    So my friend and I have been playing games together since January 2017. Recently, about 2 months ago, many games have been unplayable with each other due to some sort of bug that doesnt let us join each other without someone else hosting. Neither of us
    have blocked each other but we are gamesharing. I have already been gamesharing with someone else but we never had problems like this. Games like Battlefield 4 and 3 work but games like Payday 2 dont. Specific games we tested seem to work. If any information
    I have not listed is necessary I can add it to whatever comment you ask or recommend. If anyome could help us with this, it would be great. Thank you all in advance.

    :)

    Are people still having trouble with joining a friends game? I've been reading comments online and quite a lot of people have mentioned it.

  5. Yeah. Outside of us not being able to play games interchangably regularly, it doesnt affect us though.

    Hey Kross_Was_Taken,

    From the scenarios provided, it sounds like a connectivity issue between both consoles. Make sure to run the network tests on each console, and compare them. For basic troubleshooting, try visiting out Network
    Solution
    page. Let us know how it goes!

    As far as i understood when your in need of a neutral host for you two that its a nat and connectivity problem for sure. I would definetly test network on your xbox through settings and make sure your nats are open.

    Is also unplug modems for 30 minutes as well and let all the info go bye bye. It really does help reset the modems and connections especially if you have a rotating ip address compared to static ip.

    Hello Kross_was_Taken

    Understand your frustration in this matter. The thing is ( as I have seen on my own console) your nat type can be open on your console all day long, as soon as you connect to a game server it can change to strict or moderate if one of you are doing so it
    can cause issues with both of you playing. What I suggest is going to port forward to open ports for the xbox have only one of you try it first. Just follow website if you are unsure
    on how to do so. If unable to follow it you also can contact your isp you will need the ipv4 address found in settings>network>network settings>advanced settings> pv4 and the

    ports listed here
    and they can help you do it.

    Try this see if it helps. Let us know how it goes please

    Thanks

  11. We both have checked our networks via the tests. Nothing seems to stand out as alarming whatsoever.

    Hey Kross!

    The simplest way to portforward would be through the internet service provider! Give them a call and they should be able to help out. Give it a shot and let us know how it goes
