  1. Friends not showing up as online...


    I would like to report a problem with my Xbox Live account. For some reason that I cannot understand, I am having issues connecting with friends that are online. One example of this is anytime a certain buddy of mine is online it is impossible to add him
    to a party or add him to a fire-team as it only ever shows him as “offline”. And he is not the only friend that I have this problem with. I am part of a clan with Bungie and it only pulls the information for a handful of the actual members of the clan.

    what do I need to do to fix this problem?

    :)

    Hey there gamers,

    We had a service outage last night which may have been the culprit of your issues.

    If you are still experiencing connection issues, please create a new thread detailing your issues and any error codes you see and any troubleshooting steps you've tried.

    Happy gaming!

  5. Yeah, I've tried that a few times.... hence the reason I think it's an account issue.

  6. Xbox Live had a couple of hiccups this night.

    If it's an account problem, you might want to delete your account from your Xbox and redownloading it back. Do not fear anything, your games will stay on the Xbox and you won't need to re-install them and your game progress is stored in cloud.

    1.Delete your account.

    2. Hard Reset Xbox

    -hold power button for 10sec

    -unplug your Xbox for 3 MINUTES (to perform a CACHE reset)

    -unplug and power your Xbox

    3. Redownload your account.

    Hey StrikeKnight57, before you get into anything too crazy check the basics first.

    1. What is your NAT type showing as?

    2. What are your friends (that you can't connect with) NAT's showing as?

    3. Can the people that you are having issues with see you?

    4. Are you receiving messages from the problematic friends and vice a versa?

    Let me know and maybe we can help you out a little more.

    Yeah, it just started with me today. Friends go off and on every few seconds but with no notification popping up saying that "SOSO" is online. I really hope they can fix this bug.

    No official answers to this yet then? It seems odd to me that for alot of people it sempt to happen more or less at the same time....I haven't done the verification process thing but it is still happening for me....

    Same issue. Notification when i log in says I have friends online...which they are, but the appear offline in mt friends list and in games. I can only join a game when they invite me because according to my xbox they are offline! I have checked all my settings,
    everything is right....as there are a few of us that this has happened to around about the same time, i'm guessing it's a MS issue??
