    Game chat never works unless I hard reboot


    Wvery dingle time I join a party, game chat will NEVER work after I join the party until I hard reset my xbox. It works afterwards, but when I join a party, from then on, it will NEVER. EVER. WORK. AGAIN. All until I hard reboot.

    Going to game chat doesn't work after I join a party, even if I leave it afterwards.

    Changing DNS does not fix this.

    Clearing alternate mac address does not fix this.

    Resetting my router does not fix this.

    Uninstalling and reinstalling the gane does not fix this.

    Restarting my headphones does not fix this.

    Going into tech preview to preview future builds also does not fix this.

    Signing out and back into my profile does not fix this.

    Game chat does not work for every profile I sign into on my xbox after I join party chat. So this isn't a privacy issue.

    All my privacy settings are allowed and set to everyone.

    Factory reset does not fix this.

    I have tried every fix, wvery troubleshooting method, and NONE OF THEM have fixed this.

    I had this issue with my cbox one, and its happening all over again with my series s.

    My friend's game chat works no matter what. There is no excuse or reason that mine will only work AFTER I hard reset my xbox, then DOES NOT WORK only AFTER I join a party, FORCING me to hard reset AGAIAN to have it work, only to perpetuate this cycle.

    I had the issue with my xbox one. Now its happening with my series s. Idk whats wrong. But nothing has fixed this yet, at all. Not even temperary, and I refuse to hard reset wvery time I use gane chat. Its so ******* annoying every time.

    :)

    Strict NAT Unless I Hard reboot

    Hi,

    try this;
    support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/networking/nat-error-solution

    you might need to port forward.

    ports you need open for xbox live to work;

    These ports must be open for Xbox Live to work:

    Port 88 (UDP)

    Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)

    Port 53 (UDP and TCP)

    Port 80 (TCP)

    Port 500 (UDP)

    Port 3544 (UDP)

    Port 4500 (UDP)

    Help on port forwarding here
    https://portforward.com/

    you might wanna contact your ISP about port forwarding and see if they can open them for you. if not manually do it.

    Thank you. I'll give it a try. Didn't think this would be the issue if it is open from time to time...

    It's hard to chat in the game. I don't think you can unless there is a work around. What soul level are you?

    Also to add, unless you can provide proof that the team are working hard I will not believe the team are working hard to fix it.

    This game on the WP version has never been patched. Hardly reassuring.
