Cannot Join Games Or Parties

Hey dude,

Just because you both have the same NAT's, doesn't mean you'll be able to play together. What type of NAT do you both have?

Here is a description of each of the NAT types:

Open NAT: With an OPEN NAT type, you’re able to chat with other people, as well as join and host multiplayer games with people who have any NAT type on their network.

Moderate NAT: With a MODERATE NAT type, you’re able to chat and play multiplayer games with some people; however, you might not be able to hear or play with others, and normally you won’t be chosen as the host of a match.

Strict NAT: With a STRICT NAT type, you’re only able to chat and play multiplayer games with people who have an OPEN NAT type. You can’t be chosen as the host of a match.

So if you are either moderate or strict, that could be the reason. Some further tips on how you can solve the problem can be found here:

Hope this helps

Did you check the status NAT :

On the Network settings screen, under Current Network Status, the NAT Type field will tell you your current NAT type.
