Lagging during races

I enjoy NFS Unbound. But the lagging I experience makes it pointless to run races.

Throughout the whole race, other people I'm racing with cars will come to a complete halt, making me crash out. Then their car speeds ahead a light speed. Even if I dodge the cars when this happens, if im in the way when their car snaps back, my car gets knocked way in the air or off of the track.

How can I fix this?

    Hi @COMEGITDISWERK 

    When you have a moment, can we try the following?

    • Quit the game and other running apps from Quick Resume (For Series X|S consoles)
    • Remove any connected device, or additional USB's from the console then restart the Xbox and check
    • Check for updates 
    • Try the steps in our Connection and Advance Connection Guides 
    • Open you're Xbox NAT Type
    • Change DNS settings (You can use the public google DNS primary: 8.8.8.8, secondary: 8.8.4.4, unless there is a different DNS you would rather use)  
    • Persistent Storage 
      • Go to settings > Select Device & Connections > Then Blue-Ray 
      • Select Persistent Storage > Clear Persistent Storage 
    • Alternate Mac: 
      • Go to settings > Select General  > Then Network settings 
      • Go to advanced settings > Alternate Mac address > Select clear 
      • Select restart
