Can't connect To Friend's World Unless Restarted

JacobBruce1 · Jan 4, 2020

Me and my friend have a world which we play on everyday. She is on Xbox One while I play on Windows 10/ Xbox One. Sometime's she leaves the house and leaves the world open so I can play. I can join the World no problems when she starts it however I must
click "Join Game" on her profile to join because her world doesn't appear in my friends tab. However, If I leave the world and want to come back I almost always can't join. I can only join back once she restarts the world. What the issue here? We both always
have an open/moderate NAT type.

Why doesn't she show up in my friends tab in the game itself and why can't i join after long periods of time?

Her world is still open, but sometimes I still can't join after she is on for only a few moments and is active.

I may be wrong but it sounds like The issue may be because her game is timing out from inactivity while she is away, so when you leave the game yourself it see's it as both parties having left the game or timed out and is most likely why you require the
reset. Hope this helps.

Hello,

Has your friend added you on Xbox Live?

You can't know if your friend is not the issue just by that unless you can't join anyone else world in which case you will be missing some privacy settings adjustment

The server for that world might be down. It happened to a friend of mine before. Make sure you restart your console and see if it refreshes the server connection and then maybe it will appear again
