport crap in game when showing the red icon. Luckily I was never dropped from a match from it.

Until today. Now I have a 15 minute penalty from this. I don't get why it only occurs with DBD.

    May or not be related, as I'm very far from an expert, but I've seen others say the game has a memory leak problem. All I know is for me the longer I would play DBD the worse it would run. So I got I to the habit of restarting my Xbox every 3-4 trials and it would run the game better.

    Are you on Series X? That issue seems gone on that console at least to me.

    That was for sure a thing on the OG One and somewhat on the Xbox One X. You need to reset after a few matches. I cant speak for Series S?

    Since you know about xbox. You know how when you lose internet it dashboards you and says check network? Or you hit guide and most of the top icons are grey? I've literally turned on the xbox and let it sit there for an hour at a time while im doiing PC stuff watching for it to seemingly have a connection issue. Never once do I see anything go wrong

    But lately once I load DBD up. There is like a 30% chance I start to see the packet loss symbol in game. It's really weird. Only today did I actually get dropped from a match. But when I am not technically IN a match it dashboards me. Weird how being in game actually buys a bit of leeway.

    Usually I run the network test and sometimes would see very TINY packet loss. Run the test again and see ZERO packet loss and everything would be good to go.

    Like ######### does everything always have to be so random and ahrd to pinpoint for.

    Yeah I'm in Series X. True it's more stable than it was on my Xbox1x, but I still do the restarting and rarely get the dashboarding nonsense anymore. It is definitely just with DBD though, always has been.
