Anyone else unable to use game chat after being in party chat?

My party chat has worked for the most part, but I kept getting some message the other day about being unable to turn party chat on, despite already being in that party and chatting for well over an hour. After leaving the party, starting my own, and inviting
the players from the previous party, the issue ceased to occur. I'm not sure if this is the same issue everyone else is having, but I theorized it was connection or, possibly, NAT related based on whoever is the party leader.

I don't think this is really necessary, unless you are frequently in parties, but using game chat while everyone else is in party chat/other games in game chat. But that raises the question as to why you're in that party at all?

I am on an Xbox series S. Ever since the outage I have not been able to use party chat, I always get the [0x81900CC] error along with being able to even start my own party or join anyone else's.

If you want to get a team together and talk in party chat as a squad, add me. (you can only talk to your squad by the way [thats how it was in bad company], thats why your not hearing anyone you can only talk to other people if they are close to you) i
find party chat works better for a squad than the in-game squad chat. and as somebody else said the days of in-game chat with everybody using mics are over. thats why we have party chat (of course, nobody uses it like that).

Mufinz1337, when you're tired of being bothered with all the modder invaders out there, start up a party chat. You don't don't have to even chat with anyone. As long as party chat is on, Dark Souls plays in offline mode. Party chat = Offline mode.
