Connected to Xbox Live, but games won't open

Werewolf998 · Dec 26, 2014

I was playing AC Unity with my friend perfectly fine for about an hour then we decided to go play some GTA V. As I was opening GTA V, it crashed immediately, and told me "To start GTA V, we need to be connected to Xbox Live. Check your network settings and
try again." Even though I was still talking to my friend and just got off AC Unity no less than 10 seconds earlier, I cannot open any other games, not even YouTube. It says I need to connect to Live even though I already am. Anyone else on a possible fix?

:)

Same issue with Shadows of Mordor. Haven't tried other games. The status update does not reflect unable to use games. Just says unable to purchase. They suffered from a DDoS attack yesterday. Would be nice for a more thorough status update.

Port forwarding won't help speed up your connection. If your NAT is Open and you're not having problems connecting to other people and game lobbies, then there is no need to alter any of your port settings,

I was not signing into xbox live before. I was not even connecting. I was just playing the games on the console. the profile I set up on there is missing and won't let me create a new one. I tried to connect and now it won't let me connect to xbox live.
It shows that I am connecting to the internet and then errors at the xbox live point.

they could of already started a game, this stops the invite showing in the inbox.

Also try open your NAT setting's sometimes if they are set to moderate it won't let people in your party and visa versa

XBox One MP isn't available for me either. NAT is open, the UPLAY app connects just fine, but the in-game MP won't connect to the servers. Why is this not being addressed?
