Hello Jim, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having some trouble when trying to play State of Decay. Let’s try to sort this out.

I can share some possible solutions for your problem:

A. Disable the IPv6 feature in your network adapter properties:

B. Use a custom DNS address in your network adapter properties:

These links lead to a non-Microsoft websites. The pages appear to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the sites that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the sites before you decide to download and install it.

Hello , no I am still struggling with this issue and any help would be appreciated

Hi Gabriel Sosa Jr,

Thanks for sending your reply.

We understand that you are trying to connect to the host and continue gaming State of Decay 2. We would like to ask for few details about your concern.

1. May we ask if you are having issues with other games related to multiplayer?
   
2. Did you get an error about network or internet connection? If yes, this might be related to Xbox Network, and you may be able to fix this by performing troubleshooting to the internet connection.
   

To check your Xbox Network, please take a screenshot or picture on this part:

(Since you have added in your thread category that this is a PC (Gaming and Xbox / Games and gaming / Xbox on Windows) then here are the steps below):

• For Windows 10:
  
  • PC Settings > Gaming > Xbox Network and check the NAT Type.
    
  • Look for NAT Type and error message/code.
    
  • Please reply with any error message/code you notice.
    
• For Windows 11: Install Xbox Console Companion app from Microsoft Store (click here)
  
  • Launch Xbox Console Companion app.
    
  • Go to Settings and select Network tab.
    
  • Look for NAT Type and error message/code.
    
  • Please reply with any error message/code you notice.
