Chat is impossible!

burritosenior · Jul 18, 2014

Hi there. Ever since yesterday with all the packet loss stuff... well, my friends and I can all get online now, but we can't talk! In-game doesn't work, the party chat app doesn't work... and it isn't just between me and people. It's others on their own,
too. Any ideas?

Thanks!

:)

Voice chat and joining games is impossible.

Greetings, Frosty! From your description it sounds like this issue may very well be related to ISP issues. However, just to cover all our bases can you take a look at this sticky and post your responses to the questions in bold at the bottom of the page:

forums.xbox.com/.../155724.aspx ? This will offer us a bit more insight into the situation.

Thanks very much! Standing by for your response.

Voice chat and joining games is impossible.

I have been having connection problems for the past week and I still don't know the source. When I am in Xbox LIVE Parties my voice is heard for only a few seconds and then I'm muted for a long period of time. I also can't connect to any friends games.

My service provider has been having a lot of problems lately but we have another xbox in the house that experiences lag but can still talk to people and connect. My neighbors are also having problems but none of theirs are as bad as mine.

Is it possible that my actual xbox is the cause of my trouble?

It's not my controller. I used several different ones.

It's not my external wireless adaptor. I used several others to test.

It's not my microphone. I just bought a new one and tried with several others.

Check the xbox live service in your area and if that doesn't help make sure your connection has open NAT settings.

I think they should allow the chat party limit extended as well. And some games will disallow Kinect chat on game chat making it impossible to record in game chat.

I wish they didn't. It was so much fun to camp out with your team having a chat, a nice change from the lone wolf running and gunning. It was never impossible for the infected to win, it was actually more challenging and more fun. It's impossible for the
survivors to win now...

A guy from XBOX connected direct to my machine to do some manipulations after that I restarted the machine. Everything is exactly the same as before. Impossible to install the simulator, impossible to install the XBOX.

I have chatted with CLINT JOHN

Also I chat with a gamer that asked me to do all these manipulation. I need to connect with an engineer or somebody who knows win10 X64 perfectly.

Sounds like you're having ping issues.

Or Packetloss.

Try running www.pingtest.net real quick.

If you are having ping or packetloss issues, if you complain to your ISP they'll often compensate you.

In either case you definitely want to make a complaint.
