    PC - Game Bar party chat is super laggy and unresponsive. Random disconnects. Any...


    As the title says. When I am invited to a party, it will take about 2 or more minutes for it to actually load the party window, then another minute to show anyone's names in the party. When I finally do get in, I am unable to hear anyone and vice versa. When I try to disconnect, it will not leave the party. It recognizes that I clicked the disconnect button but will not respond for at least a few minutes. Most times I have to force quit the Game Bar application.

    This does not happen when I am hosting my own party, however I will get quietly disconnected after a few minutes; I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me but it shows that I am still in the party. And again cannot leave the party without quitting Game Bar entirely. There are no error messages in either instance.

    This has been happening primarily while playing FH6 which I am able to run fine and have gotten party chat to work with before. But this is happening 99% of the time anymore.

    I have attempted to reset, repair and set it to always run in the background. I have checked my privacy and audio settings multiple times. Nothing so far seems to work.

    I hope this was clear as possible. I do appreciate any help!

    Match making sucks again I see

    Ive enjoyed MP so far. Much more balanced and a lot less laggy than any other Gears games. The only problem Ive encountered is our party chat keeps on disconnecting and connecting at random times. Anyone else have this problem?

    Random Disconnects from Party Chat/Games

    buy a new router, if all of your port are open and you have tried everything then i recommend getting a different router obviously it isnt working, i believe you have nat issiues that one xbox is open and the other is strict whixh comes down to opeing all
    your ports if you have a firewall on pc you will be fine.
