Can't play with one friend.

Gep193 · Dec 19, 2021

So playing multiplayer games, solo works completely fine and partying up and playing games with literally any other friend works fine to, but me and one friend can not play together. whenever we invite one another we get an in game error message or we either join and end up getting kicked within mins. we can talk in a party but not play together. we did some testing and if one of us uses an ult account it works just fine but it doesn't work on our mains.

Things we tried or know is not the issue:

It's not NAT type.

Its not general internet issues we called our service providers and they said everything looked fine.

We tried restarting our xbox's.

We tried signing out of out accounts and back in.

Neither of us has even gotten so much as a warning from microsoft for bad behavior or anything like that.

Neither or us has any child safety things.

Neither of us have changed anything in setting since it stopped working.

Im completely baffled to what is wrong here, I've never seen anything like this and am confused. Any help would be appreciated.

Just tried it, no change in results.

Multiple games, we tried Snowrunner, COD Vanguard, Warzone, Worms WMD.

If a third party or mutual friend host the party the connect lasts alittle longer but one of us still ends up getting kicked.

This is a rather strange one. How about you remove each other as friends on your account and add yourself again. That should refresh things.

Both of you should connect your consoles to a different network and then try to add each other again. I'm afraid that's all I got

If you get invites from some players but not all that could be a NAT type issue.
