Appearing Offline bug

PrudentAura · Dec 7, 2014

Just starting since yesterday, every time I come on Xbox One, my account is appearing offline so I set it to online and a few moments later, it resets to being offline. I cannot play with friends, talk in parties (kicks me out) or record messages etc. Please
help me! (Ps: I am in the Preview Program if that helps).

Friends issue

I have several friends who are online, they have checked their settings and it says they're appearing online, but on my Xbox One they're appearing offline. Is there a bug going on or is it maybe just my Xbox?

Dashboard gripe

[quote user="Huntkilburyfin"]

So when I see people are online in the social blade, I expect them to be online. NOT OFFLINE FOR 7 HOURS!. So why does it say they are "in a party" when they are offline? Is it that hard to sort out, surely not? Just another gripe about the AWFUL new dash,
and hoping someone gets fired before they ruin the next console!

Are you sure that the actually are offline, and not just appearing
offline. Microsoft have never really gotten their heads around the fact that making it obvious your appearing offline kind of defeats the point, but it would be a more minor bug (if still a bug (if still a bug that they probably won't fix)).

As for the adverts, the prominence of them is, certainly not ideal for the user.

Someone from the support staff named Marco solved this for me. Excellent service!

That is certainly not what "appear offline" should do. I would suggest following M3tal Daz3 advice and report it as a bug.

The only thing I did differently between last night and tonight was setting to "appear offline"

Has anyone else done this? Perhaps it is a bug within that setting.
