Friend cant see me in convoy or in Online session fh4

If the convoy leader starts a convoy race, then it should drag you all into their session to start the race as the infinite spinning circle just means people haven't loaded into the Leader's session.

Thank you for your response, but the issue is I can't join to my friends session. It means: my colleagues are in one session. They add me into convoy and I can't join into their session and I see infinite spinning next to their names and they see infinite spinning next my names.

thanks for the reply

i already be friends in xbox app and finish the prologue too. The funny is I can't join all my friends session/convoy and must wait my friends invite me. My friends can join my session/convoy without my invitation

Dear Jason Guer,

Thank you for your thorough reply. Unfortunately, we are still having this issue even after having made the changes and check-ups you recommended. Yesterday, my friend was able to find a session and join it, but the problem is that when I go to convoy menu using the Y button, I find that my friend has the label "playing online" while my profile is labelled "not in leader's session" (and this was shown both when I managed to join an online session and even after I restarted the game and got stuck in trying to find an online session). If this were an internet issue, we wouldn't have been able to play other games, but this seems to be an issue only connected to FH4. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me by showing me how I can get in touch with Forza team support. Is it via email or through the Xbox app? (because the last time I used the Xbox app, I was only offered the option of posting my issue here to the Microsoft community).

Many thanks in advance.

Khaled.

"All I can say is; I’m not personally experiencing any

problems connecting online in FH4.

I’ve been disconnected maybe 2 or 3 times this week, but overall all good from my side. I’ve played multiple games of The eliminator and other online races with no

problems."

The main issue is a complex and confusing one as online play is, mostly, unaffected....the issue is the Horizon Life sessions. For example, I can join a convoy with my friends but I cannot get into their session (they on Series X's, me on a One X)...however, if someone starts a Custom Adventure then, when it starts, it pulls all the players into the same Life Session....we then go on and complete the races. Once finished, it then dumps them into a Life Session and me into no session (just gives the "Play online" button).

The strange thing is that the Series X consoles are much less afflicted....there were issues with them as well until the recent fix that sorted out the game crashing.

I think the error message that comes up is not helping as, in most cases that I have seen (both here and on the Forza forum), it is flagging a DNS issue when it isn't. Only thing I can think of is that the server issue is showing up in the system as a DNS failure and so reporting as such. The same was happening last Summer when there was the whole PC Toredo mess and it was flagging a DNS error when it was a Toredo error.

Ofc this issue isn't affecting everyone as I see convoys on Twitch streams...one yesterday had 11 players in it and I struggle to believe all 11 had new consoles (though it's possible of course)

In other online games like bo4, warzone, fortnite, pubg, gta (don't have gta anymore) always ran so smooth like wooden floor. No disconnects either on those other games. I have fh4 on gamepass not sure if that may be a reason y...but yes it disconnects
every 5-10 mins and it is even worse when in in convoy like it disconnects every 2mins when I'm in convoy and I'm getting sick and tired of going to my friends profile just to join back on them.
