Xbox Latency issue when 4-player on Series X

Hi all,

Just had to end a 4 player online co op session after a solid 20-25 hours of playing, as issues with latency became so significant that the game is genuinely unplayable.

I’m hosting on an Xbox series X, unmodded, game files all saved onto my local Xbox and no external hard drives etc. Playing with my boyfriend in the same household and sharing with 2 others in 2 different households.
Game will randomly go black at times for others but not me, the host.

Huge latency issues where my other players can stand for 30 seconds before an item lets them pick an item up that’s on the ground. This is particularly bad in the skull caverns, and gets worse with longer wait times the more we play and the more items/crops/entities we have in the world. There is also huge latency when fighting in the cavern, where due to the delays, it’s pretty much an insta kill as knock back doesn’t work and monsters can kill you before you have the chance / are able to move.

Most recent update, owned game, downloaded to Xbox, not playing via cloud, not modded. Genuinely has made us all put the game down and move onto something new, which is a genuine shame.
