Cannot join friends party chat after today's update

Same issue today. Both consoles were updated. Then, when trying to party up to play FIFA we went into a party invite cycle. For myself and my neighbor, when we sent invites it opened party chat but neither could join. When we went to accept it sent us to
a new party. We were never able to connect. Could still use game chat but obviously I am not the only one with this problem. Would like to know why I spent $500.00 ?

Are you guys referring to a chat party or a game party? Are you trying to join both a game party and a chat party? If you can provide me with a bit more detail I might be able to help you diagnose the problem. Can you post exact repro steps?

If you or your friends are in the current Xbox One Update Preview, the party systems are incompatible due to heavy changes to the party architecture. This means you cannot chat with or join a party with someone in the beta (if you aren't in it), or someone
not in the beta (if you are in it).

The update is supposed to go live tomorrow (the 4th), so hopefully your problem will be fixed then.

Everyone I know is having the same issues.

- Party members are randomly muted during game play (requires starting a party chat)

- No game sounds or chat sometimes after leaving party chat (requires a hard reboot to fix)

- Friends cannot join lobby (requires host switch, or restarting the lobby)

- Friends accept invites and are thrown into a random game in progress

Very frustrating indeed. I miss my 360. It was a well-oiled machine.

I got the new update, the friends list and party chat are different. I was trying to get into the forum for the preview but I couldn't.

Only problem I am having is that i can't connect to a party chat with anyone who doesn't have the update as well...aka all my friends. It won't let me join their parties and they can't join mine as well.
