HELP not getting game or party invites- I've tried everything

GrantPocalypse · Feb 16, 2020

For 3 weeks now I have been unable to get game invites and party invites. I do get Messages and some other notifications, but no invites

I also stopped getting party invite notifications on my phone

I've checked all my notification settings, everything's enabled, and I have never altered those settings in the past.

I've done a full console reset

Ive tried a different profile on my console - invites work fine

I've tried my profile on a different console - no invites

I've tried changing my Home console

my NAT is Open

I've checked Xbox enforcement and I'm not banned or anything like that

I've tried resetting my router and doing alternate DNS, MAC address and ports on the xbox, but I hadn't changed any settings there either.

I'm not sure how long this has been going on. I only realized it was happening when I got a text asking why I had been ignoring a friend's invites.

I have no idea what to do this is really frustrating.

Xbox online expert volunteers or whatever couldnt help, neither could the actual Xbox support employee I talked to, they just had me try everything I had already tried again.

the only thing I can think that could have caused the issue is that i recently signed into a windows phone to get some achievements on the Halo mobile games, but I've since removed my profile from the phone.

this is hugely affecting me, and from posting on reddit I've found that I'm not the only one. What is going on??

Please someone help m find a solution.

You have probably covered this, but on one of your devices, it might have changed? To change your activity feed preferences, update your privacy settings:

Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
Select System > Settings > General > Online safety & family.
Select Privacy & online safety > Xbox Live privacy > View details & customize > Communication & multiplayer.

Options under Communication & multiplayer include:

You can join multiplayer games
You can play with people outside of Xbox Live
Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites
You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice and text
You can use video for communications
Others can see your activity feed

Choose a designation from each option (such as Friends) to narrow who can see your feed and communicate with you.

I had a similar issue where no message went out or recieved. I ended up having to recover my gamertag 3 times and did a hard before it fixed that issue. Im now having problems where if i score more than 1k gamerscore in a given week the notifications
dont show for thosw earned achievements

When i had this happen a few weeks ago i had to do a Factory Reset to get it working again.

Quick tip too is to ensure you havent left the xbox app on your mobile device in the background, it will take the invites to one device and ignore the other one
