Can’t connect to party or any Game Servers

IDKFridge · Dec 24, 2021

Right I was playing r6 this morning perfectly fine and was in a party with my mates. Round about 4:30pm the party died and connection to rainbow six servers dropped however I still had internet. I turned Xbox off and back on again tried joining my friends party however it showed “connecting…” I was waiting for about 20 minutes until I decide to do a full reset on the Xbox. HOWEVER this didn’t do anything I tried going on to the rainbow six servers then joining the party NOPE it didn’t work AGAIN I’ve checked my NAT type which is OPEN before you send me a stupid link to check if your NAT TYPE IS ON OPEN I then tried Fortnite and the Exact same issue which happens on r6 no connection to server. But the strange thing is if I go on YOUTUBE I can watch videos completely normal I Just can’t connect to party even though NAT TYPE is OPEN and I can’t go on any game

HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED AS IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHATS GOING ON ITS CURRENTLY 19:50 SO YOU DO THE MATH

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I'll recommend you do a power cycle to clear the system cache

- Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

- Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 2 minutes.

- Plug the console power cable back in. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on and check if it's all good.

If that doesn't help, I'll suggest you try doing a factory reset keeping games and apps on your console. This will refresh the console and remove all potential bugs without deleting any game data.

- Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

- Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

- Select Reset console.

- Choose Keep Games and Apps

Once that is done, you'll need to sign into the console using your Microsoft account credentials. If the issue is with your console, that should fix it.

I’m same here. Can’t hear any of my friends while in a xbox party. I don’t if there is too much server activity or server issue in general.
