The PvE part of the game is fine for me (or maybe it lags but I just don't notice) but in PvP I have a higher latency than I should have.
Thanks to the Shotgun meta it's very noticeable - for example someone will kill me and [b]then [/b]a fraction of a second [i]afterwards[/i] I see the shot coming from the enemy's shotgun. Or super frequent trade-kills. If the other person is also lagging it just gets worse (for example I shoot an enemy, get behind cover and 0.5-1s later I get the kill).
People that I play with don't experience this problem, or at least not to this degree (there's of course still people lagging every now and then).
I play on PC.
My conclusion is that my latency must be subpar - but why? My 25k down 5k up connection is more than enough, nobody else is using my internet connection and most importantly: other games work just fine.
I've opened the ports and have an open NAT (as opposed to I believe moderate before) and my firewall doesn't block Destiny 2. My internet connection/port has also already been reset from my ISP's end.
While the problem is not making the game unplayable, it is persistent and pretty annoying.
Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?
TL;DR higher latency but only in crucible (or Destiny in general?), other games work fine. Why?

7 RepliesThe other games work fine argument is not a great one to lean on. Destiny's PvP is somewhat unique, in that it heavily relies on it's own P2P connections (and some server connections otherwise). There is also some recent investigation by the crucible community into some cable modems not playing nice with Destiny: https://www.reddit.com/r/CruciblePlaybook/comments/9qtiad/serious_crucible_laglatency_issue_all_modems_with/ Bungie does also have some network optimization instructions that you can follow to see if it does anything for you: https://www.bungie.net/en/Support/Troubleshoot?oid=12915
