Curious about Xbox Game Pass for PC - will upcoming network infra differ from Steam ?

iiuc - Destiny 2 and all expansions will eventually come to Xbox Game Pass for PC ~c. 2021. IMO the networking and cheating issues that are plaguing the game on PC were drastically increased with the move from Blizz to Steam, both before and after the steam anonymous ports change. I am wondering if the networking infra for the P2P stuff might change when another launcher is involved or 'IF' another launcher will be involved? Crucible used to be something to strive to improve at; at the moment it is not worth caring about buggy hit scan/report. And I don't mean connection problems like the farcical 'i have a full white bar' crap thats in the game. I mean like heavy snipe head shotting a guy (no if and or buts about it -- i'm talking square between the eyes) for no damage 1 moment, and then later in same match just flicking shots willy nilly and hitting 90% crits while side browsing /dtg and chugging a beer. I know this is hallmark of P2P and host swapping, etc... but doesn't it seem much,MUCH worse on Steam than it did on Blizz ? Crossing my fingers that MSFT and Bungo can come up with something better.

  • Here is one thing that has come up where I just don't care about this so much anymore... I used to love those that were cheating, as when I took them down it was even more satisfying... 90%+ of those that are actually super good are blamed as cheaters. (taking them out is a satisfying challenge as well) GETTING OLD... it sucks I was playing a mario game on the switch with a round of questions... my 14 yr old was consistently winning... all because my fingers are not as quick as they used to be. That is when I realized it.. my fingers no longer have the response time they used to. How many times I see someone with a sliver of health walk away from a shootout in pvp... :( So now... its about working the fringes and being sneaky instead of running into the foray. (I still run in... but it usually doesn't end well) Not to be dismissive or anything, the lag issues you explained really do suck the fun out of it. Imagine if they took the auto aim feature completely out of the game...
