I see. Am i the only person that is curious about this. Whenever the network graph pops up (cause i have it set to come up when there is an issue) its alway this extr offset. Then the game is laggy and i get shot. Lol. Ive looked through the forums and there is no answer as to what it is or how to fix it.

good luck - @Mo3tazibrahim Thanks for the reply. I guess i should have stated tgis is on a xbox one x. Wired connection with a Samsung ssd.
Extrapolation offset is how many milliseconds the client (Xbox) is buffering incoming packets it's receiving from the game server.
The more unstable the connection is to the server, the higher this number goes. Which is bad, because it means packets the server is sending to you are getting delayed (buffered in Xbox memory) before being displayed on the TV screen. Obviously this puts you behind in reflex time compared to players with a low extrapolation number.
The reason for extrapolation is to smooth out the movement of other players when packet loss or ping time fluctions (netw vrtn) happen. Otherwise players would teleport around.
You can try connecting to servers in a different region and see if that helps. If it doesn't then it's probably an issue with the home router or ISP.
- @OskooI_007 Thanks for clearing this up for me. Idk what i can do to help it out. I never have packet loss or any other issue
